Augers; and several shell type augers, SOS - Spiral Tipped
Auger; a SON - Double Cutter Auger; a SOO - Single
Cutter Auger; and a Jarret Style Auger. Standard sizes are 50mm
(2"), 62mm, 75mm & 100mm (4") and some others made-to-order are
available.

We have several new auger styles and new
samplers and they are shown under New Products because it keeps the website
similar to our printed catalogue. These include: SOC - sticky wet clay
auger; SOD - hard dry soil auger; SPLIT-TUBE Sampler - for
undisturbed soil samples; UWS Sampler - for undisturbed wet
sediment samples

BELOW THE WATER TABLE - Click for Pictures and Technical Information
For sampling below
the water table it requires specialised equipment to hold the fluid samples
and to prevent the hole collapsing. One-off samples can be achieved using one
of the special samplers but for continuous sampling the hole will need Casing (a liner to prevent the hole collapsing) and if the material is fluid, a Sludger/Baler is required.

HYDRAULIC DRIVE UNITS - Click
for Pictures and Technical Information
The Drillmite is a portable
power drive unit for the augers and replaces the manually turned T-handle. It
is compatible with all our equipment and can be adapted to suit most other
styles of equipment connections.
The Sandrill is a portable hydraulic unit that is used to sample sand
or very sandy soils to depths up to 100 metres. It is designed to be hand
carried for use on remote or difficult to access sites and is easy to setup
and use by local unskilled labour. It is also ideal for environmentally
sensitive sites because it does not require access roads, water
supply/disposal and has a small footprint and very low noise levels.

PRODUCT
CODES
For example: SA5010C/HD
SA = Sand Auger
50 = 50mm diameter
10 = 1.0 metre long.
C = Coarse Thread
/HD = Heavy Duty (made from thicker steel)
Therefore a EXT4015AC = Extention rod, 40mm diameter, 1.5 metres long, Aluminium construction, Coarse Thread.
