Sand Augers

Sand Augers for Non-Cohesive Soils

Sand augers are designed for non-cohesive soils, featuring a closed-bit configuration with a restricted opening for manual borehole creation and efficient advancement through granular soil conditions. Across agricultural, geotechnical, environmental, and groundwater applications, they support the collection of disturbed soil samples.

For projects requiring discrete sampling, boreholes can be advanced to a target depth before core sampling tools are utilized to subsequently collect relatively undisturbed soil samples. Their closed-bit configuration with a restricted opening, where inner bit edges meet at the midpoint, supports steady progression while improving material retention in non-cohesive conditions.

In non-cohesive soils, greater depths can increase resistance during advancement and reduce productivity. For higher torque applications, reinforced sand augers incorporate gusset reinforcement at the rounded bail to increase structural strength and reduce the risk of twisting or bending.
