Bored pile is the customized forms of piling process which is adopted in the world as most reliable deep foundation with effecting surrounding foundation of neighbor structures. The major piling operations with figures are stated below (Figures are marked at lower left corner with corresponding steps): 

1. Auger fitted with appropriate head

 
2. Auger drilled into ground to required depth


3. Concrete poured down hollow core of auger whilst auger is removed

4. Steel reinforcement cage pushed into wet concrete

5. Wet concrete overspill at ground level

6. Ground level reduced and top section of pile 'broken down' to desired level

7. Pile cap or capping beam constructed
