Seabed CPT

CPT Rig Specifications
Height: max: 2.8m - min: 2.3m
Length: 2.3m
Width: 2.3m

The Seabed CPT Pushing Frame can be used for geotechnical testing associated with:

  • Pipelines
  • Ports & harbours
  • Dredging and Construction projects
  • Cable route surveys
  • Off-shore wind farms
  • Environmental Survey
  • Wave Energy
The subsea system is used for determining near shore seabed soil conditions.  It is designed to be deployed from a stable positioned vessel or platform, allowing for rapid, live CPT readings.  It can be levelled (up to 15 degrees).
 
The chain drive action of the Seabed CPT allows for a continuous push of 20mm / sec, recording data until target depth or refusal.
