The Window Sampler uses a method known as "Percussion Coring" to drive sample tubes into the ground up to a depth of 10m. The sample tubes are driven using a hydraulic breaker. A hydraulic ram is then used to extract the sample for analysis.


The term "Window Sampler" refers to an open section of the coring tube. This feature allows the user to view the sample in an undisturbed condition. This allows for the preservation of bedding contacts and unconformities, slip surfaces, and laminations, which can be important considerations when performing a geotechnical investigation.

Our top package is a combination of Nordmeyer percussion components and locally sourced hydraulic rams and breakers. We also offer an entry level package based on manually operated equipment, but we can quote kit sets on any combinations based on your needs.
