ConeTec is adapting to the changing conditions of the COVID19 pandemic by modifying our actions relative to current regional risk levels. With our updated COVID19 preparedness standard as a guide, we will increase or decrease our practices and procedures based on publicly available pandemic data. By including risk levels within our standards, we are creating a roadmap for de-escalation of controls as the virus wanes, or the escalation of measures during subsequent waves.
To learn more about the details of our COVID-19 response plan, please contact us at HSE@conetec.com or click here.
All ConeTec cones and data acquisition systems are built seismic ready. The addition of geophones in the CPTu body enables the collection of seismic wave data, and the calculation of shear (Vs) and compressional (Vp) wave velocities during the cone penetration test.
Shear waves have particle motion perpendicular to the direction of travel. A normally loaded beam is struck horizontally on each side to create polarized shear waves at regular depth increments. Manual, automatic, and vibratory sources are available depending on the application and rig used.
Compression waves have particle motion parallel to the direction of travel. A vertical impact is typically used as the source.
