Hydrogeological Characterisation with EC, HPT or CPT

The Cone Penetrometer Test (CPT) derives its origin from geotechnical engineering. A CPT cone is pushed into the ground at constant speed by a heavy push truck or a more compact Geoprobe that is anchored into the ground. This probe measures two components:

• Point resistance;
• Local friction.

On the basis of the probe’s measurements, we can classify the soil layers into 12 categories, thus creating an accurate image of the soil. For example, sandy soil typically has a high point resistance and a lower friction resistance. By contrast, clay soil has low point resistance and high friction resistance.

If, in addition to the measurement data produced by such an investigation, you would also like a comprehensive 3D visualisation, we are pleased to be of assistance to you! This makes it easier to clearly display the results of the investigation for discussion with all involved parties.
