Pile depth and diameter selection

Why depth and diameter are the two most important numbers in any CFA pile design

Every CFA pile design comes down to two fundamental parameters: how wide the pile is and how deep it goes. These two numbers determine how much load the pile can carry, how much concrete and reinforcement it requires, and what it costs to install. They are not selected from a standard table or chosen based on what was used on a nearby project. They are calculated by a structural engineer for your specific site, your specific ground conditions, and the specific loads your building places on the foundation. Getting them right at the design stage is what makes the difference between a foundation that performs as intended and one that either costs more than it should or falls short of what the structure requires.
