Product information

Seismic System

With the Seismic module you can perform insitu shear wave velocity measurement while you perform a Cone Penetration Test, thus in a cost effective manner. The seismic module can be used with any Memocone, but requires Corded/Cable operation.

The foundation:
Upgraded version - 2025
Triaxial accelerometer
Digital oscilloscope serving as the measurement backend
Fully integrated in the Envi CPT logger application
Automatic, self-adjusting signal amplification
Corded CPT probe required

Shear wave velocity is measured during the same push as the CPT test by pausing the penetration and releasing the probe rods while the seismic test is performed.
