Seismic Reflection Survey
Application | Apparatus | Processed Results |
- Used for mapping layer thicknesses, bedrock levels, topography, horizontal profiling, voids and sinkholes, faults and horizontal fracture zones. It is particularly useful where high detail is necessary or in complex geological environments. | ![]() | ![]() |
MASW (Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves)
Application | Apparatus | Processed Results |
- Measures the surface shear wave velocities that travel through the ground. The processed data can be used to estimate the thickness of overburden and bedrock and evaluate ground stiffness. The test can be conducted for onshore and offshore investigations. | ![]() | ![]() |

Cone Penetration Test
The cone penetration or cone penetrometer test (CPT) is a method used to determine the geotechnical engineering properties of soils and delineating soil stratigraphy.
• Determining the resistance of a friction cone or a piezocone as it is advanced into subsurface soils at a steady rate.
APAGEO PRESSUREMETER
A Pressuremeter test is an in-situ stress controlled loading test
performed on the wall of a borehole using a cylindrical probe which
can expand radially.
From the test readings (volume variation based on controlled
pressure), a stress-strain curve can be obtained, in the case of plane
deformation, which yields :
• the creep pressure Pf
• the Menard limit pressure PL
GROUND PENETRATING RADAR
GROUND PENETRATING RADAR
Locating method that uses radio waves capture images below the surfaces of the ground in a minimally invasive way
Menard Pressuremeter
Manufacturer: Germany
A PRESSURE-METER TEST is an In-Situ Stress Controlled Loading Test Performed on the wall of a borehole using cylindrical probe which can expand radially
From the test readings a Stress-Strain can be obtained which yields
- The Menard Pressure meter Modules
- The Creep Pressure
- The Menard Limit Pressure
- The Volume and Pressure Calibration
Has been performed on each test.
