In-situ testing

In-Situ
Testing.

Direct measurements of ground behaviour, resistance and stratigraphy at field scale.

Measured in place

Higher-resolution understanding of the ground.

In-situ tests complement drilling and sampling by measuring soil response directly under field conditions. Methods are selected and interpreted as part of the overall ground model.

Testing methods

  • Cone Penetration Testing — CPT and CPTu
  • Standard Penetration Testing — SPT
  • Dynamic Probing Super Heavy — DPSH
  • Dynamic Probing Medium — DPM
  • Dynamic Probing Light — DPL
  • Groundwater observations
  • Field density and construction quality-control tests
  • Integrated interpretation with borehole and laboratory data

CPT capability

Continuous profiling.
Immediate data.

Our 200 kN CPT system supports continuous stratigraphic profiling and measurement of cone resistance, sleeve friction and, where applicable, pore pressure.
