Auger boring is a method used to create underground tunnels or boreholes. It involves a rotating helical screw, known as an auger, which excavates soil and transports it to the surface. This technique is commonly used for installing utilities, such as water and sewer lines, without disturbing the surface above. The process is efficient and minimizes disruption, making it ideal for urban areas. Auger boring can be performed in various soil types and is often used in conjunction with other methods, such as horizontal directional drilling, to achieve specific project goals.
