*For specific projects, we invite your inquiry and will provide a firm cost proposal. Unit costs are based on at least one full field day of testing during normal working hours. Our fees are doubled for night work. The minimum DMT/CPTU daily fee is $3,000.00. All tests are performed by a professional engineer.
Our terms are net 45 days.
**Drill rig and crew to create test holes will be provided by others. Fee includes data processing.
***Includes Excel spreadsheet template for settlement analysis based on Schmertmann’s 1986 method.
****Includes Excel spreadsheet template for vertical pile capacity based on the LCPC method and comprehensive parameter analysis and color graphs of parameters.
*****We survey the pavement and field locations to nearest 0.1 feet. Significantly more footage per day can achieved with deep soundings than shallow soundings. This fee provides an adjustment so that the footage unit rate can be constant.
