CFA drilling equipment based on continuous flight auger drilling technique is mainly used in construction to create concrete piles. CFA piles continue the advantages of the driven piles and the bored piles, which are versatile and require no removal of soil. This drilling method enables the drilling equipment to excavate a wide variety of soils, dry or water-logged, loose or cohesive, and also to penetrate through low capacity, soft rock formation like tuff, loamy clays, limestone clays, limestone and sandstone etc. The maximum diameter of piling reaches 1.2 m and max. depth achieves 30 m, helping overcome problems formerly connected to project and execution of pilings.

A1: CFA (Continuous Flight Auger) drilling equipment is primarily used in the construction industry to construct high-quality, stable concrete piles.
A2: This versatile method allows excavation across dry, water-logged, loose, or cohesive soils. It can also successfully penetrate soft rock formations such as tuff, loamy clays, limestone clays, limestone, and sandstone.
A3: CFA piles combine the distinct advantages of both driven piles and bored piles. They are exceptionally versatile and require no soil removal during the construction process.
A4: The equipment has a maximum pile diameter configuration reaching up to 1.2 meters and a maximum drilling depth capability of up to 30 meters, depending on project specs.
A5: Precision is guaranteed through an integrated concrete volume display system and an innovative, high-precision depth measurement system that outperforms standard rigs.
A6: The drilling rig is equipped with a high-performance CAT C-9 engine yielding a rated power of 213KW (286HP) and utilizes a robust CAT 330D undercarriage for optimal stability.
