The concept of bored pile drilling machine:

Bored pile drilling machine is a type of construction equipment used to create bored piles in the
construction technology of concrete or cement mortar (i.e. taking soil up from the ground to form
a hole. digging) by drilling method.

Bored pile drilling machine

Basically, the bored pile drilling machine has 3 types as follows:

Bored pile drilling machine (twisted way): when drilling into the ground, the drilling blades
work like wood or steel drill bits, push land up through twisted wings. There is also a drill for
chicken intestines consisting of multiple drills, a cage cage that is twisted together and lined up
in a row (3 bits), used to drill to form barrette piles and a diaphragm wall to reinforce the
foundation (the diaphragm wall created with this device has the form of row of circular cross-
sections planted overlapping and successive). The bored piles are suitable for drilling many
different types of bored piles, of which the most typical are four types:

-Bored piles are piles constructed by different drilling methods (bucket drilling, backwashing
drilling, … ).

-The bottom expansion bored pile is a type of bored pile with the diameter of the bottom of the
pile larger than the diameter of the pile body.

-Barrette piles have a non-circular cross-section with many different cross-sections, this is one of
the commonly used bored piles in Vietnam.

-Bored piles with washing erosion and bottom reinforced cement mortar pump are bored piles
that apply bottom wash technology and bottom reinforced cement mortar pump. These are the
development steps in bored pile construction technology.

Bored pile drilling machine (bucket type): when working, the bucket rotates according to the
drill rod, cuts the soil, filled the digging bin, then the soil in the digging bin is brought up with
the digging bin by drawing the lever drill up.

Reverse circulation pump bored pile drilling machine: the ship’s propeller blade (ie the propeller
type) drills into the soil by attaching to the head of the drill, which is the pump pipes, which
rotate. After the soil has been reduced to drilled humus, it is pumped with a large capacity pump,
pumped onto the ground with the solution kept on the wall of the hole through the drilling line.

In terms of structure, the drilling barrel type bored pile drilling machine includes the system of
drilling rod (shaft) and the head of the drill (bucket). This entire system is usually mounted on a
crawler crane weighing about 30 to 80 T, mainly using a hydraulic motor called a processing bull
head drill.

For standard machines such as BAUER, there are many types of bored pile drilling machines,
but popular in Vietnam are using the above mast drill, this machine drills for good quality bored
piles, can drill large piles machines cannot drill, and can drill rocks at high solid intensity.

drilling rod (shaft) and the head of the drill (bucket). This entire system is usually mounted on a
crawler crane weighing about 30 to 80 T, mainly using a hydraulic motor called a processing bull
head drill. The drill rod is made of steel consisting of 3 to 5 interlocking sections like an antenna
column, the length of the rod is from 12m to 18m. When drilling the inner segments protrude
themselves until all 5 segments are drilled, the drilling depth ranges from 30m to 64m. Drill rod
includes two types of friction rod and lock lever. For each geological type that uses these
levers. Typically the drill series BAUER BG46. Bauer BG46 is one of the most modern bored
pile drilling machines currently in the industrial construction drilling machine market developed
and manufactured by Bauer Group from Germany.
