  • The DCP finds its application in Geo-technical Investigations to obtain information on the physical properties of soil and rock around a site. 
  • The Test is used to Measure the Resistivity of Soils and can also be used for Backfill Materials required for underground  transmission lines, such as oil and gas pipelines.
  • The ‘On site’ DCP is an In-Situ Tester to determine the CBR of the soil and acts as a yardstick for the Cell-Tower site preparation as well as for trenching and laying of Fibre-Optical cables.
