Ground Anchors below ground water table
Ground Anchors below ground water table
(OP)
Hi!
does anybody knows how to drill a ground anchor into a soil, below the water level? I'm just talking about the unbounded lenght of the anchor, since the anchor bound will be installed in stiff clay.
Thanks in advance,

Generally when drilling you are looking for the cuttings to return out the hole. Drilling with water, the water is collected, desanded (somewhat) and reused for drilling. With air, which Ihave only had on a couple of projects, is messy and can shoot stuff around. I don't know whayt they use to control it, but I would expect a shroud of some sort.
Once you stop drilling, unless you are in a significant artesian condition, the water table should stablilize at its original level.
I hope somewhere in there is the answer to your question

If drilling below the water table, you should flush drill cuttings from the hole with water to keep a positive water pressure head and to prevent soil from being washed up into the casing pipe. If not drilling below the water table, you can flush the drill cuttings either with air or water.
