The Role of Auger Caps in Preventing Concrete Loss During CFA Drilling
Continuous Flight Auger (CFA) drilling is trusted for its efficiency, structural reliability, and ability to handle challenging ground conditions. However, one persistent challenge in CFA piling is concrete loss , which can compromise pile integrity, increase project costs, and lead to structural risk. This is where auger caps play a crucial role. These simple yet highly engineered components are essential in ensuring controlled concrete flow, preventing wastage, and maintaining pile quality from start to finish. At My Cite Australia, we recognise how critical precision and control are in foundation engineering. Auger caps support that precision by delivering consistency, safety, and cost efficiency on site. What Is an Auger Cap in CFA Drilling? An auger cap is a specialised component fitted at the head of the CFA auger to seal and regulate the discharge of concrete under pressure. It keeps concrete contained during drilling, preventing uncontrolled release until the auger is fully...
