Understanding Concrete Piling

What is Concrete Piling?

Concrete piling is a technique for creating deep foundations for buildings and structures by drilling out holes in the ground, occasionally installing reinforcement and filling with concrete. These piles help distribute the structure's weight to the underlying soil or rock layers, ensuring stability and strength. Concrete piling is a popular option for projects that only require shallow foundations, or those with significant structural loads. 


Types of Concrete Piling

Concrete Bored Piers

Concrete bored piers involve drilling a cylindrical hole into the ground and filling it with concrete. This method is versatile and can be adapted to various soil conditions. Concrete bored piers are commonly used in both residential and commercial construction due to their ability to provide robust support.

Concrete Filled Screw Piles

Concrete filled screw piles are a modern solution that combines the benefits of traditional screw piles with the strength of concrete. These piles are twisted into the ground and then core-filled with concrete, creating a solid foundation that can bear significant loads. They are particularly useful for projects requiring large loads and minimal site disturbance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is concrete piling?

Concrete piling involves driving or drilling concrete piles into the ground to create strong foundations for buildings and structures. This method ensures the load is transferred to deeper soil layers with sufficient bearing capacity.

What are the advantages of concrete bored piers?

Concrete bored piers provide robust support and can be adapted to various soil conditions. They are minimally disruptive during installation and are suitable for a wide range of construction projects, offering long-term stability and strength.

How do concrete filled screw piles work?

Concrete screw piles are installed by twisting them into the ground, followed by filling them with concrete. This process creates a solid foundation capable of bearing heavy loads immediately, making them ideal for projects requiring quick and reliable support.

Are concrete filled screw piles environmentally friendly?

Yes, concrete screw piles are environmentally friendly as they cause minimal disturbance to the soil during installation. Additionally, the materials used in concrete screw piles are often recyclable, reducing the environmental impact of your construction project.

Can concrete bored piers be used for residential projects?

Yes. Concrete bored piers can be used for residential projects, however they are a more expensive and time-consuming option to steel screw piles.

How quickly can concrete piles be installed?

The installation speed of concrete piles can vary based on project size and soil conditions. However, both concrete bored piers and concrete screw piles are known for their longer installation times compared to screw piles but can be needed to provide the necessary strength.
