Fugro has pioneered the development of
Cone Penetration Technology (CPT) for both
geotechnical and environmental studies. The
conventional approach to such studies usually
involves drilling for soil and groundwater
samples. Samples are then taken to a laboratory
for testing and engineering analysis. Over the
years, CPT has become a preferred method
for conducting site investigations of subsurface
conditions. The speed and data quality of CPT
systems surpass conventional methods of
field data acquisition. Technology now exists to
measure soil properties including subsurface
contamination. In addition, typical information
obtained by CPT testing includes tip resistance,
sleeve resistance, pore pressure, resistivity and
dynamic soil properties.
CPT advantages
Geotechnical and environmental
site investigations
Continuous soil stratigraphy
Identification of thin seams and layers
Estimation of geotechnical and
hydrogeological properties
Prompt collection and interpretation
of field data (2 to 3 times faster
than traditional methods)
Economical (typically
the price of borings)
Elimination of drill cuttings;
site remains undisturbed
Environmentally friendly
Enhanced operational safety
Inclement weather operability
Terrain adaptability (land,
marsh and open water)
