Advantages of CPT

 
Due to the increasing dissatisfaction of engineers with the quality of conventional open tube samples and the general non-compliance of the SPT to British Standards, there has been a growing awareness to the benefits of in-situ testing, noteably cone penetration testing.

Cone Tests
 
Boreholes
 
120 - 150m per day 
 
10 - 20m per day
 
Continuous profile
  
Continuous samples
 
Soil characterized in-situ 
  
Samples sent to laboratory
 
Instantaneous results  
 
Lab testing may take weeks
   
High quality, repeatable results 
 
Sample quality influenced by transport and storage 
   
Electronic - fast, flexible data transfer  
 
 
Data is manually entered into software
   
Minimal soil disturbance
 
Residue left on site
