We are proud of our extensive consultancy and CPD services. Please see below for further information and contact us if you wish to learn more about what we can offer.

In Situ’s consultancy service covers all areas of Cone Penetration Testing and related activities:

• CPTU Supervision
  Our hands-on experience includes supervising CPTU works on site, progressive stages of data collection, data quality checks, data analysis, factual report provisions, estimation of geotechnical parameters for specific ground conditions and client representation.

  In July – September 2019, In Situ SI was involved in supervising CPTU work on the site of Sasa – Central Asia Metals Mine, in Northern Macedonia, which was carried out by local contractors. CPTU tests were required to be undertaken on the historic tailings beach surface. In Situ SI was engaged to perform progressive collection of raw data, QA/QC reviews and provision of factual CPTU plots, as well as estimation of undrained strength ratio and evaluation of liquefaction potential.

  Data Management
  We have considerable experience in geotechnical data management. We work closely with our clients to develop a data collection program and ensure all datasets are readily exported in versatile formats for further analysis. By offering instant reports, the data is available for further manipulation in AGS or Excel format soon after the tests have been completed on site. Being involved with major infrastructural and power plant projects in the UK, we have had experience of managing over 1000 tests per project, with a turnaround of final interpreted results within 24 hours or even instant reports soon after the completion of tests on site.

  Geotechnical Assessments
  We provide guidance on selecting the appropriate characteristics of soils for geotechnical analyses, as well as various correlations between in situ and laboratory soils’ parameters for a better fit to your design requirements. Our extensive experience on a vast number of site investigation techniques, correlations of soil behaviour types against visual descriptions from boreholes, various back analysis from load tests and over 10 years of experience in seismic downhole tests enable us to guide you to address complex design aspects in seismic areas, soils prone to liquefaction, soils with a high risk of instability, etc.

  Ground Modelling
  Our engineers are able to provide geological mapping and ground modelling for all size projects, which allows our Clients to facilitate the ground investigation programs, provide a more accurate site characterization and help with detailed geohazard studies.

We offer free presentations to companies who wish to find out more about CPTs. Our 60 minute course, ‘A brief guide to CPTs’ is endorsed by the British Geological Society and we are able to issue formal CPD certificates for those in attendance. All presentations are free and we will even provide pizza for lunch, which has proven to be extremely popular! Our presentation can be tailored to suit your needs so please do not hesitate to ask if you would like any specific areas covered such as advanced uses of CPT results, Pressuremeters, MiHpt Environmental probe etc.

In addition to our presentations, we have held several free single day CPT and Pressuremeter Courses across the UK, Ireland and globally. These are presented by leading industry experts and provide in depth, tailored technical talks and analysis on the use of data and equipment as well as detailed case studies on how the testing can be used on different projects.
