Cased auger pile

A cased auger pile is formed using the twin rotary-drive system (also called ‘FoW’ or Front of Wall system), with extraction of soil under a temporary casing. The system is particularly suitable for the manufacturing of a pile wall (secant pile wall, tangent pile wall, contiguous independent piles). The execution is vibration-free and with limited noise pollution. The reinforcement is placed after the concreting phase.

Construction sequence

Fields of application

• Particularly used for the realization of soil retaining and/or water retaining walls (see secant pile wall)

• Can be executed throughout existing, old foundations (masonry)

• Can be installed close to existing facades (e.g. a few centimetres)

Environmental impact

• In vibration sensitive areas: the pile is formed without vibration or shocks

• In a noise-sensitive environment: low noise level generated

• Removal of soil

• A stable, dry and flat work platform is required.
