There are a variety of boring methods that can be utilized by geotechnical engineers to obtain soil samples for foundation analysis. For split-spoon sampling, a truck-mounted drill rig advances a hole of sufficient diameter to take two inch split-spoon samples and make standard penetration tests, with the possibility of taking three inch-O.D.
