Vertek CPT
Product of Applied Research Associates
CPT is a valuable tool for engineers working on roadway projects because it offers unmatched efficiency and accuracy for collecting in-situ data. Roadway engineers rely on CPT data to inform design of pavements and foundations for roadway structures like signs, safety railings, bridge piles and aprons, subgrade materials, and pavement. This post will provide an […]
Read MoreRiver erosion, directly linked to subsurface sediment stability, significantly influences the design and construction of any foundation, from natural riverbanks to man-made structures. The factors such as sediment composition, density, and moisture content contribute to the overall stability. Cone Penetration Testing, or CPT, emerges as a convenient and effective method for investigating subsurface conditions. This […]
Read MoreDams and levees are essential to our society. They protect us from floods and other natural disasters, and the consequences can be disastrous if they fail. Cone Penetration Testing, or CPT, is a subsurface investigation method that can determine the strength and stability of the ground supporting these massive structures. This high-resolution data can help […]
Read MoreGround improvement and stabilization are two important aspects of any construction or engineering project. When it comes to ground enhancement, several different techniques can be used, which can be complex and require a high degree of precision. Cone penetration testing or CPT, and ground improvement are becoming synonymous as more engineering firms and government agencies […]
Read MoreCoal ash deposits, often found in by-product sites of coal-fired power stations, can be effectively investigated using Cone Penetration Testing (CPT). This advanced site investigation method assesses and records sediment properties with remarkable accuracy. The process involves a static hydraulic advancement system slowly pushing a multi-sensor probe into the sediment below. The CPT system collects […]
