Horizontal auger boring is a trenchless application used to install a steel casing from a launch shaft to a reception shaft. The cutting head of the auger machine penetrates the earth and excavates the soil ahead of the casing. The auger rotates in the steel casing while the helical coils of the auger draw out the dirt, or spoil, back through the casing to the launch shaft for removal.

Pilot Tube Guided Auger Boring (PTGAB) is one of the most popular and cost-effective trenchless method to accurately install steel casing for underground utilities, waterlines, and sanitary sewers.  This method combines the pinpoint accuracy of the pilot tube installation to control line and grade with the excavation process of horizontal auger boring.
