Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) is the method of choice
for site investigation. It is a well accepted and proven
technique with its popularity increasing worldwide.
CPT will determine sub-surface stratigraphy and
identify materials present; it will estimate
geotechnical parameters, providing
results for direct geotechnical design.
CPT uses a cylindrical cone, pushed
vertically from a rig into the ground
at a constant rate of 20mm per
second. During penetration,
measurements are made of the
cone resistance, the side friction
against the cylindrical shaft and, in
piezocone test, the pore water pressure
generated at penetration by the cone.
BACTEC has been conducting magnetometer tests for
potential deep buried UXB’s for over nine years and with the
experience gained is now providing a comprehensive range
of Cone Penetration Testing Services.
BACTEC operate a fleet of CPT vehicles to facilitate the
testing in the most demanding environments; the vehicles
range from a combination tracked and wheeled vehicle to
compact vehicles for restricted access.
