Do you have a large road QA/QC project to complete? If so, are you ready to upgrade your dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) testing operations?

Vertek’s Automated Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (ADCP) is safe, fast, and automated to save 40 blows per minute, more than 6 times the average manual speed. Our data acquisition system (DAS) automatically records and displays data in real-time, eliminating data entry, increased data reporting, and reduced personnel.

  • The ADCP can test layers beneath asphalt and concrete pavement by drilling a 1-inch diameter hole and a hydraulic core drill is an option on all ADCP platform configurations; no drilling is required to test unsurfaced pavements and soils.
  • The Data Acquisition System (DAS) provides on-site, real-time registration of blow count and depth. Windows based software simplifies data processing and analysis.
  • The DAS also provides automatic conversion of data into California Bearing Ratio (CBR), Limestone Bearing Ratio (LBR), sub-grade modulus K, resilient modulus E, and Soil Support Value (SSV).
  • The ADCP has been designed to work on the shoulder of a road to testing sub-base layers beneath asphalt pavement or concrete runways.
