Cable Percussion
Our cable percussion services are widely used and an effective technique for obtaining subsurface soil and rock samples. It involves driving a hollow drill casing into the ground using a percussion hammer and cable system. As the drill advances, the sample is collected in the casing, allowing us to extract valuable information about the soil and geological conditions.
​
The Importance of Geotechnical Cable Percussion:
​
-
In-Depth Site Investigation: Cable percussion provides a deeper understanding of subsurface conditions, allowing for accurate site characterisation and informed decision-making during the planning and design stages of construction projects.
-
Foundation Design: The data obtained from cable percussion helps in designing suitable foundations that can withstand the specific ground conditions, ensuring the stability and safety of structures.
-
Contamination Assessment: Cable percussion allows for the collection of soil samples for laboratory testing, helping to assess the presence of contaminants and potential environmental risks.
-
Risk Mitigation: By identifying potential ground challenges, such as weak or unstable soil layers, groundwater levels, or geological anomalies, cable percussion helps in mitigating construction risks.
