Horizontal Drilling
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rq_Q06sFV7U - just rams one short section after another. This example is 24' long ram. Set is againsts wider area of dirt - no stabilization needed.
- A Video by the YouTube Channel "Practical Engineering" Titled "How To Install a Pipeline Under a Railroad" ( ~15 Minute Watch )
- 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!
