The soil is either conveyed discontinuously using the grab and rotary drilling method with simultaneous support of the borehole by a casing or, in special cases, by bentonite suspension, or continuously using an endless auger (SOB). Once the cavity has been created, the reinforcement is installed using the gripper and rotary drilling method and concreted using the contractor method. With the SOB method, concreting is carried out directly via a core barrel while the continuous flight auger is being pulled and the reinforcement is then installed in the fresh concrete column.
