Static and/or Dynamic Penetrometric tests from a single purpose built rig.
The Pagani Geotechnical TG73-200 Penetrometer can be configured on request to perform Static Penetrometric Tests (CPT), or both Static (CPT) and continuous Dynamic (DP) Penetrometric tests. With regards to the dynamic tests the penetrometer can be equipped with different hammer systems (DPSH super heavy, DPH heavy, or DPM medium).
The TG73-200 also allows disturbed samples to be taken, as well as undisturbed samples which permit better stratigraphic interpretation.
The TG 73-200 sets itself apart with its high energy efficiency. 
Approximately 78% of the energy is transmitted to the rods. It guarantees perfect verticality when driving in the rods.
It reduces testing times by allowing the rods and their liner tubes to be driven into the ground at the same time.
The TG73-200 makes removal of the entire rod possible. It features an anchoring system installed on the mast which allows machine positioning times to be significantly reduced, along with the stress when driving the test equipment into the ground.
The TG73-200 Penetrometer features a hydraulic tracked carriage which offers excellent manoeuvrability, even on uneven terrain.
The TG73-200 can even be positioned on very steep slopes thanks to its three stabilisers, and the mast can be tilted continuously, meaning it is always perfectly vertical. The rod which rotates the stabiliser screw is telescopic. This allows it to be driven down to a significant depth, without the need to install extensions.
It is a highly flexible machine, which can be used by one single operator.
Static Penetrometric tests can be performed with a mechanical bit (Begemann) and manual acquisition (CPT), or using different (optional) bits such as the piezocone (CPTU) or seismic piezocone (S-CPTU) which offer a more reliable stratigraphic interpretation and determination of the profile of the speed of the shear waves (Vs).
