It is necessary on occasion to access remote locations where conventional window sample rigs would prove unsuccessful. To achieve this, we utilise our handheld window sample system.
Conventional or window type barrels are driven in using a handheld hydraulic breaker. Hydraulic rams are then used to remove the barrel, allowing the recovery of samples at shallow depths. Achievable drilling depths for this type of method vary greatly depending on the geology but it is generally used for overburden sampling of unconsolidated material, usually to depths of 2 to 3m. if required, these can be installed for shallow gas and groundwater monitoring.
