These piles can be formed in diameters up to 4.5 metres and to 110 metres in depth in rock of strengths up to 200 MPa UCS, drilling in the dry in stable formations, or using water or other drilling fluid to support unstable soil, particularly below ground water level. Temporary or permanent casing may also be options.

Improvement of pile capacity under compression and tension loading, can be achieved by socketing into bedrock, where this is encountered at a feasible depth.

Vibro-pile has developed special equipment for forming high quality rock sockets, and has constructed such piles with load capacities as high as 80 MN.

Selection of appropriate tooling and cutting edges is facilitated by the availability of a wide range of tooling and cutting teeth. This is enhanced by our own range of cutting teeth, manufactured to our exclusive design.

Our extensive range of drilling equipment and expertise, enables us to accommodate most requirements, with a capability only born out of extensive experience.
