  • CPT Drilling ✨📣 We’re now offering CPT services! We have teamed up with DownUnder Geotechnical Limited to offer a full service CPT drilling experience. What is CPT drilling?? Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) is a geotechnical engineering method that involves pushing a cone penetrometer into the ground. The cone is pushed at a steady rate so it can interpret the soil’s strength and resistance, deformation characteristics, and suitability for construction. CPT drilling allows for minimal disturbance to the site and it very effective and accurate in it’s soil assessments.

    Dear friends and colleagues, I’m reaching out to share some urgent news about our fellow industry member, Jeremy Fee, who has dedicated over 20 years to our field. Currently the Operations Manager at Elements Geo Corp, Jeremy was recently involved in a serious motorcycle accident and is now facing a long and challenging recovery. In collaboration with the Ontario Ground Water Association (OGWA) and the National Drilling Association (NDA), a GoFundMe campaign has been launched to support Jeremy and his family during this difficult time. The goal is to raise funds for essential expenses and to provide financial relief as he navigates this journey. 👉 Donate here: https://gofund.me/f63c55dd Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in Jeremy’s life. Let’s unite as a community to show our support and compassion. Please consider sharing this link within your networks. Your generosity will mean the world to Jeremy and his family. Thank you for your kindness and support. Together, we can help Jeremy on his road to recovery!

  • Busy week for CPT in Southwestern Ontario! 🌍 Our team was in Sarnia Monday-Tuesday, headed to Hagersville Thursday-Friday, and gearing up for a 3-week stint in Hamilton! 💪 The Pagani CPT is incredibly user-friendly, and our new operator is already catching on fast. Monday in Sarnia, we hit the ground at 10:15 am and by 11:55 am, we’d already reached 30 meters! 📈 The efficiency and minimal ground disturbance of CPT is game-changing for data collection. Got questions or need Pontil Drilling on your next geotechnical investigation? Reach out! ☎️📧 #CPT #GeotechnicalInvestigation #SouthwesternOntario #DataDriven #PaganiCPT #PontilDrilling #ConstructionInnovation #EngineeringEfficiency

  • Happy Monday! 🔧 Need a custom drilling solution for a hard-to-reach site? Here's a look back at a custom rail setup we configured a few years ago at Mimico GO station. When access is limited, our team finds solutions that keep your project between the rails 😉 🚂💪 #GeotechnicalDrilling #LimitedAccess #InnovationInDrilling #PontilDrilling #RailProjects #InfrastructureSolutions

  • Derek Warner, C.Tech is a man with many talents! Here he is operating our newly acquired CPT rig. Reach out for more info! derek.warner@pontildrilling.com paulo.santos@pontildrilling.com

    Pontil Drilling Service's Pagani CPT rig in action! We are having a wonderful amount of success pushing with this little unit. In these pictures you can see Derek anchoring the rig. Below I've added some benefits to this application: 1. **Continuous Data Collection**: CPT provides continuous profiles of soil resistance, allowing for detailed subsurface characterization without the need for borehole drilling. 2. **Real-Time Results**: The CPT rig provides immediate feedback on soil properties, enabling prompt decision-making during site investigation. 3. **Cost-Effectiveness**: CPT can be more economical than traditional sampling methods, especially in large-scale projects, as it reduces labor and material costs. 4. **Minimal Disturbance**: The cone penetration method causes minimal disturbance to the soil, preserving its natural structure and properties, which can be critical for accurate analysis. 5. **Versatility**: CPT rigs can be adapted for various soil types and conditions, including soft clays, sands, and rocky soils, making them suitable for diverse geotechnical applications. 6. **Depth Capability**: CPT can reach significant depths (often 20-30 meters or more depending on the conditions), which is beneficial for deep foundation projects or assessing deeper soil layers. 7. **Soil Stratigraphy**: The method allows for the identification of soil stratigraphy and layering, helping engineers understand how different soil types may interact under load. 8. **Pore Pressure Measurement**: Some CPT rigs are equipped with pore pressure sensors, enabling the assessment of groundwater conditions and effective stress analysis. 9. **Data Quality and Reliability**: The data obtained from CPT is generally considered reliable and reproducible, which is essential for geotechnical design and analysis. 10. **Integration with Other Testing**: CPT results can be easily integrated with other geotechnical tests (like SPT or laboratory tests), providing a comprehensive understanding of the subsurface conditions. Overall, the use of CPT rigs enhances the efficiency, accuracy, and reliability of geotechnical investigations, leading to better-informed engineering decisions. Thanks for listening...
