Landscape Irrigation - Drainage Boring
About Drainage Boring
Drainage Systems
| Nowadays drainage systems are being installed around all new homes which are being built and have been for many years. Drainage systems are important throughout landscaping because poor drainage can cause many problems such as; excessive water on turf and grassed areas, plant disease and tree rooting. Drainage systems are made up of many components which include; drainage pipes, flow meters back flow prevention devices couplings and anchors. |

Boring
 |
Boring is described as digging deep holes using machinery. Boring is used when installing a drainage system to dig up deep and accurate holes to ensure the drainage system and its components are as deep as they need to be to catch the excessive water and flow it to designated areas. Boring is generally done using an auger machine. All boring holes which have been dug for drainage purposes can easily be filled in with dirt, cement or gravel. Other heavy machinery can also be used to construct a drainage boring hole but an auger is more accurate. Augers can be hired from local outlets but users must have qualifications to operate heavy machinery. |
Drainage Boring Methods
Most professionals when installing a landscape drainage system will accurately inspect the site where the drainage system will need to be installed. Pits need to be dug to ensure the workers reach the required depth and to reach the bed of water which is meant to be carried off into a required area. The most common method used for drainage boring is an auger machine.
| Augers are attached onto a tractor and they are able to dig deep thin, thick or large holes which are required for drainage system installation. The auger machine will be able to dig a boring pit which is equivalent to the size of drainage piping and components which are required to be installed into the bore pit. The auger will also help dig room for persons to work below the surface to ensure that all drainage system components are installed correctly. |

Horizontal Drainage Boring
 |
For properties which are steep and hilly it can be a tough assignment digging up holes to make room for a drainage system. These types of drainage systems should be installed with much care and accuracy. The perfect way to achieve a sturdy and well dug hole for steep and hilly land is horizontal drainage boring. Horizontal drainage boring again is done using an auger machine to achieve accurate and precise dug up holes ready for drainage installation augers make drainage boring simple and easy especially on steep properties because they are heavy machinery and are very mobile. |
Drainage Boring Pits
| Once a bore pit has been dug the site is ready for drainage installation. Drainage boring pits make it easy for all those involved in the installation process to actually install the drainage system with professionalism and perfection. Drainage boring pits provide internal access under ground to give the workers great opportunity to install the system correctly. Drainage boring pits are large enough for 2 to 4 people to work in comfortably to achieve the best and accurate installation method possible. Drainage boring pits are easily filled in once installation is complete. |
