We supply the South African made DCP – Dynamic Cone Penetrometer
The Dynamic Cone Penetrometer is very useful for the testing of soil compaction and testing of soil strength attributes of penetrability.
The DCP test is used on-site for soil density tests; no samples need to be taken to a laboratory
The Dynamic Cone Penetrometer finds its application in geotechnical investigations to obtain information on the physical properties of soil and rock around a site to design earthworks and foundations for proposed structures and for repair of distress to earthworks and structures caused by subsurface conditions.
The DCP test is used to measure the resistivity of soils or backfill materials required for underground transmission lines, oil and gas pipelines.
The DCP is an in-situ tester to determine CBR of soil; it is a yardstick for the cell-tower site preparation as well as for trenching and laying of fiber optical cables.
