Self-Drilling Hollow Bar
In unstable soils where temporary casing is required, self-drilling hollow bar system is an alternative to coarse threaded solid bars.
Hollow bar offers fast, easy and flexible system in any soil conditions, which simultaneously acts as the drilling rod (with lost drill bit), grouting tube and reinforcement bar (tendon). In unstable soils, additional operations of inserting and extracting the casings are avoided. Self-drilling hollow bar system also eliminates the need for multi-stage grouting.
Hollow bar micropiles transfer tension, compression and alternating loads into the ground through skin friction, all in accordance to EN 14199.
