## Soil & Sediment Sampling Equipment

ERE Inc. supplies environmental professionals with a complete range of soil sampling tools, sediment samplers, and subsurface investigation equipment. From hand augers and split-spoon samplers to specialized coring devices — we carry the field-ready equipment you need for Phase I/II environmental site assessments, geotechnical investigations, and contaminated site characterization across Canada.

## Soil Sampling Tools

Collect representative soil samples at various depths for laboratory analysis.
- **Hand Augers** — Stainless steel and chrome-plated auger sets for shallow soil sampling (0–5 m). Includes regular, Dutch, and mud augers
- **Split-Spoon Samplers** — Standard 2" OD split-spoon samplers for Standard Penetration Test (SPT) sampling
- **Thin-Wall Tube Samplers (Shelby Tubes)** — Undisturbed soil sample collection for geotechnical analysis
- **Soil Probes & Push Tubes** — Direct-push sampling tools for shallow soil investigation
- **Soil Core Samplers** — Collect intact soil cores for profile examination and VOC screening

## Sediment Sampling

Sample lake, river, and marine sediments for environmental monitoring and remediation projects.
- **Ponar Grab Samplers** — Petite and standard Ponar grabs for surficial sediment collection
- **Ekman Grab Samplers** — Lightweight grabs for fine-grained, soft-bottom sediments
- **Sediment Core Samplers** — Gravity and piston corers for depth-profiled sediment analysis
- **Dredge Samplers** — For coarse sediment and gravel-bottom sampling

## Field Screening & Testing

Screen soil and sediment samples on-site before sending to the lab.
- **PID Detectors** — Headspace screening for volatile organic compounds in soil samples
- **XRF Analyzers** — Field-portable metals screening (available for rental)
- **pH & Conductivity Meters** — Quick field measurements for soil and pore water
- **Soil Gas Probes** — Sub-slab and soil vapor sampling for vapor intrusion investigations

## Accessories & Supplies
- **Sample containers** — Glass jars, plastic containers, VOA vials, and EnCore samplers
- **Extension rods** — Threaded rods for reaching deeper sampling depths with hand augers
- **Cutting heads** — Replacement auger heads, bits, and cutting shoes
- **Decontamination supplies** — Alconox, distilled water, spray bottles, brushes
- **Chain of custody forms** — Pre-printed COC forms for sample tracking

## Applications
- **Phase II Environmental Site Assessments** — Soil sampling programs for property transactions and regulatory compliance
- **Contaminated Site Characterization** — Delineation of soil contamination extent and migration pathways
- **Geotechnical Investigations** — Soil classification, bearing capacity, and foundation design
- **Remediation Monitoring** — Confirmation sampling during and after cleanup
- **Agricultural Sampling** — Soil fertility, nutrient analysis, and contaminant screening
- **Landfill Assessment** — Waste characterization, cover soil, and liner integrity
