ConeTec

ConeTec is excited to once again sponsor the Tailings and Mine Waste Conference, taking place this year in Denver, CO. We are also thrilled to have team members presenting four innovative papers at the event: - Hyperspectral Testing of Mine Tailings (Joseph Bindner) - Using Light-Based Sensors (Photonics) in CPTu (Iman Entezari) - Hybrid-Powered Robot CPT Rigs (David Slack) - Viscosity Measurement In Situ (Dallas McGowan, presenting on behalf of Yasmin Byrne) We invite you to stop by our booth to meet our team and learn more about our cutting-edge work in the geotechnical and mining fields! Looking forward to seeing you there! #TMW2024 #Tailings #Mine #ConeTec #TailingsMineWaste

Thank You, Portland! A huge thank you to everyone who attended our short course last week in Portland! It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with all of you, learn from industry experts, and watch live demonstrations in our CPT Truck.   Special thanks to Dr. Diane Moug and Dr. Jason DeJong for sharing your valuable insights and expertise with us. Your knowledge and passion made this event even more enriching for all involved!   Looking forward to keeping the conversations going and exploring more opportunities to learn and collaborate in the future. #shortcourse #learning #GeotechnicalEngineering #CPT #CPTTruck

In today's edition of our "Meet the Office" series, we're exploring Eastern Canada. The Toronto office was established in 2012 and has evolved into a robust team of 20+ professionals. Our dedicated local team takes pride in serving all of Eastern Canada with full-service options for drilling, in-situ testing, and geophysical profiling. From downtown Toronto infrastructure projects to mine and tailings characterization, we have the expertise and equipment to take on any project, on land, overwater, or in between! The Eastern Canada fleet includes: - Short Stroke Compact Sonic Drill Rigs - Long Stroke Sonic Drill Rigs - Multi-Drill Rotary Drill Rigs - Purpose built 20-30ton CPT units - Truck, Track, and Heli options - Limited Access - Surface and Borehole Geophysical Systems Connect with David Craig, P.Eng (Regional Manager) and Graham Vandenberg, P.Eng (Operations Manager) to discuss your next project.

We are pleased to share the addition of a new 15-ton Marsh Buggy to the Texas fleet, specifically designed to meet the challenges of the Southwest region!   This unit provides direct push in-situ testing and sampling in the most difficult-to-access wetland environments where conventional tracked machines can't travel.   A special thanks to our manufacturing team for their outstanding work in bringing this equipment to life. Connect with Rick Pope (Regional Manager - Texas) and Alejandro Sancen (Operations Manager - Texas) to learn more. #ConeTec #GeotechnicalSiteCharacterizations #MarshBuggy #CPT #Texas #USA #Drilling

Do you need to understand your site with a higher degree of confidence? The 2022 ISO standard for cone penetration testing presents significant updates, including guidance on expected confidence levels for soil characterisation with the CPTu based on test category and cone penetrometer class. ❗❗ ConeTec can now calibrate cone penetrometers and perform field CPTu operations in general accordance to this new ISO standard! We offer calibrated Class 0 and Class 1 cones for CPTu projects requiring the highest level of data confidence, both in Australia and globally.

Welcome to the latest feature of “Meet the Office”, where we take you to the stunning landscapes of Utah. Our Salt Lake City location, established in 1996, serves the mining, infrastructure, energy and transportation industries across Utah, Arizona, Nevada, Montana, Colorado, and neighboring states. With comprehensive geotechnical capabilities, SLC was among the first in the US to offer drilling services, becoming a leader in sonic drilling. This expansion enables our team to provide a full suite of integrated site investigation services, including surface geophysics, cone penetration testing, drilling & sampling, and instrumentation installation. Whether it’s local infrastructure projects, hydro-electric dams, or large tailings dams, our Salt Lake team is equipped to handle any investigation. For more information, feel free to reach out to (fun fact included!): Shawn Steiner – W. USA Manager (Personal goal to visit every MLB ball park in the country!) Peter B. – CPT Regional Manager (You might find him in the outdoors camping and fishing) Jeff Parkhurst – Drilling Regional Manager (Loves coaching youth sports) 📸 1. Utah’s powerful 30-ton truck rig 2. The desert sun sets after another day of sonic drilling operations. 3. Tracked CPT rigs are perfect for tailings investigations on soft ground. There are options for over-water investigations too! 4. Amphibious Site Investigation 5. Geophysical Testing: Seismic - MASW and Seismic Refraction 6. We manage to get ourselves into some tight spaces but good thing we have the right limited access equipment and training to accomplish the investigation safely and with minimal impact. 7. Working with a view! 8. When the shift ends with a beautiful sunset 9. Nothing but good vibes when Sonic Drilling 10. Drilling under the rainbow 11. We work in any weather - luckily in an enclosed space like a CPT rig 12. Bluebird day Auger Drilling
