Ohio Unversity Accelerated Pavement Tester in Action! In 1997 Vertek delivered our first of many Accelerated Transportation Loading Systems (ATLaS). Ohio University published this video, dated in 2012 of the pavement load tester in use at their Accelerated Pavement Load Facility. Common pavement tests include: Pavement coating lifetime analysis Experimental pavement fatigue estimation Pavement rutting Impact of temperature cycling on pavement Effects of wheel wander on pavement lifespan [/fusion_youtube] Though our designs have evolved since 1997 to better handle environmental and energy useage factors, many components of the above are still present on our current deliveries of pavement and bridge deck testers. These testers are designed to deliver actionable data regarding the lifespan and limits of road surfaces and pavement composition in shortened timespans. While this website is primary dedicated to our CPT business, Vertek's wealth of geotechnical manufacturing experience has led to additional focus on structural integrity fields such as load testing. See our ATLaS pavement and bridge load testing page for more information or to inquire.

Drilling Services We will work with you to determine the most efficient, cost effective and most importantly safest drilling method, utilizing our equipment, with the capability of reaching even the most inaccessible locations with our limited access drill rig.   We offer you the following services: Geotechnical Drilling In preparation for construction, information must first be gathered about the underlying soil conditions to determine proper engineering for weight loads and stability. Types of soil, groundwater information and depth to bedrock are just a few aspects of ground chemistry. GEOTILL is able to perform in-situ sampling as well as install piezometers that will measure ground movement and settling patterns. We are also able to perform SPT (Standard Penetration Test), split spoon sampling and collect undisturbed samples.   Environmental Drilling Today, more than ever, we recognize the importance of maintaining and appreciating our environment, not only for us, but for future generations to come. Since our beginning, GEOTILL has been providing environmental drilling services for our clients throughout the Midwest (Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, Missouri, and Illinois) . Our environmental drilling practices provide clean, accurate samples to determine the existence of any contaminates in soil or groundwater. To meet the needs of our individual client's projects, GEOTILL  Geotechnical & Environmental  drilling offers a variety of solid/hollow stem auger, air-mud-water rotary, coring as well as direct push sampling with our 8040 and 7822 Geoprobe .   Rotary Drilling The rotary drilling technique is normally used for forming a deep observation borehole or for obtaining representative samples of rock. Powered rotary cutting tools use a cutter head on the end of a shaft, which is driven into the ground as it rotates. The system requires lubrication (air, water or drilling mud) to keep the cutting head cool and remove the soil or rock which [...]

Cone Penetration Testing CPT

By |April 15th, 2016|

GEOTILL drilling services offers a wide range of geotechnical and environmental cone penetration testing (CPT) and geophysical testing equipment. Cone penetration testing is a process whereby soil characteristics are determined when a cone penetrometer is driven into the subsurface. The CPT provides a rapid, reliable and economical means of determining soil stratigraphy, relative density, strength  information (static and dynamic pore pressure, hydraulic conductivity). Geotill’s skilled and knowledgeable operators can retrieve data at a faster rate even in difficult conditions, allowing less time on the job and a lower cost to the client. Our highly trained staff can then provide you with the technical support necessary to accurately interpret the cone penetration data we provide and assist you in the design of your site investigation program. Geotill has also aided in the design of specialty modules and samplers that can be deployed with the CPT to obtain additional data pertinent to geotechnical and environmental investigations. Modules & Samplers Piezocone Penetrometer Seismic Cone Penetrometer In-situ hydrocarbon screening using ultraviolet optical screening tool (UVOST) In-situ resistivity and hydraulic conductivity analyses Seismic analysis (shear wave velocity determination for liquefaction studies) SPT Energy Calibration Soil Remediation (ORC or HRC Injection) Membrane Interface Probe (MIP) with CPT The CPT techniques/services listed above are discussed in detail in the Technical Methodology section. CPT Advantages Detailed hydrogeologic profiling at an average rate of 400 to 500 feet per day - rapid and cost effective Provides a near continuous log of the site lithology Real-time data enabling an accurate, on-site, lithologic subsurface representation Ideal for sands, silts, clays, soft soils and mine tailings Provides piezometric data in addition to geotechnical design parameters Add-ons such as seismic, resistivity, UVIF and gamma modules provide additional data CPT Works Well In Sensitive fine-grained soils Organic soils Clays Silt mixtures Sand mixtures Sands [...]
