Continuous flight auger piles are installed in a single uninterrupted process that keeps the bore stable from start to finish. This reduces the risk of collapse in loose or water bearing soils. Photo Credit: FDS Foundation Drilling
Continuous Flight Augers: Optimizing Soil Displacement in Piling Operations

The continuous flight auger method is a widely adopted approach for creating cast in place…

Bridges built in difficult terrain often rely on large diameter drilled shafts because they can penetrate mixed soils and anchor securely into bearing strata. This allows bridge piers to resist vertical, lateral and uplift forces even when surface soils are weak or unpredictable. Photo Credit: Morris-Shea
Deep Foundation Innovations for Bridge Construction in Challenging Terrains

Bridge construction in difficult terrain demands sophisticated engineering and reliable deep foundation systems. When soil…

In large-scale foundation drilling, every detail matters—from the rig setup to lubricant selection. A well-maintained system ensures longer uptime, reduced maintenance costs, and superior productivity on site.
Enhancing Drilling Performance with Wear Components and Lubricants

Modern drilling demands more than brute force. Operators now chase longer equipment life, lower downtime,…

Chemical grouting involves pumping cementitious or resin-based grout into loose ground to fill voids and bind particles. This improves load-bearing capacity, controls settlement and seals paths where water could seep into deep foundation excavations.
Chemical Grouting Techniques for Soil Stabilization in Deep Foundation Projects

In deep foundation engineering, the stability of the supporting soil determines the strength and longevity…

A dewatering pump removes excess water from construction or excavation sites to keep the area dry and stable for foundation work. These pumps handle groundwater, rainwater, or seepage efficiently, preventing soil erosion and structural instability during deep excavations. Photo Credit: Sulzer
