A high-capacity foundation solution for heavily loaded and sensitive sites

Bored piles are constructed by drilling an excavation to the required depth and filling it with reinforced concrete. This technique provides precise installation and high load capacity, making bored piles well-suited to structures with significant loads, limited footprints, and environments where noise and vibration must be carefully controlled.

Key advantages of Bored Piles

High Load Capacity

Bored piles are well suited to foundations requiring large bearing capacity, supporting heavy structural loads with limited foundation footprints.

Low Noise and Vibration

Installed by drilling rather than driving, bored piles minimize noise and vibration, making them ideal for urban environments and sensitive sites.

Precision & Ground Adaptability

Drilled installation allows for accurate positioning and adaptability to variable soil and rock conditions, including socketing into competent strata where required.

Applications

Bored piles are commonly used across commercial, industrial, infrastructure, and institutional projects where high load capacity, precise installation, and controlled construction conditions are essential.

Structural Foundations

Used for permanent deep foundations in high-rise buildings, arenas, and other heavily loaded structures requiring large bearing capacity and settlement control.

Infrastructure Structures

Applied to bridge piers, abutments, and electrical transmission towers, where deep foundations must safely transfer significant loads while accommodating site and ground constraints.

Urban & Constrained Environments

Well suited to dense urban areas or sites near existing structures, where vibration, noise, and limited space influence foundation selection.
