Disputes over using bored versus driven piles in weak carbonate rocks

When disputes arise over using bored versus driven piles in weak carbonate rocks, such as calcarenite, a thorough expert report becomes crucial.

These rocks present challenges in foundation engineering due to their complex behaviour under load and variable strength. Wilgeo Geotechnical Expert Witness offers expert analysis to determine the most suitable piling technique. Bored piles are preferred for handling substantial loads and adapting to difficult ground conditions, while driven piles can increase bearing capacity but risk damaging brittle carbonate formations.
