Start off on the right footingTrusted industry specialists
Quiet, steady and built to carry.
The success of any build depends on getting the foundations right. We advise on, design and install the right piles for your project, and our large fleet of rigs means fast turnaround and cost-effective solutions.
Augered piles are formed by drilling the soil out and filling the bore with concrete and reinforcement. Because nothing is hammered in, they’re among the quietest forms of piling, and the go-to choice in built-up areas, on retaining walls and for retro-fit basements.
- Minimal vibrationSafe to work right beside existing buildings and services.
- Heavy loadsPiles up to 900mm diameter, with safe working loads up to 5500 kN, subject to design.
- Rig to suit the siteAugering rigs from 3.5 tonnes up to 29 tonnes.
Augered pilesThree ways to bore
Matched to the ground and the site.
We offer three types of augered pile to suit the ground conditions we meet. Not sure which you need? Our engineers will recommend one.
Open hole augering
For firm to stiff clays and other cohesive soils with a low water table. Piles from 150mm to 900mm diameter.
Open hole augering → 02Continuous flight augering
CFA piles for almost any unobstructed ground, including made ground and high water tables. Up to 25m deep.
Continuous flight augering → 03Sectional flight augering
SFA piles for restricted access and low headroom, from house plots to confined basements.
Sectional flight augering →Also from M&DOther piling services
Not the right fit?
We offer driven, screw and mini piling too, so the recommendation is always the best one for your site, not the only one we can offer.
Flexible construction packagesYour project, your way
Let’s get your project off the ground.
We can deliver the full package below ground, from design calculations and mini piling to reinforced concrete works, or install piles to your own engineer’s design. Either way, your building gets foundations that stand the test of time.
