BORED PILING

Bored piling is a method that involves boring a circular hole into the ground,
installing steel reinforcement and filling the bore hole with concrete to
form a pile. Boring is carried out to the required depth by means of either
a crawler crane-mounted rotary boring unit or a purpose-built hydraulic
drilling machine. Bored pile foundations are suitable for all types of soil
conditions and compared with conventional driven piling methods, bored
piling activities generate less noise and vibration.

Aside from building foundation piles, the Bored piling method is also
used to form Contiguous and Secant bored pile walls for earth retention.
Contiguous bored pile wall is formed by installing closely spaced Bored
piles, with a small gap (typically 75 to 150 mm) between adjacent piles.
A Secant pile wall is formed by installing overlapping Bored Piles. Secant
Piles are usually selected where there are particular concerns about Drilling
groundwater inflow.

Static load tests are used to verify the capacity of bored piles. The most
common reaction frame is the kentledge system. Also used are reaction
piles, to provide tensile resistance. Conventional static load tests provide
valuable data regarding the actual capacity of the installed piles, the
corresponding design assumptions, and the distribution of load along the
length of the pile.

Over the years, Keller has provided various innovative piling solutions to
construction markets. For example, in 2010 Resource Piling drilled 2.5 m
diameter piles to unprecedented depths of 92 m for the Marina Coastal
Expressway project, Singapore. Also in 2010, Resource Piling was the first
piling contractor in Singapore to perform a 5,700 ton kentledge load test. Reinforcement
Keller was one of the earliest contractors to utilise polymer for borehole
stabilisation in India. In 2013, Keller performed a 7,500 ton reaction pile test
on a 1.8 m diameter bored pile in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Keller is also able to combine bored piling with other geotechnical solutions
such as grouting and ground anchors for retaining systems, and vibro stone
columns for liquefaction mitigation. In Asia, Keller is known for its high
safety standards, technical quality, on-time project delivery and overall cost-
effectiveness.
