Gulf Coast Auger Cast in Place Pile Foundations

Skilled Installation from Superior Foundations

If you have stable soil some depth below your building but accessing it via other pile methods isn’t necessarily practical or feasible, casting your piles in-place may be the ideal solution. This is a particularly effective way of creating potentially extremely deep pile foundations without necessarily having a ton of space or room around the area to install pre-assembled or pre-cast piles. At Superior Foundations, we can install foundations with piles that are cast directly in place. This gives you the ability to take advantage of the strength of auger piles without worrying about the hassle of hauling in and installing pre-constructed piles.

At Superior Foundations, our focus is simple: Deliver high-quality, safe, and consistent foundations for a wide variety of businesses throughout the Gulf Coast. Based in Gulf Coast and proudly serving customers across Texas, Mississippi, and Alabama as well, we’re the name to turn to for specialized foundation engineering and construction for all types of buildings, including large industrial and commercial facilities with high structural weights.

What Are Auger Cast Piles?

Auger cast piles are formed by drilling a hollow-stemmed, continuous flight auger into the ground. Once the auger reaches the desired depth (typically a source of stable, solid soil or bedrock that can serve as an appropriate anchor), a cement grout mix is pumped down the stem of the auger as the auger is slowly withdrawn. On occasion, contractors reinforce the piles with a steel rebar cage for additional strength. The pile then cures in place to form the structural supports for your foundation.

Why choose auger cast in place piles?

• Space-saving installation: You don’t have to worry about drilling massive piles into the ground. If space is limited, this option often makes more sense.
• Vibration resistant: If your building is going to serve a vibration-sensitive purpose, such as a chemical plant, this type of foundation can greatly reduce vibration for safer operation.
• Minimal disturbance: Because this type of installation requires minimal digging, these piles are typically a great choice for sensitive locations.
