Probedrill are constantly striving to increase the amount of on -site services we can offer our clients. As such, to complement our vast range of services already offered; we can now also provide plate load testing for large scale jobs. Plate Load Testing can be used to determine the strength characteristics of soil in situ by measuring the amount of deformation and force when a rigid plate is forced to penetrate the soil.
