Continuous Flight Augers

Many situations call for the use of continuous flight augers, including: pre drilling for pile driving, pre drilling for wick drains, low headroom applications, dewatering and, of course, auger cast piles.

Let’s focus on pre drilling for pile driving: A continuous flight auger drills through the hard layers of the upper strata, ensuring easier, more efficient and faster pile driving. This initial step also improves location accuracy for steel, concrete, wood or sheet piles.

For auger cast piles: a continuous flight auger should also be used if you find yourself working in soft soils or sands where traditional open hole drilled shaft simply collapses. Once the required drill depth is reached, this technique allows for your chosen material—grout or concrete—to be moved through the hollow stem as the auger is extracted from the ground. This creates a continuous, filled shaft. Additionally, rebar cages can be inserted once drill is extracted and the hole is filled for maximum hold.

These are just two of the situations where you need to be equipped with quality continuous flight augers, and Stillwell Equipment is the only place you need to look for your continuous flight auger needs.
