What makes this so special is using any other drilling techniques this hole should have yield a little over 9 yards of spoils instead of the 10 cubic feet or so that is around the hole in the photo beside me.

Well yes, I did notice that. Did you guys sprinkle Magic Dust over the area to make the excess disappear?

Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"?

The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

I sense neither of us is quite on track here. I'm sure Todd will provide a logical answer...

we just did a grading job at g donaldson in cumberland. they have several drills and pile drivers parked in the yard. some are smaller than the one in your pic but theres 2 very large drills parked there also. i was looking at them and wondered if these machines are built from the ground up as a drill?or are they built using current excavators as a base machine?

I sense neither of us is quite on track here. I'm sure Todd will provide a logical answer... We use a displacement auger of our own patented design. All of the spoils are shoved latterly to tighten up the surrounding ground and you have the added benefit of only having spoils for the first 3’ of hole or so to deal with. It is very handy on hazmat sites where you don’t want any hazardous spoils to deal with. Also it is the only EPA approved deep foundation method as if we drill through a lower barrier (a layer of peat in New Jersey for example) we grout the hole up as we withdraw the tooling.

It depends on the make and model, some are built from the ground up as a drill, some are built off of duty cycle cranes and some are built off of a heavily modified excavator. The ones built off of excavators normally only use a reinforced house structure from an excavator as the undercarriage is too weak to handle the machine. For instance an IMT drill I used to run a lot was built off of a modified and beefed up Cat 375. The drill in the photo is built off of a Sennobogen crane. Bauer for example used to build their machines off of O&K machines and Liebherr machines as an option. Then they replaced O&K with Caterpillar for the smaller machines which did not last long. Then Sennobogen came along which is what the mid size machines are built off of with the larger ones using a Liebherr carrier and the smaller ones being all Bauer.
