A Dynamic Cone Penetration Test provides an indication of the soil density by use of a drop hammer. A 140 pound weight is dropped from 30 inches while the number of blows are counted per foot.
A Cone Penetration Test is a more precise way to assess soil density. However it is only available for softer soil conditions. Data is recorded as a cone penetrometer is pushed into the ground.
Solid Stem Augers are one of the fastest and most efficient methods of soil sampling in the industry.
Hollow Stem Augers are essential for installing monitoring wells in both Geotechnical and Environmental applications.
We install a variety of wells, including piezometers, inclinometers, settlement gauges, slope indicators, soil vapour probes and anode installation.
Shear Vane Test is a method of measuring the shear strength of cohesive soil. A rod with vanes is pressed into the ground and rotated.
It is very important that unused wells are properly decommissioned to ensure protection of the ground water.
