CPT South Australia offers Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) services in South Australia and further afield.
CPT is an insitu geotechnical investigation test which is suited to cohesive and non-cohesive soil sites.
We operate a Geomil CPT system and use second generation digital 10cm2 compression cones (CPTu) with qc (tip resistance) to 100 MPa, fs (sleeve friction) to 2 MPa, u2 (pore pressure) to 5 MPa and inclination to 20°.
We perform CPT tests according AS1289.6.5.1 – 1999. “Soil strength and consolidation tests – Determination of the static cone penetration resistance of a soil – Field test using a mechanical and electrical cone or friction-cone penetrometer” and with reference to ISO 22476-1:2012 “Geotechnical investigation and testing – Field testing Part 1: Electrical cone piezocone penetration test".
Sounding data is stored in Geroc CORE-GS software and plots are generated from CPT Add-in.
Our deliverable for each CPT sounding are;
