Split Spoon Sampling

Hollow stem auger drilling is a relatively inexpensive technique for a wide range of applications including: sampling, installation of monitoring wells and data collection instruments, and subsurface improvements.  We can go install borings to approximately 35 feet.

Split spoon sampling—also sometimes referred to as standard penetration testing or SPT—is a method of measuring the load-bearing capabilities of the subsurface. Split spoon sampling is the industry standard for geotechnical and infrastructure projects. It is used anytime construction or major structural modifications are being considered, as the data produced influences the design and ultimate safety of the general public.

Shelby Tubes

Shelby tube samplers are thin-walled, hollow steel tubes, which are driven into the ground to extract a relatively undisturbed soil sample for use in laboratory tests used to determine density, permeability, compressibility and strength.
