WHERE AUGERING GOES WRONG.

WRONG DIAMETER FOR THE LOAD

Under-specifying hole size and depth for the structural load creates compliance issues and potential structural failure.

HITTING SERVICES

Drilling without locating underground services first creates safety risks and costly repair bills.

POOR ALIGNMENT

Out-of-plumb piles and posts cause structural issues and cosmetic problems that are expensive to fix after concrete is poured.

The Peard Approach

HOW WE DO AUGERING.

01

DIAMETER AND DEPTH SPECIFIED FROM PLANS

We work from your engineering drawings or coordinate with your engineer to confirm hole specifications before drilling.

02

SERVICES LOCATED BEFORE DRILLING

Underground service location is completed before drilling in any location where services may be present. Non-negotiable.

03

GUIDED DRILLING SYSTEMS

Our guided drilling systems ensure plumb alignment on every hole — critical for structural piles and posts.

04

SPOIL MANAGEMENT

Spoil removed cleanly from every hole. Site left tidy and ready for your next trade.

As a project manager from small to large scale civil construction, I can highly recommend Peard Excavation. Holly & Toby are great to deal with from the tendering stage of a project right through to the site works with their highly skilled team. Their out of the box thinking and working hard with us to get the job complete is exactly what anyone wants from an excavation company.

I have worked with Toby Peard for over 8 years on new builds and renovations in the wider Bay of Plenty area. He is extremely experienced and knows what he is doing. Get him involved in your next build from day 1 — you won't regret it.
