CPT (Cone Penetration Test)

The Cone Penetration Test (CPT) is a method used to assess subsurface soil properties by pushing a slender, cone-shaped probe into the ground at a steady rate. As the cone advances, sensors measure resistance from the soil, providing data on soil type, strength, and firmness. This test helps engineers determine ground stability, identify suitable construction sites, and design foundations without extensive digging. It’s quick, minimally invasive, and delivers detailed, real-time insights into underground conditions essential for safe and effective engineering projects.
