In Situ Test System

The BOXcone system is a specialized in situ testing tool designed to interface with a box core sample box. Designed to meet the requirements of a lightweight unit for use on deck, the BOXcone delivers precision-controlled push force and can be deployed on any box core with a removable box.

The system is designed for in situ testing including CPT, T-bar, ball cone penetrometer, lab vane, and plate load testing, as well as push-in sub-sampling. Other probes can also be supplied, such as thermal conductivity. It is suitable for use in all soils capable of being sampled by a box core system.

BOXcone is ideal for route surveys, pipeline soil interaction studies, subsea developments, drill cutting surveys, and marine mining site investigations.

• Adjustable to fit any box core size from 0.25 m to 0.90 m across
