Site Characterization Experts
Experienced, Professional, Reliable
At Oregon Geotechnical Explorations, our experienced team uses Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) and Direct Push Testings (DPT - Geoprobe) tools to streamline site characterization data that is dependable, repeatable, comprehensive, and affordable.
We consistently provide clients with site characterization data that is encompassing, repeatable, reliable, and economical.
At Oregon Geotechnical Explorations, Inc., our team utilizes Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) and Direct Push Testing (DPT-Geoprobe) equipment to safely and efficiently gather comprehensive site characterization data with minimal impact and intrusion on the location. Using these tools allows us to provide our clients with reliable measurements for geotechnical design, including site specific shear wave velocity data, precise and valuable insights for site characterization analysis, enhanced seismic site design, and liquefaction potential.
Efficiently obtain site characterization data that is accurate and cost effective.
Why cone penetration Testing is superior to Standard penetration Testing
We understand the importance of utilizing the most effective methods for site characterization and geotechnical investigations. That's why we wholeheartedly advocate for Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) over Standard Penetration Testing (SPT). CPT offers numerous advantages over SPT, making it the safer, more accurate, and cost-effective choice.
-
The Cone Penetration Test (CPT), initially developed at the Dutch Laboratory for Soil Mechanics in the 1950s, has become one of the most utilized methods for soil investigation worldwide. It involves inserting an instrumented cone into the ground at a controlled rate, providing valuable data for determining soil properties and stratigraphy.
-
With a speed that is three times faster than SPT, CPT significantly boosts productivity while minimizing waste generation, ultimately saving valuable time and resources.
-
One of the most compelling aspects of CPT is the high-quality and exportable data it produces. This data can be seamlessly integrated into various modeling software, allowing for a more precise risk assessment in design and enabling informed geotechnical decision-making.
-
CPT provides high-resolution in situ results that far surpass the often variable intervals and limited grab samples obtained from SPT. This level of detail solidifies CPT as the preferred method for comprehensive and reliable site characterization.
