Continuous flight auger drilling

A single-pass drilling method

CFA drilling (cast-in-place piles)

Continuous flight auger drilling belongs to the dry rotary drilling methods. It is suitable for predrilling as well as for the installation of cast-in-place piles. The soil (under certain conditions also rock) is loosened and conveyed continuously using a continuous flight auger. The borehole wall is supported by the auger flights filled with drill cuttings.

Procedure of producing a cast-in-place concrete pile with continuous flight auger drilling:

1. Positioning at the drilling point

2. Auger drilling until the final depth is reached

3. Extracting the auger and pumping in concrete

4. Pressing or vibrating in the reinforcement

5. Finished pile

Drilling with continuous flight auger

The auger is drilled into the ground down to the final depth in a single continuous process.
