While basic, boring techniques are very efficient in specific terrains and contexts. They ensure the hole is maintained open as construction progresses and pass under obstacles by creating a straight path between two excavated pits \/ shafts. These techniques can be equipped with simple guidance systems and are ideal for rectilinear structures, typically up to 120 meters in length.<\/span><\/p>\n

Auger boring is a technique used in soft ground, where a steel pipe is pushed into the earth from a launch pit. As the tube advances, a helical auger excavates the soil in place.<\/p>\n

The process relies on a drill bit at the front of the pipe, which rotates to excavate the ground as the tube progresses forward.<\/p>\n

For rock formations or those with significant blocometry, the traditional drill bit is replaced by a pneumatic hammer.<\/p>\n

The hammer breaks up the ground in front of it, with the crushed material being evacuated to the launch pit via an auger. Progresses continues, pipe after pipe, until the reception pit is reached.<\/p>\n

Pipe ramming<\/h3>\n

Pipe ramming involves driving an open pipe into the ground from a launch pit using impact force. Although this method is more basic and unguided, it remains effective for low linear projects and areas near the water table.<\/p>\n

As the ramming process continues, the pipe collects the displaced ground until it reaches the reception pit. Once in place, the pipe is emptied using hydraulic or mechanical methods, leaving a steel pipe in position, ready for installation of the network or pipeline.<\/p>\n
