Dry Auger Boring
Dry Auger Boring is the drilling technique that is also known as bed boring and under road boring. Auger boring is a trenchless application that works by creating a horizontal bore through which conduits can be run. Dry auger boring is known as ‘dry’ as it does not make use of drilling fluids.
This technique is often suitable for projects where traditional trenching or excavating isn’t practical. This includes smaller jobs like road crossings, under driveways and where trees/landscaping cannot be harmed and/or removed. A wide range of different conduits, including plumbing, electrical wiring, and communications can be used to pass through bores created by auger boring, which have a minimal surface disturbance.
At AV Drilling our unique, cutting edge equipment enables us to perform auger boring where conventional directional drills cannot fit.
We are suitably equipped for drilling works in difficult access areas as minimal lead in room is required for our under boring method. This is advantageous when auger boring is under or alongside:

- Footpaths
- Driveways
- Concrete and Pavement
- Roadways
Our drilling technique allows existing infrastructure to remain undisturbed and mud does not eventuate in this process, therefore mess is minimised which is beneficial in urban areas with high-density populations and busy workplace environments and results in less waste to local landfills. These advantages are what makes bed boring such a popular service!
Our experience and expertise in Auger Boring allows us to bore in all types of clay and shale as well as being equipped to drill in conditions like sand and rock. Borehole diameter capabilities are 50mm to 600mm plus. Dry under road boring is cost-effective as mud removal and tip fees are avoided. Upon completion, conduits are installed and are ready for our clients to use.
