Abrégé

The invention relates to a method for drilling into the ground, which includes the following step: digging a longitudinal hole (6) in the ground (8), simultaneously lining the hole (6) using a tube (14) extending substantially over an entire longitudinal length of the hole (6). The tube includes an inner tube (16) and an outer tubular sheath (18) inserted between the inner tube (16) and a wall of the hole (6), the method including, after the step of digging the hole (6), a raising step during which the inner tube (16) is removed from the hole (6), the outer sheath (18) remaining in place inside the hole (6).

The invention relates to an inflatable sleeve (13) including: a mandrel (15) extending in a longitudinal direction; an inflatable casing (17) placed around the mandrel (15); and a tubular sheath (19) slid onto the casing (17). The tubular sheath (19) has a central section (27) and first and second longitudinal ends (23, 25) that are located on either side of the central section (27), the first and/or second ends (23, 25) of the tubular sheath (19) being attached to the mandrel (15), and the tubular sheath (19) being extendable from a rest state to an expanded state. The tubular sheath (19) has a predetermined capacity for circumferential elongation from the rest state of the tubular sheath (19); and the first and/or second ends (23, 25) of the tubular sheath (19) have a capacity for longitudinally elongating by between 105% and 250% from the rest state of the tubular sheath (19), said capacity being selected such as to limit the diametric expansion of the first and/or second ends (23, 25) of the tubular sheath (19) and give the shape thereof to said first and/or second ends (23, 25).
