How reliable is the soil on which you build, sow, or provide advice? To prevent subsidence, structural degradation, or poor root development, accurate soil testing is essential. Whether you want to determine the penetration resistance or the shear strength of the soil, we offer the right professional equipment.

Ideal for measuring penetration resistance and detecting impermeable layers or soil compaction.
The soil's resistance to penetration determines its carrying capacity and the ease with which plant roots can grow through the soil. The soil bearing capacity is an important factor in foundation design for civil engineering works.
Mapping large areas often requires many measurements. For this purpose, we have developed the Penetrologger; an electronic penetrometer with a built-in GPS and data logger, for accurately storing and processing many data. Optionally a soil moisture sensor can be connected in order to determine and save the soil moisture percentage (single-point measurement) of the measuring position.
Specially designed for quickly and accurately determining the undrained shear strength of cohesive soils such as clay and silt.
The shear strength, or resistance to shear stress, of the soil depends on different soil characteristics. Our various instruments allow you to measure and determine the shear stress in the layers, either in the field at the soil surface, in a profile well and at the bottom of a borehole, or in a soil sample.
