Soil probing measures the strength of soil layers quickly, without taking samples, and gives a continuous profile down to the required depth.
What we do
We push or drive a probe into the ground and record the resistance at every few centimetres. The results help choose the foundation type and check the bearing capacity of existing soils.
- Static cone penetration testing (CPT) with pore pressure measurement (CPTu)
- Dynamic probing, light and heavy, for granular and mixed soils
- Continuous soil profiles with calculated strength parameters
- Probing around existing foundations and compaction control
Methods and equipment
- Hydraulic CPT rig on a truck or tracked base
- Dynamic probing rigs (DPL and DPH)
- Data logging with on-site interpretation
- Correlation with local laboratory results
Deliverables
- CPT and probing logs
- Soil layer profile with strength parameters
- Foundation options and recommended design values
Typical timeline
A site with 10 to 20 soundings takes 2 to 4 days in the field and about one week for processing and the report.
