Lightweight Dynamic Cone Penetrometer with Variable Energy
Sol Solution is an advanced, lightweight, variable-energy dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) engineered for accurate compaction control and geotechnical soil characterization. Designed for single-person operation, the highly portable device enables field operators to manually deliver strikes with a hammer while built-in electronic sensors automatically record the exact depth and variable impact velocity of each blow. This real-time tracking eliminates manual calculation errors and provides an instantaneous readout of dynamic cone resistance (in MPa) down to a sounding depth of up to 6 meters. The system includes integrated GPS data collection and features a built-in touchscreen terminal where users can compare soil profiles on-site against standardized material classification databases like USCS and AASHTO. Finally, the collected data feeds seamlessly into the cloud-based WebSprint© software to map layers, flag anomalies, filter out rod skin friction, and automatically correlate results with other parameters like CBR, CPT, and SPT values.
