Alignment system and method for creating holes for piles or other support members

摘要

An alignment system and method for aligning a hole-making device for forming a hole in the ground. In one example, the alignment system includes an alignment template selectively securable to the ground; and a centering plate positionable within the alignment template, the centering plate having a hole adapted to be positioned on a survey pin or nail or other mark. The alignment template is aligned relative to desired marked hole location, and the hole making device is aligned relative to the template, which thereby aligns the hole making device relative to the marked hole location.

1. An alignment system for aligning a hole-making device for forming a hole in the ground, comprising:
an alignment template selectively securable to the ground; and a centering plate positionable within the alignment template, the centering plate having a hole adapted to be positioned on a survey hub, and the hole of the centering plate having a width sized smaller than an end of the hole-making device, wherein the width of the hole of the centering plate is configured to prevent the hole-making device from forming a hole in the ground when disposed within the alignment template, and wherein the alignment template, without the alignment template, is configured to align the hole-making device for forming the hole in the ground.
