Soil and Water
Eijkelkamp soil and water research equipment supplied in the UK — hand and gouge augers, soil samplers, monitoring well components, groundwater pumps and liquid samplers, water level loggers, sensors and probes, field meters and laboratory apparatus. Genuine Eijkelkamp equipment from the UK joint venture between Royal Eijkelkamp and Fraste.
Soil investigation and sampling
- Hand Augers — the complete hand augering system: Edelman heads for clay, sand and coarse sand, riverside, stony soil, spiral, hogweed and root augers, handles, rods, sets and accessories.
- Gouge Augers — Pürckhauer and one, two and multi-piece gouge sets for soft and hard soils, mineral gouges and stepwise sampling sets, for near-undisturbed profile description.
- Soil Samplers — sampling rings and ring kits, liner samplers, split tube and profile samplers, coring apparatus, percussion drilling sets and peat samplers.
- Soil — field measurement and description: penetrologgers and penetrometers, vane testers, infiltrometers, permeameters, tensiometers, colour book, sand ruler and sieves.
- Soil Physical Research — laboratory apparatus for pF determination, shear and compression testing, permeability, particle size analysis and calcimetry.
Groundwater monitoring
- Monitoring Wells — HDPE, PVC and pre-packed filter pipe, plain pipe, bentonite plugs and pellets, sand catchers, caps, casing and lockable covers.
- Water Level Loggers — the Diver range including TD, Micro, Cera, CTD and Baro Divers, plus the suspension and anti-fouling hardware they need.
- Data Read-Out Units — Diver read-out units, Diver-Mate, communication cables and the Prime PRO300 for downloading in the field.
- Data Communication — GDT Prime PRO telemetry, GDT Multiple, antennas and the ROAK data viewer for getting data back without a site visit.
- Groundwater Pumps — submersible, peristaltic, foot valve and engine driven pumps for purging and sampling, with flow through cells and in-line filtration.
- Liquid Samplers — bailers, Van Dorn and Kemmerer samplers, watertrap, liquid layer samplers and Rhizon pore water samplers.
Water quality and surface water
- Water — pH, EC, oxygen and turbidity meters, reflectometers, current meters and water level and interface meters.
- Scuba Multiparameter Probes — the Scuba and Easy Scuba range for continuous multiparameter water quality monitoring.
- Scuba Accessories — cables, adaptors, softcase, flow through cell and copper anti-fouling kit.
- Sensors and Probes — HydraProbe soil sensors, Saturina, HydraGo, lysimeters and RBC flumes.
- Sludge Samplers — Van Veen and Ekman grabs, free fall and Beeker corers, bed load transportmeter, Secchi disc and sediment level staves.
Supporting equipment
- General Lab Equipment — electronic balances and soil stirrers.
- Consumables — PE and silicone tube, ball valves and in-line water filters.
How the range fits together
Most programmes draw from several of these sections at once. A typical groundwater investigation uses augers to get to depth, monitoring well components to install and protect the well, a pump to purge and sample it, a level logger to record between visits and a read-out unit or telemetry to retrieve the data. A soil survey might use gouge augers to read the profile, sampling rings to recover undisturbed material, field meters to describe it on site and laboratory apparatus to test it afterwards.
That is why it is worth talking through the whole programme rather than ordering item by item. Decisions made early — well diameter, sensor type, logger deployment method — constrain what is possible later, and they are expensive to revisit once boreholes are installed.
Buying, hiring and support
Fast-moving items are available for direct ordering through the online shop. Specialist and laboratory equipment is quoted. We also offer soil and water equipment rental for short projects and occasional-use instruments, and UK-based service and support. For mechanised drilling see Drilling Rigs.
