Hydraulic Extraction in Action: ASTM D1587 Shelby Tube Sampling

We’re excited to share a glimpse of our geotechnical team at work! This video showcases the hydraulic extraction of a Shelby tube soil sample following ASTM D1587 standards. This method ensures we recover undisturbed fine-grained soil samples for critical lab testing—helping us assess strength, consolidation, and permeability for our project’s foundation design. 

Watch the process and let us know your thoughts on soil sampling techniques!
