Auger drilling is a method used to bore holes into the ground using a helical screw-like tool called an auger. This tool is rotated into the soil, allowing it to lift and remove material as it goes deeper. Auger drilling is commonly used in construction, environmental studies, and geotechnical investigations to gather soil samples or create foundations. The process is efficient for shallow depths and can be performed in various soil types. Auger drilling can be done manually or with powered equipment, making it versatile for different projects. It is particularly useful for geological surveys and site assessments.
