Geotechnical Services

Type:

Standard Penetration Test (SPT)
Dynamic Penetration Test (DPT)
Cone Penetration Test (CPT)

Features:
  • Automatic Drop Hammer:
  • 140 lbs weight, standard 30” stroke
  • operates at 45 strokes per minute
  • Can be used as a “casing” to prevent caving boreholes
  • SPT:
  • Drives standard 2” split spoon sampler
  • Counting the number of blows (N) to drive the sampler 6”
  • Conforms to ASTM Standards D1586-99
  • DPT:
  • Conforms to the international specifications for Dynamic Penetration Test-Super Heavy
  • 2” diameter (51mm) x 5.75” (146.1 mm) long
  • CPT:
  • Cordless probes, providing a constant stream of real-time data while you are probing
  • Information collected: soil resistance on the cone tip, resistance on the outer sides and pore pressure generated during the test
  • Calculates: geotechnical parameters, (SPT) blow counts correlation, shear strength, relative density, friction angle and lateral stress
  • Cone meets the ASTM D-5778
Benefits:
  • Automatic Drop Hammer:
  • All moving parts, including the 140 lb (64 kg) weight, are fully enclosed in a protective steel cabinet
  • No cables or ropes needed for the operation
  • Consistent results with no human error
Field Facts:
  • Simultaneous Environmental and Geotechnical investigations
  • Allows for versatility in hard access, rugged terrain, indoor and outdoor sites
