Continuous flight auger (CFA) piles in the UAE

A continuous auger supports the bore; concrete or grout is pumped through the hollow stem during withdrawal.

HOW IT WORKS

Installation sequence

01

Continuous drilling

Drill to the specified depth with the continuous auger.

02

Withdrawal & pumping

Coordinate withdrawal with delivery pressure and volume to maintain the shaft.

03

Reinforce & check

Install reinforcement as specified; review installation data and required tests.

APPLICATION & ENGINEERING

Continuous flight auger piling for foundation loads

The continuous auger supports the bore during drilling. Concrete is pumped through its hollow stem during withdrawal, followed by reinforcement installation within the workable concrete.

When to choose this method

CFA piling combines drilling and concreting in a continuous sequence. It can suit urban sites where installation vibration must be controlled, provided the soil profile, required depth and reinforcement installation are compatible with the method.

Planning the installation

The ground investigation, groundwater conditions and structural requirements inform method selection. Working access, installation sequence and effects on neighbouring structures are reviewed before execution.

Construction control points

  • Drill to the specified depth with the continuous auger.
  • Coordinate withdrawal with delivery pressure and volume to maintain the shaft.
  • Install reinforcement as specified; review installation data and required tests.

Monitor auger penetration and withdrawal alongside concrete pressure and volume. Record reinforcement insertion and perform the specified integrity and load tests to assess acceptance.

Engineering considerations

  • Geotechnical report, groundwater and nearby structures.
  • Approved design, access and working-platform requirements.
  • Installation records, inspection and specified acceptance tests.
