When selecting equipment for a Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) job there is a tendency not to give full consideration to the type of cone used. Often cones are selected based upon what happens to be in the workshop and what is on the shelves of the supplier. Although these are both important, it is perhaps more important to consider the soil type that will be encountered as well as the investigation aims of the project.
SonicCPT is an exciting and rapidly developing technique from Royal Eijkelkamp that is reducing early refusals in CPT soundings by carefully applying a vibration, when needed, to the CPT string. The technique actually has a history dating back almost 40 years. Royal Eijkelkamp’s expertise in sonic drilling technology has allowed us to take this pioneering work much further and develop into three key areas of application.
Giant hogweed is spreading in rural areas and is increasingly seen as a problem, partly due to the harmful effect of the toxic substance in the sap of the plant on the skin and eyes.
When the days get warmer in spring and summer, the risk of blue-green algae, or cyanobacteria, increases. The growth of blue-green algae is a sign that the water quality is declining: there are more nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus in the water on which these bacteria thrive. Many species of blue-green algae produce toxic substances that are harmful to humans and animals.
