Soil Sampler
Soil Sampler
(OP)
My firm conducts site classifications works for proposed buildings. The aim generally being to establish a basic level of soil composition and subjective soil strength. We currently do this by obtaining soil samples using a motorised auger. The problem with this is that it does not obtain an "undisturbed" sample for assessment, hence soil strength is only a conservative knowledge based guess.
I have been looking for a relatively portable core sampler as a means of obtaining a "better" quality sample and before anyone suggests it we have client and public authority needs that prevent the use of a backhoe to excavate a hole.
Can anyone help me with a company that may supply or use a portable core sampler?

We have found what we require via an mining equipment supplier. Small portable ute mounted rig with a 4 metre depth capability and a split tube. Not exactly 100% suited to the job but it will suffice to satisfy the relevant Australian Standard and Building Code.
