There are many manufacturers and suppliers of CPT tools. Some
descriptions and photographs in this book are taken, with their approval,
from their websites. The addresses of the websites are given under
‘References’ at the end of the guide.
The book Cone penetration testing in geotechnical practice* is still the
best guide, in which the many chapters and examples present the
knowledge and experience that have been acquired all over the world. It
tells where to find more detailed information about ‘In-situ soil testing’.
A book like this can only be written with help from the industry. Lankelma
Limited came up with all the inside information needed. Many thanks for
all the advice given by their engineers and operators.
