Geobotnia Oy has added column penetration tests and column vane shear tests to their range of services. The first ones are used to determine the shear strength of a column while the latter ones are used to determine the shear strength of a column at a certain depth.
In addition to these quality control tests, we offer amongst other the following ground and rock investigations:
o weight sounding tests, dynamic probing tests and static dynamic penetration tests
o piezocone penetration tests (CPTU), vane tests, pressuremeter tests
o groundwater standpipe installations in soil and rock as well as water samplings
o disturbed and undisturbed soil samplings
o percussion drilling with drill rods or casing pipes
o core samplings in rock
o packer tests in rock, rock core sample logging and mineral aggregate tests
