Vane Shear Testing

Solutions for Geotechnical and Environmental Exploration

When geotechnical crews perform excavations, it is crucial that engineers determine a safe slope angle, especially in situations where the ground is clay, silt or other fine-grained soils. A simple and quick test that estimates the undrained shear strength of saturated soils is the vane shear test.

Drilling in Flowing Sands

Solutions for Geotechnical and Environmental Exploration

A major challenge for any driller is trying to drill with flowing sands. The term flowing sands refers to a mixture of fine sand and water that infiltrates drilling equipment. This problem often arises when using hollow stem augers to perform SPT tests.

Core Sampling in Geotechnical Drilling

Solutions for Geotechnical and Environmental Exploration

In most geotechnical and environmental drilling, augers are used to drill in the majority of projects. However, the need still arises to perform core sampling for certain geotechnical projects, usually when the presence of bedrock needs to be confirmed. An auger or split spoon will not be able to enter the bedrock so drillers have to use core sampling methods to be able to penetrate and obtain a core sample.
