Foundation Works
Piling, bored piles and foundation applications.
Piles, bored piles and foundation applications
Foundation work covers bored-pile drilling, ground improvement and foundation excavation. While the ground is drilled with high-torque augers, breaking and drilling come into play in hard layers.
Choosing the attachment suited to the ground type directly affects pile drilling speed and foundation quality. HKM lets you bring the foundation workflow, from drilling to rock breaking, together on a single machine.

Rock breaking at foundation level
Prepares the excavation base by breaking rock, old foundations and concrete layers at foundation level.
Detailed use scenario
Bored pile and ground drilling
Opens circular pile holes in hard and mixed ground with high torque; provides efficiency in bored-pile and foundation drilling.
Pile head and wall profile
Performs pile-head cutting, foundation-wall profiling and controlled, low-vibration excavation in hard-rock foundations.
- Pile heads are trimmed layer by layer without damaging the rebar.
- Foundation walls and excavation faces are milled to the design section.
- On hard bottoms, controlled deepening continues without switching to a breaker.
Precise excavation with axial milling
The vertical drum works vibration-free at high throughput on surface and wall correction in narrow foundation excavations.
- Wall faces in narrow foundation pits are milled precisely.
- The foundation base is trimmed under control down to design level.
- Surface preparation before concreting is completed with a single attachment.
Fast switch from drilling to breaking
Speeds up the foundation workflow with fast switching between auger, breaker and cutter.
- Auger drilling, breaker work and bucket excavation line up in a single flow.
- On short tasks, attachment change time does not disrupt the schedule.
- On tight sites, job variety is covered without a second machine.
Loosen hard ground
Eases excavation by loosening medium-hard and layered foundation ground without blasting.
- Hard layers in the foundation pit are loosened by ripping, then dug with a bucket.
- Rock protrusions are removed down to design level.
- On massive hard rock the breaker takes over; the ripper does the pre-loosening.
Cracking and anchor line (soon)
Creates a cracking and anchor line by drilling holes in rocky foundation ground. This product line is under development.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which attachments are used in foundation works?
Augers for pile and foundation drilling, hydraulic breakers and rippers for hard ground, and drum cutters for rock excavation.
How do I improve digging output in hard ground?
The right breaker class and tool selection, combined with a ripper when needed, increase digging speed and equipment life.
Do you provide project-based equipment support?
Yes. With soil survey and machine data we build an attachment and spare-part plan for your project together.
