Drilling in challenging urban, waterfront, or sensitive ecological settings requires specialized equipment to limit impact on the surrounding area. Casing oscillators and rotators offer benefits.

Beyond environmental advantages, rotators and oscillators offer operational and technical advantages on drilled shaft foundation projects. This makes the equipment highly valuable for complex deep foundation projects

Drilling contractors have a wide range of different drilling methods to choose from when drilling for a deep foundation including, micropiles, displacement piles, driven piles and drilled shafts. There are clear uses and advantages for each method.

Choosing drilled shafts over driven piles depends on a range of geotechnical, structural, environmental, and logistical factors. Here are the key reasons to use drilled shafts instead of driven piles,
