Online Shop
The Eijkelkamp Fraste UK online shop stocks the soil and water sampling equipment our customers reorder most often — hand augers, monitoring well components, water level meters, sampling rings, tubing and consumables. Everything listed here is genuine Eijkelkamp equipment supplied direct from our UK operation, so you can restock a site kit or replace a worn part without waiting on a quote.
What you can buy online
The shop is organised around the jobs our customers actually do — boring a hole, installing and maintaining a monitoring well, taking a sample and reading a level. Each section below holds the equipment and the consumables that go with it.
- Soil Augers — the full hand auger range, including Edelman augers matched to clay, sand and coarse sand, gouge augers, riverside and stony-soil heads, plus handles, extension rods, accessories and complete sets.
- Soil Sampling — sample rings and ring holders, stainless steel sample tubes, split tube samplers, coring apparatus, hammering heads, the Munsell-style soil colour book, sand ruler, pocket penetrometer and pocket vane tester.
- Monitoring Wells — HDPE plain and filter pipe with screw thread connections, pre-packed filter pipe, bentonite plugs and collars, sand catchers, top and bottom caps, protective casing, lockable well covers and liquid tight floor covers.
- Water Level Meters — frame-mounted and handheld water level meters, the compact Mini meter with start/stop system, and a 30 m interface meter for detecting product on water.
- Water Sampling — submersible pumps for purging and sampling, including the Gigant and a low cost pump set.
- Soil Moisture — Rhizon soil moisture samplers and sampling sets for extracting pore water with minimal disturbance, plus replacement syringes.
- Diver Accessories — the hardware that keeps a Diver logger safely suspended and retrievable: wire hangers, stainless steel wire clamps, steel cable, HMPE rope and copper shields.
- Sludge Sampling — the Van Veen grab for recovering bed sediment from open water.
- Tubing — PE and silicone tube and ball valves for sampling lines and pump connections.
- Tooling — Carbotec bits and core lifters for drilling work.
Restocking a site kit
Most of what sells here is a replacement rather than a first purchase. Auger blades dull, rods bend, sample rings get damaged, filter gauze clogs and tubing perishes. Rather than replacing a whole set, it is usually cheaper and faster to order the individual component — which is why heads, handles, rods and accessories are listed separately rather than only as kits.
If you are building a kit from scratch, start with the auger head matched to your dominant soil type, add a handle and enough extension rods for your target depth, then add the accessories that make the day easier: a coupling sleeve, an impact-absorbing hammer, a spatula and a carrying bag. The pre-matched hand auger sets do this for you if you would rather not specify it item by item.
Who buys from us
Ground investigation and geotechnical consultants, contaminated land specialists, environmental and ecological monitoring teams, agronomists and soil surveyors, water companies and drainage engineers, peatland and habitat restoration projects, universities and research groups, and archaeologists doing test pitting and deposit modelling. The common thread is needing reliable equipment quickly, from people who understand what it is for.
Beyond the shop
The online shop covers hand-operated and consumable equipment. For larger capital equipment we work by specification and quotation — see Drilling Rigs for conventional rotary, conventional foundation, sonic, CPT, mineral exploration and window sampling rigs, and Soil and Water for the wider instrumentation range including data loggers, read-out units, groundwater pumps and sensors. We also offer equipment rental and a UK-based service and support department.
