About


The best time to deal with a landslide is before it happens.
Welcome to Handy Geotechnical Instruments. We make instruments for rapid on-site strength testing of soils by professional Geotechnical Engineers and Engineering Geologists.
Borehole Shear: For rapid field determinations of effective stress soil cohesion, internal friction, and preconsolidation pressure.
Pavement Permeameter: Rapid test predicts drainability of pavement elements.
Air Jet Soil Disperser: Particle size analysis of soils.
Rock Borehole Shear: For rapid determination of sedimentary rock cohesion, internal and sliding friction.
Ko Stepped Blade: For rapid, accurate, directional laterals stress measurements in situ in soil.
