Hammer Boring

 

What is Horizontal Down The Hole (DTH) Hammer Boring:

Hammer Boring is a casing advancement system that uses a down hole air hammer to pull a casing through solid rock and/or difficult mixed soil types.

This type of system is far superior to Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) and Jack and Bore Systems when ground conditions become too unfavorable for these two systems.

​

Hammer Bore Casing Sizes and Bore Lengths:

5.5" to 32" Casings

Up to 300-500ft long

​

Hammer Boring Ground Conditions:

EBI has been extremely succesful with Horizontal Down The Hole (DTH) Hammer Drilling in any ground conditions.

Ideal Ground conditions for this method are solid rock formations, but EBI has been succesful with casing installations where ground conditions continually vary from solid rock, to cobble boulders, to clay, and back to solid rock.

EBI has the ability to install casings in the roughest ground terrains that normal Horizontal Directional Drills (HDD) or Jack and Bore Systems cannot complete. 

​

Hammer Boring Crossing Types:

Road Crossings, Paralleling Roads, Bridge Crossings, Highway/Freeway, Railway, Rivers, Lakes, etc.
