Large Bore Piles and Large Bore Holes - Applications

For their production, cavities are created in the ground with the help of drilling tools. Depending on the soil conditions, the excavation is carried out without or under the protection of a casing. The boreholes are then filled with concrete, and depending on the structural requirements, a reinforcement cage is installed before concreting. Large bored piles have a wide range of applications:

They are used

• as a foundation element for transferring vertical building loads
• as a foundation element for retaining walls
• as bored pile walls as temporary shoring
• as bored pile walls as part of the final structure
• to secure against uplift and to absorb tensile loads
• for slope stabilisation and
• as energy piles

Large hole drilling is used

• for the production of large bore piles
• for the production of girder shoring
• for the construction of wells
• for the removal of obstructions in sheet piling or diaphragm wall routes
• for underground construction demolition under groundwater 
• for soil replacement for ground improvement and
• for soil replacement for contamination removal
