Window Sampling Equipment

November 12, 2010

Window sampling fills the gap between hand augers and the bigger track or vehicle mounted drilling rigs. The equipment is used for soil investigation and research to depths up to 8 metres and in sites with restricted access, where there is the potential for contaminated samples or for exploration of base metals and mineral deposits, like gold and other precious metals. Therefore this equipment needs to be light, so can be carried to a location, yet strong with excellent penetration speeds.  Window Sampling Equipment does not replace the bigger rigs but is used when a location does not allow their use.

Our percussion window sampling system is a powerful, non destructive, low disturbance site investigation tool. It uses laser cut, high entry efficiency samplers in a, robust, no maintenance, left hand thread RD32 connection so all samples are captured in an undisturbed way for an immediate on-site profile evaluation.

More than 25 years of research and development have gone into making our window sampling equipment – the best available. We have supplied these sets around the world, providing on-site training, product support and drilling expertise to organisations involved in environmental and academic research, agricultural soil investigations, mineral exploration, archeology and subsidence analysis.
