01
CPTu Testing
Continuous profiling of cone resistance, sleeve friction and pore pressure for detailed soil characterisation.
Division
Mukona In Situ
High-resolution in-situ ground data with minimal disturbance
Overview
Fast, reliable ground data with minimal disturbance
High-resolution CPTu, seismic, pressuremeter, sampling and environmental testing delivered by specialist crews across land and marine environments.
Mukona In Situ specialises in CPTu and advanced in-situ testing for geotechnical and geoenvironmental investigations on land, nearshore and offshore.
Our modern rigs and specialist cones provide continuous, high-resolution profiles of soil behaviour with minimal ground disturbance. Experienced field teams combine efficient mobilisation, quality-controlled testing and clear reporting to deliver reliable data for design.
Testing can be deployed as a stand-alone investigation or integrated with drilling, sampling and laboratory work to provide a detailed understanding of ground conditions across infrastructure, mining, energy, marine and development projects.
