Solid Stem Auger Drilling Services
Efficient Solid Stem Auger Drilling for Geotechnical & Construction Projects
Hanlon Drilling provides dependable solid stem auger drilling services for geotechnical investigations, construction support, and soil exploration projects. Using proven drilling techniques and modern equipment, our experienced crews deliver accurate subsurface information that helps engineers, contractors, and developers make informed decisions.
Solid stem auger drilling is a cost-effective method for exploring soil conditions in stable formations and is widely used for foundation design, site characterization, and construction planning.
What Is Solid Stem Auger Drilling?
Solid stem auger drilling uses continuous-flight augers with a solid center shaft to advance a borehole through soil without the need for drilling fluids. As the auger rotates into the ground, soil is transported to the surface along the flights, allowing geologists and engineers to observe subsurface conditions throughout the drilling process.
This drilling method is well suited for shallow to moderate-depth investigations in cohesive and relatively stable soils where temporary casing is not required.
