Double rotary drilling

Double rotary drilling

Description

With pile production using double rotary drilling, an

outer casing and an inner auger (hollow auger) are
driven in counter-rotation by two independant rotary
drives which are mounted on a common carriage. The
outer casing provides support for the ground, while the
auger removes drilling cuttings up through the casing.
Once the final depth is reached, a concrete pump is
used to pump pumpable concrete via the hollow stem
of the auger inside the outer casing to the bottom
of the borehole. More concrete is pumped in under
simultaneous extraction of the casing and the auger
filled with drilling cuttings. The extraction speed is
selected as a function of the quantity of concrete and
the concrete pressure. In a further step a reinforcement
cage can then be inserted into the liquid concrete.

Soil types

Double rotary drilling is suitable for noncohesive soils

up to maximum density as well as cohesive soils up to
stiff consistency.

Advantages

• Suitable for nearly all soil types • Low vibration

• High productivity • Adjustment of casing and auger possible
• Very precise drilling • Drilling does not have to be carried out with water
• Low noise level injection

Equipment technology

Because of their high engine power, the carrier

machines of the LRB-series are especially suitable for
pile production with double rotary drilling.

The double rotary drives DBA 80, DBA 200 and

DBA 300 have sliding cylinders for the relative
adjustment of casing and auger. This means that the
casing can either run ahead of the auger to prevent
cave-in, or the auger can drill ahead as a pilot to break
up hard soil.
