At Soilmec, we pride ourselves on foreseeing challenges before they arise, and engineering technical solutions.
Information about how machines behave on-site, analysed and then archived by our latest-generation computerised monitoring and checking tools, allows our engineers to study how machines react when they encounter problems in real situations. This is our starting point for devising new solutions, improving existing products, and designing new ones.
Our engineers call upon specially created technology tools to support the development of their designs. Soilmec has over 50 workstations available, equipped with CREO Parametric design software and five stations with PRO Mechanica or Ansys, for advanced structural and kinematical calculations.
There is no technology in the field of foundation engineering that can’t be carried out through a Soilmec rig. A complete range of over 70 models allows performing any type of foundation in the field of piles, diaphragm walls, micropiles and consolidations of soil and tunnels.
Technologies The DW (Diaphragm Walls) are walls built in the underground starting from the surface. The excavating system consists of a clamshell bucket (grab) with the same thickness of the wall to be built. The excavation is carried out with primary and secondary panels, with bentonite or polymeric slurry. The panels are reinforced with prefabricated […]

Technologies CFA (Continuous Flight Auger) technology joins the advantages of fixed piles with the versatility of application of drilled piles. Continuous Flight Auger piles are performed with a partial soil removal, thus with a lateral soil compression that increases the final load bearing capacity. The construction procedure consists of boring the soil by means of […]

Technologies CAP/CSP (Cased augered/secant piles) technology was conceived for lined piles with the continuous flight auger method. A particularly efficient method of building secant piles for the formation of continuous structural and/or sealed bulkheads.In the operating phases piles are dug with simultaneous driving of the casing and the augers into the soil. When casing is […]

Technologies (LDP) Large Diameter Piles performed with telescopic kelly bar and drilling tool (auger, bucket, core barrell) is the most commonly used technology throughout the world, as it allows to drill piles in any type of soil or rock. Bored pile is a cast-in-place concrete pile where the bored piles have to be cast on […]

Technologies Reverse Circulation Drilling System (RCDS) has been developed in order to drill or socket hard rock.The reverse circulation drilling system consists of a tool fitted with roller cutter bits, which penetrates continuously into the soil or rock by rotation, thrust and/or weight.The RCD system is operated once the pile is bored to the top […]

Technologies DP (Displacement piles) are performed without soil removal, thanks to drilling tools that displace the soil laterally toward the bore walls. On completion of boring operation, the drilling string and the tool are extracted while concrete is poured throughout the internal hollow pipe. The steel reinforcement cage is finally lowered into the fresh concrete. […]

The Jet-Grouting techniques have been developed for soil consolidation and waterproofing.Soil is directly mixed with cement in site to treat sand and clay formations in a homogeneous, continuous and non-polluting way. Advantages Applications TechniquesThe Jet-grouting techniques are classified depending on the number of fluids injected during treatment: All Jet-Grouting techniques include a drilling phase followed […]
