A new apartment block on Holyhead Road needed foundation design within weeks. The site had clay over sand, a typical profile across Coventry. We mobilised a 20-tonne CPT rig to push a cone through 18 metres of ground. The continuous electronic log gave us tip resistance and sleeve friction every 2 cm. That data fed directly into settlement calculations and pile design. No delays, no drilling debris. For shallow footings we often combine this with a plate load test to verify bearing capacity on stiff clays. The developer got a clear geotechnical model in under 48 hours. That is the speed and precision you can expect from our Coventry team.
A 20-tonne CPT rig can profile 18 metres of ground in Coventry in less than 48 hours, delivering continuous data for safe foundation design.
