Window Sampling – Portable Site Investigation for Difficult Access Locations
For sites that are difficult to access, Window Sampling offers a portable and efficient site investigation solution, allowing us to reach areas that a traditional drill rig cannot. At GEOCIVIL, our Wellington and Christchurch offices are equipped with two Window Sampling Kits, enabling us to test deeper than hand augers, particularly in regions like Wellington Greywacke or areas with gravelly material.
Our Window Sampling Kit can reach depths of 6-8 meters, providing a versatile option for geotechnical testing in space-restricted environments.
Why Choose Window Sampling?
GEOCIVIL provides a wide range of testing services to support your project at every stage. Window Sampling is ideal for:
- Difficult-to-access areas: Our portable kit allows us to investigate sites where traditional drill rigs cannot operate, offering a flexible and efficient solution for tight or confined spaces.
- Deeper testing: Window Sampling enables us to go beyond the reach of hand augers, particularly useful in areas with gravel or rocky layers.
- Comprehensive material logging: All extracted material is logged to NZGS Standard, ensuring accuracy and consistency. Shear vane and scala readings are also captured to provide detailed insights into soil conditions.
Window Sampling Services and Benefits:
- A petrol breaker drives the steel gouges into the soil, and material is extracted using a two-person extraction setup.
- Perfect for restricted access areas: Our kit allows for testing in locations with limited space or difficult terrain.
- Effective for testing soil and gravel layers in a range of environments.
- Provides accurate data on soil conditions, logged and captured to industry standards.
