Column penetration tests and column vane shear tests

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
