Dutch Augers

Dutch Augers for Heavily Rooted Soils

Dutch augers are designed for heavily rooted soils, featuring a specialized cutting design for manual borehole creation and efficient advancement through fibrous organic soil conditions. Across agricultural, geotechnical, environmental, and groundwater applications, they support the collection of disturbed soil samples.

For investigations involving discrete sampling, boreholes can be advanced to a target depth before core sampling tools are utilized to subsequently collect relatively undisturbed soil samples. Their specialized open-cutting design supports steady progression through fibrous organic conditions while facilitating effective material removal.

In heavily rooted soils, fibrous organic conditions can increase resistance and slow advancement, reducing efficiency. To manage these conditions, Dutch augers utilize sharp, specialized cutting edges with an open design to improve penetration and increase efficiency in the field.
