Complementary Technologies – PS Logger®, Seismic CPT and CPT for Ground Investigation
Ground investigation for Offshore Wind Farm (OWF) development routinely employs CPT, Seismic CPT and the PS Logger® in combination to determine in-situ formation stiffness. CPT supplies parameters beyond the linear elastic limit while Seismic CPT and the PS Logger® provide stiffness parameters for very small strain elastic response.
The ongoing development of Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) techniques, now with more measurements, continues to grow providing a system that complements conventional wireline logging.
The PS Logger® is vital to these investigations as it can provide a continuous stiffness profile through layers where CPT cones cannot penetrate (rocks, pebbles, gravels etc) …click to read more
