Gulf Coast Auger Pressure Grouted Piles
Skilled Foundation Contractors Serving the Gulf Coast
Auger Pressure Grouted piles, or APG piles for short, are a type of cast-in-place pile that provides exceptional strength and functionality at depths of up to 150 feet. This type of pile is formed by forcing a hollow auger into the ground to the desired depth. Once we reach that depth, we then force grout into the hollow shaft of the auger under high pressure, forcing it into the drilled shaft as the auger is removed. Once the shaft has been filled with grout, we then reinforce the shaft with rebar. Grouted piles can vary between 12 to 24 inches (in two-inch increments) or as wide as 30 to 48 inches (in six-inch increments), and they have been load tested to more than a thousand tons (or up to 500 tons for compressive loads).
Auger pressure grouted piles are the perfect choice for industrial projects located in:
- Loose sand soil
- Medium-dense sand soil
- Soft clay soil
- Firm clay soil

Advances in Auger Pressure Grouted Piles
Recently, there have been significant progress in auger pressure grouted pile design, testing, and installation procedures. New construction methods and techniques involve the addition of displacement piles with no spoils. Other new techniques use partial displacement piles. These methods utilize several of the same procedures as traditional auger pressure grouted piles.
Superior Foundations is proud to use new testing and quality assurance procedures, including:
- Automated pile installation monitoring equipment
- Non-destructive integrity testing
- Grout maturity strength testing procedures
