Excavation equipment with dual-auger screw restraint system to prevent drilling deviation

This technology features an excavation unit equipped with a hollow first auger screw and a second auger screw inserted into its core. By using a restraint system to secure the first auger screw—already embedded in the ground—to the mobile base, the equipment prevents movement during the drilling process of the second auger screw.

While backhoe-mounted drilling screws offer excellent versatility and site accessibility, they often suffer from the front wheels lifting due to ground reaction forces during excavation. This instability causes the drilling direction to deviate, compromising the quality of pile foundations or soil nailing. Furthermore, as reaction forces increase with drilling depth, there are significant limitations to how deep these systems can operate.

This technology utilizes a pair of parallel bars that grip both sides of the screw between two restraint nuts threaded onto the outer surface of the first auger screw. These bars are secured to the mobile base via an extension bar and connecting member, allowing the first auger screw embedded in the ground to absorb the ground reaction force. As a result, the equipment maintains its drilling trajectory even at great depths while remaining mobile. Applicable to pre-drilled pile foundation construction, soil-cement grouting in soft ground, and soil nailing for slope stabilization, this system enables precise, deep-depth excavation using compact mobile equipment.

Key Features:
  • A mobile base that travels over the ground and a working unit installed on the base for selectively mounting auger screws
  • A dual-auger screw consisting of a hollow first auger screw and a second auger screw capable of being inserted into the hollow core of the first
  • A restraint system that restricts relative movement between the embedded first auger screw and the mobile base to prevent displacement caused by ground reaction forces during the drilling of the second auger screw
  • Two restraint nuts threaded onto the outer surface of the first auger screw, a pair of parallel bars contacting both sides of the screw between the nuts, an extension bar, and a connecting member
