Biogone ziplock bags are landfill biodegradable and well suited for PID soil headspace sampling. Available in packs of 25 or cartons of 500. -
Biodegradable Sleeving for Sonic Rigs Now you can reduce your plastic footprint on sonic rig sampling jobs by using landfill-biodegradable HDPE sleeving. The clear sleeving has a 203mm lay-flat width, and a thickness of 150 micron. Suitable for Geoprobe, Boart Longyear, and any other sonic rigs which use 8" lay-flay sleeving. -
VOC Sampling in Water or Soil Gas Sampling FEP or PTFE tubing is commonly referred to as 'Teflon® Tubing'. Teflon® is a registered trademark of DuPont, and they were the first company to discover these types of plastics in the 1940s. Fieldtech Solutions stocks clear FEP tubing for soil gas sampling in 1/4" OD size in 15m and 60m rolls. We can also supply a range of PTFE in larger diameter sizes. -
Used during soil vapour monitoring, 3-way and 2-way valves are an ideal addition as part of leak testing and purging.- 3 way valves with 2 Female luer ports and 1 male luer lock
- 2 way valves with 1 Female luer ports and 1 male luer Lock

Soil Vapour Implants can be used for permanent or temporary installations. They can be used for soil gas sampling, air sparging, and even groundwater sampling. They are an accurate and economical way to sample soil vapour. These popular mesh implants come with a barb on top to connect to 1/4” Teflon® tubing. A threaded bottom connection allows connection to a weight to pull the implant down during installation. The implant mesh allows easy passage of the soil vapours to pass in from the target zone into the tubing. The barb allows leak free and tool-less connection of the Teflon® or other similar tubing up to the surface. A range of surface connection fittings are available to provide flexibility to various connection methods at the surface. Installation involves drilling or augering a hole down to the target zone, placing in an implant with connected tubing. Then backfilling around the implant with sand and gravel pack across the target zone. Finally filling back in with soil and or bentonite to make a seal from the surface. The top end of the tubing is where the soil vapour sample is drawn from. When not in use keep this capped.Do I need a weight? Due to the coiled Teflon® tubing acting like a spring, it can bind on the sides of the bore. For shallow installations of a few metres, a weight may not be necessary. For deeper installations a weight is recommended to pull the implant down to the bottom.

AMS soil augers are commonly used throughout the world for obtaining disturbed soil samples at or near the surface and for boring to depths where samples may be obtained with a soil sampler or soil core sampler.
Available in alloy steel or stainless steel, with either threaded or quick-connect options. Perfect for augering shallow depths, AMS soil augers can also auger deeper depths and are generally limited by only the time and muscle of the user. Listed below are the most common AMS augers that we stock. -
Landfill-Biodegradable Push-Tube Liners for Soil Sampling
The BioLinerTM has been available in Australia since 2012, and as the name suggests it is a plastic liner for soil sampling that will biodegrade* 90+% faster than conventional push-tube liners when discarded to a landfill. A special additive in the plastic encourages microbes to consume it. BioLinersTM are made from biodegradable* PVC, and will only start to biodegrade once in a microbe rich environment such as a landfill. They enable you to achieve the same sampling integrity as non-biodegradable liners but more sustainably. Soil push-tube liners, once used are normally discarded having served their purpose. However this adds to our plastic disposal problem. In Australia alone over 1.5 million tons of plastic waste is disposed of each year, approximately 30 million tons in the USA, and about 5 million tons in the UK. Unfortunately most of this goes to landfill with only a small percentage being recycled. This is unsustainable, and the problem will only get worse unless we change our consumer habits. Only the BioLinerTM can help you achieve more sustainable soil sampling. *Biodegradation has been verified by independent laboratory using ASTM D5511 for anaerobic landfill conditions.

When direct push sampling in sands or loose soils, a core catcher is recommended to be used in the BioLiner, which will stop the soil sample from falling out when retrieving from depth. Our core catchers are 100% recycled plastic and landfill-biodegradable. -
The portable tubing reel is a great solution for tubing management when groundwater sampling. Made from high quality steel and powder coated blue for a professional finish. It folds down flat to easily fit in the boot of a car, and can be assembled in less than a minute. It will hold either 1 or 2 reels of BioTubing with ease.
