With more than 25 years of experience, Geoprobe® has the technical team and full line of cone penetration test apparatus to support your CPT endeavors.

“Cory and Troy have made efforts to be at our disposal to ask questions and their response time is exceptional,” said Derek Wolfe, engineer with Applied Geotechnical Engineering Consultants in Utah. "Having that kind of customer service is invaluable."

CPT READY RIGS...

Geoprobe® CPT-ready rigs incorporate:

  • 15 tons of downforce, sufficient to execute the work.
  • automatic head feed rate control to provide a consistent 2 cm/sec CPT push rate, meeting ASTM standards.

"As the amount of energy required to push the cone varies between soil layers, the energy output by the rig can easily be adjusted. It’s as simple as pushing a button to adjust the speed and maintain the 2 cm/sec ASTM standard,” said Christian Jackson, engineer with Burns Cooley Dennis in Mississippi.

CONE PENETRATION TEST APPARATUS...

Geoprobe® offers 10 cm2 and 15 cm2 NOVA cone options, cabled or cordless options, and a seismic module. You'll have access to all the cone penetration test apparatus required to easily run your CPT system with your Geoprobe® rig — anchors, rods, and polyfilters.

“Installing the anchor and adding additional pieces to increase depth of embedment is easy. Nothing is too difficult when running the CPT. There are tools to help efficiently remove rods from the ground,” Jackson said.

EXPERT TRAINING...

Geoprobe®  CPT experts spend classroom and field time — in Kansas or your location — setting you up to succeed with your CPT equipment. Complete training with confidence to tackle your first job.

"It was a fantastic learning experience. If you’re wanting to learn CPT, I would 100% recommend going to Salina. It was an invaluable experience,” said Thomas Kasang, operations manager with GSG Consultants Inc in Illinois.

IN-HOUSE SERVICE AND SUPPORT...

Geoprobe® service and support extends beyond the rig to the cone system. Cone calibrations and repairs are handled in-house by CPT experts who quickly answer the phone when trouble arises in the field.

“I can contact Troy Schmidt and he'll walk me through troubleshooting while I'm in the field. Geoprobe® has put in a lot of time and effort to try and solve problems and accommodate our needs," said Kevin Whitla, Olsson project manager.
