Frequently Asked Questions
The auger drilling process involves lifting steel tubes through the earth, connecting the main shaft to the reception shaft, to form a horizontal bore. Rotating auger drills are used to remove spoil from inside the encasement. As spoil passes back through the casing pipe to the main shaft, it is removed by the rotating augers. Auger drilling machines enlarge holes in earth or rock with a cutting head attached to the initial auger, which lays steel casing pipes.
Auger drilling is suitable for geologies containing sand, gravel, clay, or even urban fill. While many other technologies cannot reach the same depth as an auger, it is a good option when a deep hole is required. Excellent quality auger drill bits are used in the most common applications to drill holes in the soil, dig wells, collect groundwater, and get geological information.
The auger drill bit is designed like a screw and is composed of steel; the curving flights revolve when the rig drill head provides upward pressure on the bit. It is essential to rotate the flights because they mechanically transport the material to the surface. The auger drill bits, which range in length and diameter from 2 to 18 inches, may be installed on a variety of equipment or vehicles.
