Abstract

Various methods of making a reinforced structure in the ground using a boring tool are provided. One of the methods includes providing a boring tool having a boring tube that can vibrate. The method also includes making a borehole in the ground using the boring tool while causing the boring tube to vibrate. Additionally, the method includes, when the boring tube has reached a predetermined depth, injecting a sealing grout into the boring tube that embeds the boring tube in the sealing grout. Further, the method includes detaching the boring tube from the boring tool, thereby providing a structure reinforced by the boring tube.
