On behalf of Geotechnical Engineering, Lankelma undertook combined piezocone magnetometer and combined piezocone and seismic tests at a school in South Camden to provide geotechnical parameters for the design of additional buildings. 
     
 
UXO clearance
  
The combined magcone/CPTU unit was used at 8 locations to ensure the site was clear of any unexploded war ordnance. All the tests went to refusal, with the deepest being approximately 24m.
     
 
Seismic p wave and s wave tests
  
On completion of UXO survey, the system was changed over for the seismic/CPTU cone works, the switch over with the equipment took approximately 30 minutes and was completed during the morning set-up session.
   
There were 2 seismic locations, the first had seismic p wave and s wave tests at 0.5m intervals during penetration, while the second location had the tests carried out at 1.0m intervals.
