    Well foundations use under-reamed piles that are bored and cast-in-place concrete piles with bulbs formed by enlarging the pile stem below ground. These piles have a higher factor of safety than normal bored piles due to their larger bearing area provided by the bulbs. Under-reamed piles are suitable for supporting tall structures in weak soils or where scour is a concern.
