CPT Tool - Liquefaction Assessment
CPT Tool
The most user-definable Cone Penetration Testing software available.
Work without limits as you define which types of soil data to present in log, fence, cross-section and graph reports.
- Define correlation formulas and reports
- 200+ Preconfigured correlations and derivations
- 600+ customisable log, fence/cross-section and graph reports
CPT Tool places advanced reporting directly in the hands of geotechnical engineers with code-free report definition and an array of formula configurations, analysis and report options unmatched in cone penetration testing.
Speed up soil data interpretation with rich-data visualisation in any situation, adapting reporting output to changing requirements and conditions across projects.
