hand augering

English to French Science Petroleum Eng/Sci drilling procedures
• Drilling/hand augering of soil borings at 10 locations

Maybe "carottage manuel" but I am not sure you can use this phrase to talk about the first procedure when drilling a borehole

"soil borings" I take this as sampling soil for analysis/testing: either drilling them mechanically or by hand. 10 boreholes confirms that. Asker's "carrotage" is the normal translation IMO.
