Temp Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Stumbled across this page which has DIY tips and tricks for boring short holes under pavements and the like for services. http://www.askthebuilder.com/tunneling-under-sidewalks-and-driveways/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Harris Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Perfect timing! I need to stabilise a small area of bank at the top corner of the path around our drive. There's a fence, with concreted in posts, but the soil around the concrete for the last post is eroding away. The fix I had in mind was to bore, one or more deep holes down slope and adjacent to it, and create reinforced concrete piles, to underpin and support this area. The plan was to use a combination of a post auger running inside a length of PVC pipe to create the pile (the PVC is to stop the hole from collapsing), but the pressure washer in a pipe method in that link looks a lot easier, and probably less likely to cause as much disturbance.

Declan52 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Done a road crossing using a 13t digger to push a 75mm steel pipe through the soil. Doubt the power hose will work in most of the stiff clay found here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
