Rock Auger Drilling Geelong

Much of the ground around Geelong, the Golden Plains and out towards Colac sits on basalt — and a standard auger simply spins on top of it. Just Walls runs dedicated rock augers with hardened teeth that cut through rock and compacted material, so your footings, piers and post holes go to their designed depth instead of stopping where the ground gets hard.

When You Need a Rock Auger

• Bored piers and footings on rocky building sites
• Retaining wall post holes in hard or shaley ground
• Fence and structural post holes through surface rock
• Foundation holes where a site investigation shows rock

Drill to Depth, First Visit

There is nothing more frustrating on a build than an auger contractor who arrives, hits rock and leaves. We carry both standard and rock augers on the truck, matched to excavators from 2 to 14 tonne, so we can step up through attachments on the spot. If the ground needs more than an auger, we can also bring rock breaking equipment to the job.

Working With Your Engineer

Bored piers in rock are usually specified by an engineer — diameter, depth and founding material. We drill to those specs and keep the holes clean and ready for inspection, steel and pour, coordinating with your builder or concreter so nothing sits open longer than it needs to.
