Dynamic windowless sampling rigs are a useful tool for quick, shallow, unconsolidated ground investigations. Operating on small track bases, these rigs can generally access any site. The rigs are diesel powered, but if required, we have the capability to allow for an electrical-powered rig.
Drilling depths for this machine vary depending on geology but is generally used for overburden sampling of unconsolidated material to depths of 6m. With the correct geology, it can achieve greater depths.
To ensure full health and safety compliance, all locations will be subject to an initial CAT and Genny survey as standard prior to drilling. In addition, a 1.2m hand dug pit will be excavated to establish service clearance.
This rig is capable of Standard Penetration Tests – SPT and SPT(C) and Dynamic Probing (DP) to current British Standards and EC7. This allows for the easy installation of standpipes, gas / water monitoring tubes or other instrumentation, within the restrictions of the borehole diameter.
