Pressuremeter Testing Equipment
 

Pitcher Drilling Company uses a model G-Type MENARD pressuremeter to measure in situ strength and deformation properties of all types of soil and soft rock as well as ice and permafrost. Well established interpretation methods can be used to determine the following:

• Bearing capacity of shallow and deep foundations
• Settlement of all foundations
• Deformation of all laterally loaded piles and sheet piles
• Resistance of anchors

-  Equal increments of pressure are added and changes in volume are recorded

-  Well established correlations enable bearing capacity and settlement calculations

The pressuremeter can be used in conjuction with drilling
to gain information about soil compressibility.
