6. Insert the soil sampler polyguide. The stabilization plate is now ready for insertion of the AMS soil
sampler.
Step 3: Preparing the hole
1. Insert the AMS soil sampler and force downward in a single smooth action by hand until the
resistance becomes too great.
2. Using a sledgehammer, beat the AMS soil sampler into the ground until the bottom of the beating
head sits 25 cm above the stabilization plate. Note: While it is preferable to go all the way in one
insertion, successful installation may be possible in heavier soils with 2 insertions. Ensure accurate
blows are made such that lateral deflection of the soil sampler is minimized.
Warning
Do not compress the soil such that normal water infiltration is inhibited
