Cone penetration testing (CPT) is an in situ data collection method used to identify soil types and support high resolution site characterization. A cone penetrometer is pushed into the ground at a standard rate while the system records continuous measurements of tip resistance and shaft friction, helping teams build clearer subsurface profiles without generating drill cuttings.
When you need reliable subsurface data quickly, CPT delivers repeatable measurements and can reach 200+ feet in many soil conditions. It also supports dissipation and seismic testing and can pair with HRSC tools to strengthen conceptual site models for remediation planning and optimization.
