**This was a bit more of an intense setup, but it was essentially a larger [[Earth Auger]] on it's side, but they also had additional auger sections they could add in similar to drill pipe, and it also has that ram for the casing. A direct modification of an Earth Auger and some hacked together [[Gridbeam]] / Hydraulic Cylinders and all that would be neat to see. WAY easier said than done, and that video was some major operation going under a railroad by another road with a pile of unknown stuff buried down there, and they used a [[Trench Box]], but for stuff like that driveway it could probably be done! | **This was a bit more of an intense setup, but it was essentially a larger [[Earth Auger]] on it's side, but they also had additional auger sections they could add in similar to drill pipe, and it also has that ram for the casing.
