Earth augers
Speaker Notes
There are three main types of augers: solid stem augers, hollow stem augers, and earth augers. Solid
stem augers are the most common type of auger. They have a solid stem with a helical flight that screws
into the ground. Hollow stem augers have a hollow stem that allows for the collection of soil samples.
Earth augers are small, hand-held augers that are used for shallow holes.

Relatively inexpensive
Speaker Notes
Auger drilling has several advantages over other methods of drilling. It is a fast and efficient method that
can quickly create holes in the ground. Auger drilling is also relatively inexpensive compared to other
methods. Additionally, auger drilling creates minimal soil disturbance, which is important for
environmentally sensitive areas. Finally, auger drilling can be used in a variety of locations, including
uneven terrain and tight spaces.

Limited depth
Speaker Notes
Auger drilling also has some disadvantages. One disadvantage is that it is limited in depth. Auger drills
cannot create very deep holes. Additionally, auger drilling is not suitable for all soil conditions. Auger
drills can struggle in hard rock or very sandy soil. Finally, auger drilling can damage underground utilities
if they are not properly located.

Conclusion
Auger drilling is a common and versatile method for creating holes in the ground
However, it is limited in depth and not suitable for all soil conditions
Speaker Notes
In conclusion, auger drilling is a common and versatile method for creating holes in the ground. It is a
fast, efficient, and relatively inexpensive method that can be used for a variety of applications. However,
it is important to be aware of the limitations of auger drilling before using it for a project. If you are
unsure whether auger drilling is the right method for your project, it is always best to consult with a
