Precision Soil Sampling with Advanced Soil Core Samplers
Explore our complete suite of soil core samplers designed to optimize accuracy, reduce disturbance, and support high-quality subsurface analysis.
Precision Sampling Tools Backed by Engineering Excellence
Soil core samplers are critical tools in geotechnical engineering, environmental science, and construction for collecting undisturbed subsurface soil samples. They offer a precise method for extracting continuous cores that retain the stratification and structure of the ground, enabling reliable testing and analysis in laboratory or field settings. Designed for both shallow and deep soil investigations, these tools ensure sample integrity and minimize disturbance, making them indispensable in projects ranging from foundation design to contamination assessments.
At Soil Ground Testing, we bring together leading-edge design and field-tested performance, offering premium-grade core samplers and accessories. As a trusted B2B partner across North America, we help businesses improve project accuracy and operational efficiency. Our Los Angeles–based company is committed to providing reliable products backed by expert support, quality assurance, and ongoing innovation.

Hardware
Core Barrels
Heavy-duty tubes that maintain sample structure during extraction. Our Structural Testers ensure these barrels meet the durability demands of rigorous soil conditions.
Cutting Shoes
Attached to the barrel’s base to ease soil penetration. We use Coating & Material Thickness Gauges to verify optimal edge thickness for clean cuts and precise sampling.
Pistons and Rod Assemblies
Regulate sample length and support uniform collection. Our Motion & Position Sensors help monitor movement precision during core collection.
Hammer Drive Heads & Adaptors
Enable compatibility with mechanical and hydraulic rigs. Our Industrial & Asset Monitoring Sensors support performance tracking and maintenance of these components.
Protective End Caps & Containers
Safeguard cores during transport and storage. Our Zigbee Accessories integrate with smart monitoring tags to ensure secure handling and integrity during transit.
Coating & Material Thickness Gauges
Confirm barrel integrity prior to deployment. Our Wi-Fi HaLow End Devices offer wireless diagnostics to ensure structural quality pre-deployment.

Case Studies
U.S. Infrastructure Project
A large engineering firm in Texas deployed our piston-style soil core samplers during preconstruction analysis for a new interstate highway. The equipment ensured continuous, undisturbed samples from varying depths, which were essential for evaluating soil loadbearing capacity. RFID tagging improved traceability, while digital logs were integrated into their GIS platform. The project achieved 25% faster site analysis versus traditional sampling methods.
Canadian Mining Exploration
In Northern Ontario, a mineral exploration company used our heavy-duty soil core samplers to conduct subsurface environmental assessments prior to drilling. The samplers’ integrity under permafrost conditions and GPS tracking support proved critical for environmental compliance. This helped secure exploration permits ahead of schedule.
Urban Brownfield Redevelopment (USA)
In Chicago, a civil engineering consultancy relied on our integrated core sampler systems to assess a contaminated site slated for redevelopment. Coupled with moisture sensors and RFID-enabled tracking, the technology helped map contamination zones with high precision. This contributed to improved remediation planning and regulatory approval.
