Dig-It Inc. delivers dependable specialty casing installation for challenging ground. In loose, saturated, or shifting soils—including sand, swamp, and beach environments—we install steel casing using vibratory hammers and perform slurry drilling to keep boreholes open, stable, and on schedule.
These methods complement our foundation drilling and drilled shafts service, helping you meet design requirements and mitigate risk from start to finish.
If your project demands reliable control in difficult conditions, our team can recommend the right mix of vibratory casing installation and slurry drilling based on your plans and site conditions.
Vibratory casing and slurry drilling are most valuable when ground conditions won’t reliably
stand open. Typical triggers include:
In these scenarios, installing a steel vibratory casing and/or drilling with a controlled drill slurry helps keep the excavation intact so you can complete the foundation safely and efficiently.
We tailor our plan to your drawings, geotechnical data, and schedule requirements. Our goal is a
predictable, constructible workflow that integrates with your broader scope.
Using vibratory casings allows the crew to rapidly establish a stable, supported bore in ground that would otherwise slough or cave.
When soils are especially loose or saturated, we perform slurry drilling to stabilize the borehole. The drill slurry supports excavation walls during drilling and helps control inflows so the bore maintains shape and integrity for downstream foundation operations.
These methods integrate seamlessly with our low-headroom drilling capabilities and our broader foundation drilling and drilled shafts services.
Founded in 1994 and serving clients across the Midwest, Dig-It focuses on doing the fundamentals well: clear planning, disciplined execution, and proactive communication.

Vibratory casing installation uses a vibratory hammer to advance steel casing so the bore remains
supported while drilling proceeds.
Loose sands and saturated soils can ravel or cave. Vibratory casings provide immediate support
so the excavation holds its shape.
Slurry drilling stabilizes boreholes by supporting excavation walls and limiting soil movement
and water inflow.
Utility foundations and commercial drilled shafts, including transmission lines, substations,
and cell-tower foundations.
Yes. Dig-It provides both vibratory casing installation and slurry drilling based on site
conditions and specifications.
