These reinforced concrete piles are cast in holes of predetermined diameters and depths drilled through the soil and rock to the desired bearing stratum. The large diameter drill that Buffalo Foundation Drilling uses has the capability and experience of drilling shafts from 18 inches to 96 inches (and larger) in diameter, and to depths of 150 feet.

Caissons, which are capable of supporting high, concentrated loads are typically used to set piers for bridges, underpasses, structural supports, as well as in slide prevention applications. Caissons are viewed as reliable and versatile, and economical foundation support solutions.
