Reliable cast-in-place pile structures are possible!
"Squid" is an inspection system that can simultaneously measure the strength of the subsoil and the thickness of the slime deposit directly. It is equipped with three standard-sized (cross-sectional area 10cm²) cone penetrometers (CPT) at the bottom of the main body, and each rod is combined with a contact plate that slides when it comes into contact with soft slime soil. 【Specifications】 ■ Dimensions: Height 629mm, 647mm hexagon ■ Weight: 188kg ■ CPT rods: 10cm³ × 3, penetration length 15cm, maximum stress approximately 45Mpa ■ Contact plate: sliding stress 3.5kPa (underwater), sliding length 15cm *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

basic information
【Hole Bottom Test Image】 ■ After excavation is complete, the squid is attached to the Kelly bar and lowered to the hole bottom. ■ When the contact plate touches the surface of the slime, the contact plate slides upward, and the CPT rod penetrates into the slime. During penetration into the slime, the weak penetration resistance of the slime is measured with a load cell. ■ When the tip of the CPT rod reaches the hole bottom ground, the penetration resistance increases. This indicates the thickness of the slime. ■ Further penetration of the CPT rod into the hole bottom ground measures the strength of the hole bottom ground. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
