What is Auger Drilling?
Auger drilling is a method used to advance boreholes in soil and soft rock formations using a helical screw (auger) that lifts cuttings to the surface. This technique is commonly used for:
- Soil sampling and analysis
- Installation of piezometers and monitoring wells
- Environmental site assessments
- Geotechnical investigations
- Preliminary site exploration for foundation planning
This approach allows for continuous sampling and greater control in unconsolidated sediments, making it ideal for environmental and geotechnical applications throughout Alberta.
