Increasing investments in infrastructure are expected to drive the growth of the continuous flight augering (CFA) market in the coming years. Infrastructure encompasses the essential physical systems and facilities, such as transportation networks, utilities, and public institutions, that support the development and functioning of society and the economy. The rise in infrastructure investment is fueled by rapid urbanization, which creates demand for expanded transportation, utilities, and housing. This investment promotes economic growth and enhances living standards in fast-growing cities. Infrastructure spending boosts demand for continuous flight augering by increasing construction projects that require efficient and dependable foundation drilling solutions. For example, in July 2024, the UK’s Office for National Statistics (ONS) reported that infrastructure investment reached $17.66 billion (£13.8 billion) in 2023, a 3.9% increase from 2022. Therefore, the growing infrastructure investment is driving expansion in the continuous flight augering market.

Leading companies in the continuous flight augering market are advancing technology with innovations such as hydraulic quick connection systems to improve equipment versatility, shorten setup times, reduce human error, and enhance safety and efficiency on construction sites. Hydraulic quick connection systems allow for rapid, tool-free coupling and decoupling of hydraulic, mechanical, and electrical components between machinery and attachments, streamlining operations. For instance, in May 2025, Liebherr, a Swiss equipment manufacturer, launched the LRB19 piling and drilling rig, succeeding its LRB16 and LRB18 models. Designed for diverse deep foundation applications, the LRB19 features advanced digital assistance and a hydraulic quick connection system for fast attachment changes. Its compact, self-assembling design improves transport efficiency and on-site flexibility, marking a major step forward in foundation construction technology with enhanced safety, performance, and automation.

In September 2025, Statom Group, a UK-based construction services company, acquired Franki Foundations UK Limited for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, Statom Group aims to enhance and expand its geotechnical and deep foundation capabilities, allowing it to undertake larger and more technically complex projects across the UK and Europe as part of its strategy to become a vertically integrated construction business. Franki Foundations UK Limited, based in the UK, specializes in piling and deep foundation services using continuous flight augering techniques.

This continuous flight augering (CFA) market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

Continuous flight augering (CFA) is a drilling technique used in construction to form deep foundations by drilling into the ground with a continuous auger and filling the hole with concrete as the auger is gradually withdrawn. This method enables efficient installation of deep foundation piles without the need for casing or open excavation, making it ideal for a range of ground conditions.

The main components of continuous flight augering (CFA) include equipment and services. CFA equipment refers to specialized machinery designed to simultaneously bore into the ground and inject concrete through the hollow stem of the auger during extraction. A variety of materials are involved in the process, including concrete, soils, clay, sand, and aggregates, and it is applicable across various environments such as urban, suburban, rural, coastal, and mountainous regions. CFA is widely used in residential and commercial construction, infrastructure development, industrial projects, and geotechnical investigations. Key end users include construction companies, project developers, public works departments, engineering and design firms, and utility providers.North America was the largest region in the continuous flight augering (CFA) market in 2025.
