Deep excavation with buried steel rebar rods and box forms to be filled with reinforced concrete were required to support a large house being built on sandy soil on a barrier island along the Gulf of Mexico at Sarasota, Florida, USA. Initially an auger was used to drill dozens of large holes to a depth of 65 feet (20 meters) to reach bedrock that would support steel-reinforced poured concrete pilings that refilled those holes.
