Road Interchange, Paarl

CPTu testing for a road interchange in the Paarl area. The project entailed 12 CPTu’s, with augering through the hard layers, to a total depth of 20m. The benefits of the Geomechanics Pagani machine is that it is able to do the drilling through the hard layers with just a switch of head on the machine. Previous technology required the use of a separate machine for the augering portion of the hole which was more time consuming and therefore costly.
