Since the Southwest is primarily desert, the ground can be unstable and too soft in many areas to build strong structures upon it. Our services can create pillars to make your foundation capable of withstanding the weight and traffic of a busy building.
Our rigs can power through the ground with no issues. As such, we offer a variety of pier drilling services, including:
Pier drilling uses an auger to be able to drill deep into the ground. It’s mainly used to create piers and columns used to place a foundation and structure upon. This process is used for unstable ground that can’t support a structure on its own. Piers are built deep enough to be able to hit solid ground or bedrock, which can provide support to hold a structure above it. We see this fairly often in the El Paso region due to our desert landscape.
Foundations That Require Pier Drilling
We use this process when there are factors such as intense soil erosion or expansive soils, apparent uplifting focus in the soil, a weak and unstable topsoil layer, or horizontal forces acting against the foundation.
