Some projects need more than a standard slab. When you're working with sloping blocks or highly reactive soils, common throughout parts of the Mornington Peninsula and South East Melbourne. Bored Piers (also known as board piers) play a critical role in ensuring the strength and longevity of the build.
At Bay 2 Bay Concreting, we regularly install bored piers to support concrete foundations where surface soils lack the stability required for a direct slab. These vertical, steel-reinforced concrete shafts are drilled deep into the ground, transferring structural loads to stronger soil layers or bedrock below.
Bored piers are especially important for homes and multi-unit developments built on challenging sites, where ground movement could otherwise lead to cracking or settlement. By providing deep anchorage, they help the slab perform as intended solid, level, and long-lasting.
We manage the process from layout and drilling through to steel fixing and the concrete pour, coordinating closely with your engineers to ensure every bored pier meets specification. It’s this attention to detail, combined with our local knowledge and over a decade of concreting experience, that gives our clients confidence in the result.
If your soil report suggests additional support, or if your engineer has called for bored piers on your build, Bay 2 Bay Concreting will guide you through the process and deliver the result you need. We work across Carrum Downs, the Mornington Peninsula, and the broader South East Melbourne area, always with a focus on quality and clear communication.
