Landmass engineers highlight how CPT helps identify weak soil layers, reduce design uncertainty, and ensure safer foundation systems.

Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) is a rapid, continuous method of profiling subsurface soil resistance. At Landmass, CPT is often used alongside borehole drilling to provide complementary data for geotechnical interpretation.

By measuring tip resistance, sleeve friction, and pore pressure, CPT allows engineers to estimate soil strength and identify soft layers that could compromise stability.

When correlated with laboratory test data, CPT results enhance confidence in bearing capacity calculations and settlement predictions.

“Using CPT data allows us to refine our designs and minimize over-engineering,” explained Senior Geotechnical Engineer, Engr. Chukwuma Eze.
