The IMKO auger equipment consists of: access tube support pillar with three soil anchors, ram-
ming head with clamp device, screw auger with handle, clamp device for the rubber bung, and
an internal steel guide/protection tube. Deliverable is a small version without soil anchors for
setting of glass fibre tubes with 1m length.
A steel cutting shoe is glued into the access tube. The screw auger, that moves easily within the
guide tube is used to drill out soil to about 0,1m below the cutting shoe. Depending on soil
homogeneity, the tube can be hammered 5..10cm into the soil. This cycle is repeated until the
tube is fully installed. The internal protection tube is then removed and the access tube can be
sealed by a rubber bung.
