25. Leveraging Real-Time Data - The Growing Demand for Cone Penetration Testing

Welcome back to the Build+Revitalize Podcast. AEC professionals are swimming in data on projects like never before: soil profile information, subsurface test results, existing and proposed grade elevations, civil layouts, foundation designs, drone imagery, infrared scans, laser scans, LiDAR scans, remote vibration monitoring, pavement conditions, roofs, facades, and engineering inspections. It can be overwhelming. Expectations have evolved to increasingly rely on consultants to leverage newer tools, technologies, and processes to manage all this data – to make better and faster decisions.

In this episode, SME Assistant Group Leader of Laboratories, Seth Molenaar, talks about the growing popularity of Cone Penetration Testing, or CPT. While CPT has been around for about a century, its ability to gather ample information efficiently has improved and outpaced other methods, launching it to the forefront of drilling.
