With control and mobility in mind, the Titan TG-150 was specifically designed for reinforced testing. Mounted to a Mercedes Axor, this customisation allows the truck to act as a counterweight that prevents the rig from lifting mid-test and provides the reaction force needed to offset the 190kN of thrust applied while advancing the CPTu probe and rods at a constant 2cm per secon ...

WHY SONIC DRILLING
The Sonic rig bores 2-3 times faster (depending on soil conditions) without using any drilling mud and is able to provide continuous core samples to depths of more than 100 meters. As a result, sonic drilling can be employed in many applications including geotechnical and geothermal projects, environmental investigations and mineral exploration.
