Unobtrusive hand tools are usually all that are required to drill a narrow (¾ inch diameter) hole three feet into the subsurface. The installation hole usually does not require any casing. Slide hammers equipped with tile probes, and rotary hammer drills equipped with carbide tipped drill bits will suffice for most GORETM Module installations. These tools can be purchased from a variety of field equipment vendors or rented from industrial tool rental centers. “Geo-Probe” type tools can be used to create a hole for deeper installations.
