What is a GEOPROBE®?

Geoprobe® is a brand name of hydraulically powered percussion direct push sampling designed specifically for use in the environmental industry.

Soil probing techniques can be thought of as a subcategory of what are commonly referred to as “Direct Push” techniques.  Direct push refers to tools, sensors, and sampling equipment that are inserted into the ground without drilling a hole to make a path for the rod.

A Geoprobe® relies on the static weight of the vehicle combined with percussion as the energy for the advancement of the tool string.  This allows for the collection of soil samples, water samples, and small wells.

The Geoprobe® Benefits . . .

The benefits of Geoprobe® sampling are clear as follows:

  • No cuttings produced during the sampling process
  • Probing and sampling is faster than drilling, allowing more sample locations a day
  • Mobilization is more economical than a drill rig for those tight budgets

Manual Sampling

Manual Sampling with Geoprobe® tools gives you an option when you have very limited access or are inaccessible by vehicles.  By using an electric jack hammer or hand weight, either Geoprobe® rods or convention split spoons can be advanced to obtain the samples you need.
