Drilled Piers Piers

Drilled piers, also known as drilled shafts or caissons, are deep foundation elements used to support structures and transfer loads from the superstructure to deeper, more stable soil or rock layers below the ground surface. They are commonly used in construction projects where shallow foundations may not be sufficient to support the loads imposed by the structure or where the soil conditions are unsuitable for shallow foundations.

Drilled piers are commonly used in various construction projects, including bridges, high-rise buildings, transmission towers, and industrial facilities. They offer several advantages, including high load-bearing capacity, suitability for a wide range of soil conditions, and minimal disturbance to surrounding structures and the environment.
