Augering Kits PR-A for Delta-T Profile Probes

Augering Kit features

The key components that are supplied with the kit are:

- A Stabilisation plate to keep the auger vertical.
Reading errors can arise from conical enlargement of the hole (funnelling) during augering, especially in the top 30cm. This results in poor contact between the surface of the access tube and the surrounding soil. The stabilisation plate minimises this effect.

- An Insertion rod to drive the access tube into an augered hole by applying force to the bottom of the tube (normally by hammering). This new technique reduces the flexing that can produce air gaps around the access tube and minimises soil displacement.

- A Finishing auger to expand augered pilot holes to the exact diameter required for an access tube. This specially designed adjustable finishing auger produces straight, smooth-sided holes in most soil types.

Extraction Kit

The optional PR-EXK1 is a heavy duty system for removing already installed access tubes from the ground.
The kit includes a cast iron jack, chains, jack foot and a tube clamp
