Significan

30、ce and Use4.1 Hollow-stem auger drilling may be used in support ofgeoenvironmental exploration (Practice D 3550, Test MethodD 4428/D 4428M) and for installation of subsurface water-quality monitoring devices in unconsolidated materials.Hollow-stem auger drilling may be selected over other meth-ods b

31、ased on the advantages over other methods. Theseadvantages include: the ability to drill without the addition ofdrilling fluid(s) to the subsurface, and hole stability forsampling purposes (see Test Methods D 1586, D 1587, D 2487,and D 2488) and monitor-well construction in unconsolidatedto poorly i

32、ndurated materials. This drilling method is generallyrestricted to the drilling of shallow, unconsolidated materials orsofter rocks. The hollow-stem drilling method is a favorablemethod to be used for obtaining cores and samples and for theinstallation of monitoring devices in many, but not all geol

33、ogicenvironments.NOTE 2In many geologic environments the hollow-stem auger drill-ing method can be used for drilling, sampling, and monitoring-deviceinstallations without the addition of fluids to the borehole. However, incases where heaving water-bearing sands or silts are encountered, theaddition

34、of water or drilling mud to the hollow-auger column may becomenecessary to inhibit the piping of these fluid-like materials into the augers.These drilling conditions, if encountered, should be documented.4.1.1 The application of hollow-stem augers to geoenviron-mental exploration may involve ground

35、water and soil sam-pling, in-situ or pore-fluid testing, or utilization of the hollow-auger column as a casing for subsequent drilling activities inunconsolidated or consolidated materials (Test MethodD2113).D 5784 95 (2006)2NOTE 3The user may install a monitoring device within the sameauger borehol

36、e wherein sampling or in-situ or pore-fluid testing wasperformed.4.1.2 The hollow-stem auger column may be used as atemporary casing for installation of a subsurface water-qualitymonitoring device. The monitoring device is usually installedas the hollow-auger column is removed from the borehole.4.2

37、The subsurface water-quality monitoring devices thatare addressed in this guide consist generally of a screened orporous intake device and riser pipe(s) that are usually installedwith a filter pack to enhance the longevity of the intake unit,and with isolation seals and low-permeability backfill to

38、deterthe movement of fluids or infiltration of surface water betweenhydrologic units penetrated by the borehole (see PracticeD 5092). Inasmuch as a piezometer is primarily a device usedfor measuring subsurface hydraulic heads, the conversion of apiezometer to a water-quality monitoring device should

39、 bemade only after consideration of the overall quality andintegrity of the installation, to include the quality of materialsthat will contact sampled water or gas.NOTE 4Both water-quality monitoring devices and piezometersshould have adequate casing seals, annular isolation seals, and backfills tod

40、eter the movement of fluids between hydrologic units.5. Apparatus5.1 Each auger section of the hollow-stem auger-columnassembly consists of a cylindrical tube with continuous helicalflighting rigidly attached to the outer surface of the tube (seeFig. 1). The hollow-auger section has a coupling at ea

41、ch endfor attachment of a hollow-auger head to the bottom end of thelead auger section and for attachment of additional augersections at the top end to make up the articulated hollow-stemauger column.NOTE 5The inside diameter of the hollow-stem auger column isusually selected to provide an opening l

42、arge enough for insertion ofmonitoring-device components such as the screened intake and filter packand installation devices such as a tremie pipe. When media sampling isrequired, the optimum opening should permit easy insertion and retractionof a sampler or core barrel. When a monitoring device is

43、installed, theannular opening should provide easy insertion of a pipe with an insidediameter large enough for placing completion materials adjacent to theriser.5.1.1 Hollow-Auger Head, attached to the lead auger of thehollow-auger column and usually contains replaceable,abrasion-resistant cutters or

44、 teeth (see Fig. 1). As the hollow-auger head is rotated, it cuts and directs the cuttings to theauger flights which convey the cuttings to the surface.5.1.2 Auger-Drive Assembly, attaches to the uppermosthollow-auger section and transfers rotary power and axial forcefrom the drill rig to the auger-

45、column assembly.5.1.3 Pilot Assembly, may consist of: (1) an auger headaperture-plugging device with or without a center cutting head,or (2) a sampling device that is used to sample simultaneouslywith advancement of the auger column.5.1.4 Auxiliary Components of a Hollow-Auger DrillingSystem, consis

46、t of various devices such as auger-connectorwrenches, auger forks, hoisting hooks, and fluid-injectionswivels or adapters.5.2 Drill Rig, used to rotate and advance the auger column.The drill rig should be capable of applying the rated power ata rotary velocity of 50 to 100 r/min. The drill rig shoul

47、d havea feed stroke of at least the effective length of the augersections plus the effective length of the auger couplings plusabout 100 mm (4 in.).6. Drilling Procedures6.1 As a prelude to and throughout the drilling processstabilize the drill rig and raise the drill-rig mast. Attach aninitial asse

48、mbly of hollow-auger components (see Fig. 1)totherotary drive of the drill rig.NOTE 6The drill rig, drilling and sampling tools, the rotary gear orchain case, the spindle, and all components of the rotary drive above theauger column should be cleaned and decontaminated prior to drillingaccording to

49、Practice D 5088. All lubricated rotary gear or chain casesshould be monitored for leaks during drilling. Any lubricants used shouldbe documented. Lubricants with organic or metallic constituents that couldbe interpreted as contaminants if detected in a soil or water sample shouldnot be used on auger couplings. Any instances of possible contaminationshould be documented.6.2 Push the auger-column assembly below the groundsurface and initiate rotation at a low velocity.NOTE 7If surface contamination is suspected, special drilling proce-dures may be required
