About Us

The Full Story

Robert Smith and Jack Farrow set out on a mission in 2016 to change how the Scala Penetrometer or Dynamic Cone Penetrometer equipment is used across New Zealand.

​

The conventional equipment requires each Anvil to be screwed on and off each 1m penetrating rod and this takes a significant amount of time, as well as producing repetitive strain injuries to the forearm...if you know, you know!

​

The RockAnvil design has been developed over years of trials and field tests undertaken by Robert and Jack until finally having a completed, working design that we are proud to sell. The RockAnvil has the ability to work with a range of existing Scala Equipment, including the equipment sold by the two largest suppliers of geotechnical investigation equipment.
