One of the key concerns of project managers is safety, including the risk of people getting injured or killed at site. Hence, for temporary working platforms, the need to measure the in-situ bearing capacity to minimise the risk of a critical failure or incident for...
One of the methods for measuring dynamic modulus on site and getting repeatable results immediately is using the Light Weight Deflectometer (LWD). By measuring the modulus value, the Light Weight Deflectometer (LWD) provides the direct link between the design...
The GRIZZLY is the first Dynamic Probing Super Heavy (DPSH) in the world to automatically adapt its impact energy to the hardness of the soils. This enables it to measure the dynamic resistance of the soils even more accurately. Heavy dynamic penetrometers are the...
