SOIL AUGERS - Click for Pictures and Technical Information

We have several different designs of augers for drilling and sampling soils and clays. These include: open Spiral Augers; and several shell type augers, SOD - 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.

SAND AUGERS - Click for Pictures and Technical Information

These come in one design (with some minor variations) for drilling or sampling sands. Standard sizes are 50mm (2"), 62mm, 75mm & 100mm (4") and some others made-to-order.

SPECIAL SAMPLERS - Click for Pictures and Technical Information

We have several special purpose samplers, made for specific soil conditions or for specific sampling requirements. These include: The Gouge Auger, the Piston Sampler, the Russian D-Sampler, the Push Tube Sampler and the Core Barrel sampler.

NEW PRODUCTS - Click to move to new page showing New Products

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.

EXTENSION RODS - Click for Pictures and Technical Information

The Extension Rods are available in steel or aluminium or stainless steel with either fine thread, coarse thread, notch coupling or hex coupling. Standard lengths are 1.0 metres (39") or 1.5 metres (4'11") or they can be made-to-order.

ACCESSORIES - Click for Pictures and Technical Information

Accessories is a broad term used to describe all the other bits & pieces available, including T-handles, Tommy Bars, Carry Bags, Tool Boxes, Chisels, Star Drills, etc.

PRODUCT CODES
For example: SA5010(F or C)
SA = Sand Auger
50 = 50mm diameter
10 = 1.0 metre long.
F = Fine thread
C = Coarse Thread
Therefore a EXT4015AF = Extention rod, 40mm diameter, 1.5 metres long, Aluminium construction, Fine Thread.
