CPT (Cone Penetration Testing)

Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) is a method used by geotechnical engineers to assess soil properties. It involves pushing a slender, cone-shaped probe into the ground at a controlled rate while measuring resistance forces. These measurements reveal important details about soil type, strength, density, and stiffness without the need for extensive drilling or sampling. CPT provides real-time data, enabling accurate analysis of subsurface conditions to inform foundation design, construction planning, and safety assessments. It is a widely adopted, efficient, and minimally invasive technique for evaluating ground characteristics across various projects.
