A Pressuremeter test is an in-situ stress controlled loading test
performed on the wall of a borehole using a cylindrical probe which
can expand radially.
From the test readings (volume variation based on controlled
pressure), a stress-strain curve can be obtained, in the case of plane
deformation, which yields :
• the creep pressure Pf
• the Menard limit pressure PL
GROUND PENETRATING RADAR
Locating method that uses radio waves capture images below the surfaces of the ground in a minimally invasive way

A PRESSURE-METER TEST is an In-Situ Stress Controlled Loading Test Performed on the wall of a borehole using cylindrical probe which can expand radially
From the test readings a Stress-Strain can be obtained which yields
- The Menard Pressure meter Modules
- The Creep Pressure
- The Menard Limit Pressure
- The Volume and Pressure Calibration
Has been performed on each test.
The High Resolution Acoustic Televiewer (HRAT)® provides a continuous high-resolution oriented ultrasound image of the borehole wall.
