Plate Load Test
Determines the settlement of the soil under a given load. Results can be used to
estimate the ultimate bearing capacity
FIELD DENSITY TEST
(Sand Cone Method)
Measures relative density of soil which has been compacted using compacting equipment
Pull-out Test
Performed to assess the anchorage or pull-
out capacity of piles
PS Logging
P-S LOGGING
Measures compression and rotational wave velocity using indirect excitation
GROUND PENETRATING RADAR
GROUND PENETRATING RADAR
Locating method that uses radio waves capture images below the surfaces of the ground in a minimally invasive way
Nuclear Density Test
Nuclear Density Test
Nuclear density test is a quality control and acceptance testing of compacted soil and soil-aggregate mixtures as used in construction and also for research and development.
Nuclear density test is useful as a rapid, nondestructive technique for in-place measurements of wet density and water content of soil and soil-aggregate and the determination of dry density.
Vane Shear Test
Determines the undrained shear strength of soils especially soft clays.
DYNAMIC CONE PENETRATION TEST
Measures the materials in-situ to penetration
Thermal Resistivity
The KD Pro Thermal Unit using the single probe method.
This method employs a heat source inserted into the soil whereby heat energy is applied continuously at a given rate. The thermal properties of the soil can be determined by analyzing the temperature response
adjacent to the heat source via a thermal sensor.
This method reflects the rate at which heat is conducted away from the probe.
