What Are Drilled Piers?
Drilled piers are deep foundation elements constructed by drilling cylindrical holes into the ground and filling them with concrete and steel reinforcement. These piers are designed to transfer structural loads from your building to load-bearing soil or rock layers deep below the surface. Drilled piers are a popular choice for both new construction projects and foundation repair applications.
When Are Drilled Piers Needed?
Drilled piers are an excellent solution for various scenarios, including:
- Foundation Settlement: If your foundation experiences settlement, causing cracks, uneven floors, or structural issues, drilled piers can stabilize and raise the foundation to its original position.
- New Construction: For new construction projects, especially in areas with challenging soil conditions, drilled piers provide reliable support for the structure.
- Heavy Loads: When your building needs to support heavy or concentrated loads, drilled piers are a suitable foundation option to ensure stability.
- Expansive Soils: In regions with expansive or compressible soils that can lead to foundation movement, drilled piers are a solution to prevent future issues.
- Sloping or Hillside Construction: For buildings on slopes or hillsides, drilled piers help anchor retaining walls, maintaining stability and preventing erosion.
The Advantages of Drilled Piers
- Exceptional Load-Bearing Capacity: Drilled piers offer high load-bearing capabilities, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, from residential homes to commercial structures.
- Versatility: These piers can be customized to meet specific project requirements, including load capacity and depth.
- Minimal Disturbance: Drilled piers can be installed with minimal site disruption, making them a viable choice for projects with limited access.
- Stability: Drilled piers effectively stabilize foundations, ensuring long-term structural integrity.
