Cone Penetration Testing (CPT)
Accurate Cone Penetration Testing for Reliable Soil Analysis
Inland Drilling has the technical expertise and equipment to perform Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) along with a complete range of in-situ testing capabilities for geotechnical, environmental and mineral exploration projects.
Ideal for sands, silts, clays, soft soils and mine tailings, CPT provides a rapid, reliable and economical means of determining soil stratigraphy, relative density and strength. CPT determines the necessary construction requirements for infrastructure such as roadbeds, bridges and buildings, and produces detailed, cost-effective site characterization.
Cone Penetration Testing provides:
- A continuous log of the soil profile.
- Real-time data acquisition, providing accurate subsurface representation on site.
- Piezometric data in addition to geotechnical design parameters.
- Optional testing for seismic, resistivity, UVIF and gamma.
- Downhole Seismic Testing for P-wave and S-wave seismic wave velocities of the materials.
- Nilcon Vane Testing for in-situ measurements of undrained shear strength.
Benefits of Cone Penetration Testing:
- Measures properties of the soil profile insitu, which produces a continuous and precise data set for design engineers.
- Real-time, on-site interpretation more accurately determines soil type, water table and soil parameters for engineering design, ultimately saving time and reducing costs.
- More efficient and cost effective than conventional drilling and sampling in soft ground conditions.
If required, Inland Drilling can provide technical support to interpret CPT data and assist in the design of your site investigation program.
