Mobile Marine Barge Uses

Auger Attachment for Marine Drilling

When marine and shoreline construction projects require precise, controlled drilling, the Auger Attachment is your go-to solution. Designed to operate from the deck of the Work Marine Mobile Marine Barge, this high-torque tool brings serious boring power to hard-to-reach environments — allowing your crew to drill through rock, sediment, concrete, or dense clay with ease, accuracy, and control.

Whether you’re creating bore holes for utility installations, pile foundations, geotechnical surveys, or environmental remediation, the auger turns your floating platform into a mobile drilling solution that’s ready for any terrain — above or below the surface.

Powerful Precision, Delivered Over Water

Traditional auger setups require land-based rigs, access roads, and heavy equipment. With the Work Marine Auger Attachment, you can eliminate all of that by bringing the auger directly to the jobsite via water — no extra platforms, no shoreline disturbance, and no access restrictions.

Key Features:

  • Heavy-duty hydraulic drive system powered by the barge’s onboard PTO
  • High-torque rotation for tough material penetration
  • Compatible with multiple bit sizes and types (earth, rock, concrete, mixed)
  • Mounted to the crane system for vertical or angled boring
  • Belly-box remote operation for real-time control
  • Quick Connect installation for rapid change-outs and multi-tool workflows

With this attachment, the barge becomes a floating drill rig that can reach over seawalls, docks, or submerged areas where land-based systems can’t operate.

The Auger Attachment is purpose-built for the marine environment and excels in:

  • Rock drilling – Pre-boring for pile installations in dense or rocky conditions
  • Utility conduit preparation – Creating channels for pipelines, fiber optics, or pump lines
  • Geotechnical investigations – Sampling soil and sediment for structural or environmental studies
  • Dock or pier foundation prep – Clearing space or drilling anchor points
  • Environmental remediation – Penetrating sediment to inject materials or remove contaminants
  • Drilling through riprap or concrete – In demo, repair, or stabilization jobs

By combining rotational torque with hydraulic control, the auger allows your crew to achieve bore depths and diameters that match the demands of your specific marine project.

With the Mobile Marine Barge, the auger can be transported, launched, and operated in locations with no land-based access. The system can be launched from a standard boat ramp and maneuvered into place without tugs or secondary equipment.

That makes it ideal for:

  • Narrow canals
  • Remote shorelines
  • Utility crossings
  • Urban waterfronts
  • Shallow or environmentally sensitive zones

The auger eliminates the need for temporary roads, bridges, or barges — all while maintaining full functionality from the water.

Built to Drill. Backed by Engineering.

The Auger Attachment, like all Work Marine tools, is fabricated in our 180,000 sq ft U.S.-based facility using field-tested designs and premium materials. Our manufacturing standards include:

  • ISO 9001 certification for quality assurance
  • Compliance with ASME, AWS, and AISC protocols
  • Hydraulic systems engineered for continuous operation
  • Marine-grade corrosion protection for salt and freshwater environments

Our in-house engineers oversee every build, ensuring that your auger is ready to perform in the most demanding conditions.

Drill Deeper. Move Smarter. Get It Done.

Whether you’re anchoring a structure, sampling for analysis, or boring through bedrock, the Work Marine Auger Attachment brings the depth, torque, and adaptability your project requires — with none of the site access limitations of traditional rigs.
