Soil Sampling

CPTWest’s soil sampler is built for retrieval of minimally disturbed soil samples. The sample barrel with retractable tip is pushed to the desired depth. A lanyard lowered through the push rods then retracts the tip back into the housing. With the tip retracted, the lanyard is removed back to the surface and the Soil Sampler is ready for sampling. Advancing the sampler collects the soil in split sleeves (or there is an option to collect the sample in a plastic tube).

The sampler and rod string are then retracted, bringing the sample safely to the surface. The sample can be removed from the splits and bagged, or the sample tube can be capped for moisture preservation to be later analysed at a laboratory. The Soil Sampler is easily disassembled for cleaning or decontamination between samples if required. The Soil Sampler includes a core catcher designed to retain loose soils that tend to flow out of standard samplers.
