Testing and Sampling
Equipment

Mud Bay offers all types of modern testing and sampling systems for generating high quality geotechnical and environmental data and samples.

In-situ Testing

Mud Bay has years of experience deploying various in-situ testing systems. We have developed custom equipment and methodologies to increase both data quality and production efficiency during operation of our in-situ testing systems.

Overview

Test Types Available

  • CPTu Deployment (including Seismic, Resistivity, UVIF, UVOST, Gamma, MIP, HPT)
  • Vane Shear Testing (digital electric and Nilcon)
  • Pressuremeter Testing (PMT) including both self-bore and pre-bore options: Menard type, Texam, Boremac and Cambridge Self-Boring 6-arm
  • Dilatometer Testing (DMT)
  • Packer Testing (Datalogging systems available for flow and pressure)
  • SPT and LPT
  • DCPT and various DPT methods
  • All penetration type testing/sampling utilize calibrated automatic hammers
  • MARL eSPT system
  • Iso-flow Testing
  • Instrumented Becker Penetration Testing (iBPT)

Geotechnical Sampling

Mud Bay offers all types of geotechnical sampling equipment. Whether your project requires recovery in soft overburden soils or coring underlying bedrock, we can provide a sampling system to meet the demands of the subsurface conditions on site.

Overview

Sampling Systems Available

  • Sonic coring (3” to 8” core barrels)
  • Thin Wall Tube Undisturbed Sampling: Piston and Push-in methods, Sharpened and Standard tip, stainless or galvanized steel tubes
  • Hydraulic, Mechanical and Pneumatic fixed piston undisturbed samplers
  • Penetration Sampling (SPT, LPT)
  • Pitcher Sampling
  • Diamond Drill Coring (BQ, NQ, HQ, PQ)
  • MOSTAP sampling
  • Instrumented Becker Penetration Testing (iBPT)
  • MARL eSPT system
  • Other various custom-built sampling systems
  • Specialty soft soil and slurry samplers (mine tailings and marine sediment sampling solutions)

Mud Bay has a selection of systems available for collecting environmental samples of soil or groundwater.

Overview

Sampling Systems Available

  • Direct push water sampling (Hydropunch and Waterloo profiling)
  • Direct push soil sampling (for either continuous or discrete, targeted samples)
  • Sonic water sampling tip 
  • Sonic coring (3” to 8” core barrels)
  • High-resolution site profiling systems available: UVOST, UVIF, MIP, HPT, Conductivity, Gamma (also can be coupled with the CPTu)
