drill rig CPT

Turn your SPT and drilling
operations into CPT in no time.

Why switch to CPT?


If you are skeptical of cone penetration (or “penetrometer”) testing (CPT), you are not alone. Standard penetration testing (SPT) has long been the the go-to method and CPT can appear intimidating.

That’s why Vertek builds easy to operate turnkey CPT systems and provides the most robust training you need to be successful on day one and beyond.

Increase your revenue opportunities with Vertek CPT systems.

Vertek client using S4

Still counting the hammer blows?


SPT hammer

If getting jobs done faster with more accurate data collection and less chance for injury is important to you, it’s time to switch to CPT.

Why have someone tracking how many times a hammer slams down when you can automate data collection with more accurate results? This is the convenience CPT provides.


Isn’t CPT more expensive than SPT?


Only at first. For instance, our most popular S4 CPT Push System can provide a return on investment in 40 days or less. CPT’s unmatched efficiency and accuracy means you will spend less time at job sites and can serve more clients.

CPT equals more money

Isn’t SPT easier than CPT to operate?


Is CPT technology more complex than a hammer hitting a rod? Yes. But this makes geotechnical soil testing significantly easier and safer. A bike is less complex than a car but which is more convenient and safer?

Our Vertek team provides you in-depth training and resources you need to be successful. We only succeed if you succeed.
