A cone penetration test is used to determine geotechnical properties of soils. The cone penetration test has become internationally one of the most widely used.
Description:By combining the magnetometer and piezocone, it is possible to investigate UXO and geotechnical properties simultaneously. Detection of UXO Detection of metallic structures, such as ground anchors Measurement of sheet pile foundation depth Clients choose to use CPT for a wide range of land and marine applications including: Providing information on ground strata and engineering properties to designers planning foundations for new buildings, structures and highways Geoenvironmental investigations to facilitate the remediation of brownfield sites, where CPT can: Characterise contamination Map the extent of leachate spread, buried obstructions and unexploded ordnance, Determine depth of foundations Geohazard studies, for example the investigation of natural cavities and solution features and man-made features such as shafts and mine workings Quality control checking of earthworks, e. Cone penetration testing can provide a wide range of information in suitable soils, delivering large volumes of data to internationally recognised formats at lower cost and with less impact than alternative methods.
