Boring Under Concrete

The line goes under the retaining wall that divides the lower west side of the yard from the upper east side then on to the house.

Boring under concrete.

One such method that requires little in the way of special equipment is using. Boring underground has never been faster less expensive and more predictable. Bring the trench that you are digging up to the obstacle. Its path takes it under a 12 foot wide concrete patio slab to a small flowerbed near the door where it ties in to the copper pipes that go under the house slab.

Will digging under a concrete walkway weaken the walkway. Use a 16 pound sledge hammer to impact the sidewalk sleever under the sidewalk. Check out this slightly dated video showing exactly how easy the borit tool is to use. Horizontal boring or horizontal drilling if you are confronted with a sidewalk a 3 to 6 foot obstacle you can generally manually horizontal bore under the sidewalk using a garden hose and a piece of 1 2 inch steel pipe.

This will allow the tool to hold itself off the ground making it easier to install and also easier to remove the tool after installation. A customer wants to install a intercom on a concrete column in middle of a concrete yard. Someone proposed drilling down through the concrete and then dig over from the side to meet up with the hole to pull the wires conduit through. While straddling the trench.

Place the sidewalk sleever just under the concrete and tap in a few inches. The dry boring kit requires a 6 foot long trench 6 inches below the bottom of the concrete slab. When using the wet auger kit dig a trench 15 feet long. The depth of the trench is important as a deeper trench will prevent the concrete from cracking while boring.

Just imagine the labor savings. The borit is capable of boring more than 60 feet under any concrete or asphalt including sidewalks driveways golf cart paths patios and even streets.
