Auger Cast and Continuous Flight-Augered (CFA) Piling

Subsurface constructors provides you with experienced auger cast pile contracting as the region’s most complete specialty foundation contractor. In the appropriate soil profile, augercast piling is an economic alternative to traditional high capacity deep foundations.

Fast installation and reduced soil disturbance are just two benefits from Subsurface high torque equipment and heavy section augers. This equipment provides Subsurface with the capability to complete your large or small projects ahead of schedule.

Advantages of Auger cast Piles:

  • Flexible – Available from 12 to 30 in diameter
  • Rapid installation – even with poor soil conditions
  • Faster results with in-house design
  • Less noise – drilled and pumped piles eliminate the hammer impact noise heard with driven piles
  • Minimal vibrations and disturbance
  • No casing needed – auger holds shape of the pile hole during the drilling phase of auger cast pile installation.
  • Have limited headroom? – Augercast piling can be installed in existing buildings with as little as 7 foot clearance.
  • Load Testing also available and encouraged to verify design loads

Auger cast Pile Installation

Auger cast piles are high-capacity deep foundations best suited for sands and silts below the water table. They install by drilling a continuous flight, hollow stem auger to the termination depth. A sacrificial plug inserts into the auger tip prior to construction and is pushed out by grout flow.

After reaching design depth, grout pumps through the auger as the auger is slowly removed (with rotation) from the hole. Upon completion of the pile, a steel cage or single steel bar may be placed in the center of the hole in the still-fluid grout in order to provide reinforcement.

Why an Experienced Augercast Piling Contractor is Crucial to Your Project

Quality control is crucial when installing auger cast piling, and you want to retain contracting services experienced with a wide variety of projects.

Subsurface Constructors installed thousands of auger cast piles with rigorous quality control for the following types of projects:

  • oil refinery pipe racks
  • liquid storage tanks
  • industrial and commercial structures
  • large casino structure
  • temporary shoring systems in unstable soils using auger cast piles as the lateral support elements.
