A bored pile is a type of deep foundation used in construction to support heavy structures. It is created by drilling a hole into the ground and then filling it with concrete. This method is particularly useful in areas with weak soil, as it provides stability and strength to buildings, bridges, and other large structures. The process of installing a bored pile involves using specialized drilling equipment to create a vertical hole. Once the desired depth is reached, reinforcement bars may be added, and concrete is poured into the hole. Bored piles are often used in conjunction with other foundation types, such as pile caps and footings, to enhance overall structural integrity.
