Window Sampling

For difficult-to-access sites, Window Sampling offers a portable site investigation solution, enabling access to areas a traditional drill rig cannot reach. At our Wellington and Christchurch Offices we have two Window Sampling Kits, allowing us to test deeper than hand augers can into the Wellington Greywacke and through gravelly material which is present in the region. The Window Sampling Kit that we have can reach depths of up to 6-8 meters.

  • A petrol breaker drives the steel gouges into the soils and extracted using a two person extraction setup.
  • Ideal usage for areas that have restricted access and limited space.
  • Excellent for soil and gravel layers.
  • All extracted material is logged to NZGS Standard and shear vane and scala readings are also captured.
