WILDCAT

What is the WILDCAT?

 

WILDCAT Dynamic Cone Penetrometer


The WILDCAT is designed to test soil in difficult access locations:

  • steep slopes
  • wooded areas
  • swamps, ponds, or rivers
  • low headroom areas
  • congested cities/site congestion
  • areas inaccessible to a soil boring rig

Customer Testimonial

My specialty area is urban development, which normally requires access into relatively tight spots. Often times the WILDCAT is the best, easiest and least expensive way of procuring data!
