Working steps

Concrete
pump

1 2 3 4 5

• Step 1: Positioning of rig

• Step 2: Lowering of the displacement tool into the ground by rotating and pushing of the tool. The soil is loose-
ned by the auger starter and then pushed into the surrounding soil by the displacement body.

• Step 3: Installation depth is limited by the height of the mast. It can be extended up to 10 m by using a kelly
extension.

• Step 4: When reaching the final depth the tool is extracted and concrete is pumped through the hollow stem of
the tool. The tool is rotated in the same direction as in the installation phase.

• Step 5: Installation of reinforcement cage (assisted by vibratory action) into the fresh concrete.

Advantages of the displacement pile

High bearing capacity Reduced Production Cost

• Displacement of soil volume into the surrounding soil
creates a highly densified cylindrical shaft area.
• The load transfer area (densified soil volume) is increa-
sed by appr. 30 %.
• The combination of high drilling speed,
short concreting time (high pumping capacity)
and short moving time (absence of excavated soil)
results in daily performance rates which are superior to
conventional drilling methods.

• Maximized performance and minimized equipment and

• As a consequence thereof the skin friction is increased
staff input results in low opereational cost per linear me-
by appr. 30% and the base pressure is increased by
ter of pile
appr. 50 – 70 % (in relation to the nominal diameter)

• Low cost per tonne of applied load (due to increased

Standard drilled pilel Displacement pilel bearing capacity as a result of the displacement effect)

compacted soil Displacement pile in “non-dispaceable” soil

• Non-displaceable soil is defined as:
- dense on-cohesive soil (sand, gravel)
– hard cohesive soil (clay, silty clay)
– weathered, fractured rock
Skin friction Skin friction Skin friction Skin
friction
• even in non displaceable soils the SDP system can be
used under the following conditions:
• - limited thickness of the non displaceable soil layer
• - the strata above this layer have to be displaceable.
Base pressure • When drilling into the non displaceable layer the exca-
vated
Vibration-free installation process • material is transported by the shape of the tool into the
upper layer
• Installation of the displacement tool with rotary drilling
methods avoids vibrations or impacts on adjacent struc-
.
tures or buildings.
• Avoiding of drilling spoil

• The soil is fully displaced into the surrounding soil mass

during installation of the displacement tool.

• As there is no soil transported to the surface this piling

system is ideally suitable for: displaceable soil
- working in contaminated areas
- excellent manoeuvrability on site
- no soil loading and transport of excavated soil re-
quired

High Productivity
• The rate of productivity is dependent on
– Pile diameter
– applied torque and crowd force
– density (strength) of soil
– displaceability of the soil
– pumping capacity of concrete pump

Minimizing of concrete consumption

• The overconsumption of concrete is considerably redu-

ced as a result of the displacement procedure compa-
red to other continuous flight auger techniques Non displaceable soil

Advantages of the displacement pile

Quality Control - Recording of

concrete pressure
During concrete installation, the concrete pressure is recorded
with pressure sensors located directly above the tool head.
It allows an accurate control of the installation process.

Quality Control - Material

Material components and ready mixed concrete is regularly

tested on the basis of local codes and a company´s quality
plan (e.g. quality of cement, workability of fresh concrete
(slump), strength of concrete (compressive strength after 28
days)

Quality Control – Construction Process

Visualising and storing of relevant process data such as:

- depth
- torque and crowd force
- crowd speed
- deviation
- concrete pressure and concrete volume

Data are analysed and printed as production record and

quality control sheets
