Drilled pier walls are constructed by drilling a shaft into the ground and then filling that shaft with concrete. The concrete is reinforced with steel. This is an excellent way to stop a landslide when the soil above the rock is sliding downhill. In this video, the piers are 3.5 feet in diameter and go down about 35 feet deep!
