Sectional flight augered mini piles→

How it works

A sectional flight auger works like a continuous auger split into short lengths. The rig drills one section, the next is added, and so on until the bore reaches the design depth. Because the mast only needs to be as tall as one section, the rig can work in back gardens, under low ceilings and inside existing buildings.

When it’s used

Sectional flight augered mini piles are typically considered for all unobstructed ground conditions, including made ground and ground with a high water table, where access is restricted or headroom is low.

Advantages

• Minimal vibration, so it’s ideal next to buildings and underground services
• Works on restricted access and low headroom sites, in most ground conditions
• Low noise
• Can be designed to overcome the adverse effects of ground heave
