Oriented macro-scale sampling of solid rocks for complex characteristics

For sampling of non-weathered and mechanically resistant rock types, especially crystalline rocks, oriented in case of rock outcrops, we offer their sampling with the help of a powerful hand-held petrol hammer drilling machine and stone splitting wedges. These relatively smaller tools allow to keep the removed rock for the most part in its original state, without creation of new internal discontinuities, etc., which would be created e.g. by blasting.
