a bit about our service
Bored Piers
Bored piers, also known as drilled piers or caissons, are deep foundation elements designed to transfer the structural load of a building, such as a home, to stable soil or bedrock deep beneath the surface. This method is commonly used when the surface soil is weak or expansive and unable to support the weight of the structure.
Bored piers are a type of foundation that transfers structural loads from a building to stable soil or bedrock below the surface. This approach is particularly useful when surface soil is too weak or unstable to bear the structure’s weight.
The Use of Bored Piers in Home Foundations:
- Load Transfer: Bored piers help shift the weight of a home from weak or unstable surface soils to deeper, more stable ground layers, preventing the foundation from settling or shifting over time.
- Ideal for Sloped Sites: These piers are commonly used on sloped sites or areas with varying soil conditions. They can penetrate soft soil layers to reach stable rock or firmer soil below.
- Minimises Disturbance: Compared to shallow foundations, bored piers cause less ground disruption, which is particularly useful in tight spaces or when working near existing structures.
- Customisation: The depth and diameter of the piers can be tailored to the specific needs of the site and building, making them a flexible solution for various foundation types.
