What is Static Cone Penetrometer Testing (Static CPT)?

The static cone penetration or cone penetrometer test (CPT) detects geotechnical engineering properties and delineates soil stratigraphy.

A static cone penetrometer test (CPT) is a geotechnical investigation method used to assess the properties of soils beneath the ground surface. It involves pushing a cone-shaped penetrometer into the soil while measuring the resistance encountered during penetration.

This test provides valuable information about the soil's strength, composition, and stratification, helping engineers and geotechnical experts evaluate its stability and load-bearing capacity. By analysing the recorded data, professionals can determine soil parameters such as friction angle, tip resistance, and pore pressure, aiding in the design and construction of foundations, retaining walls, and other structures. The static CPT is a widely employed technique that enables accurate subsurface characterization for various engineering applications.

Our TG63 Pagani CPT Rig

Our TG63 Pagani CPT rig excels in both static cone penetrometer tests and dynamic assessments of soil and subsoil conditions. This highly efficient machine comes with a semi-automatic anchoring system, enabling single-operator handling and overcoming challenges that often restrict the widespread use of static cone penetration tests—recognised as some of the most reliable methods for soil sampling.

The TG63 Pagani significantly cuts down test times while its advanced track system ensures maximum mobility across the most challenging terrains. Equipped with three stabilisers and a reclinable mast, our rig is adept at performing static cone penetration and static penetrometer tests even on steep slopes, all while maintaining the penetration axis in a perfectly vertical position.

Our Commitment to Excellence

When it comes to soil testing, precision is paramount. That's why our TG63 Pagani CPT rig is at the heart of our operations, ensuring that each static cone penetrometer test/static cone penetration test we conduct is not just accurate but outstanding.
