Soil Resistivity Testing Method – The Wenner 4 Probe Test

Soil Resistivity Testing Methods Wenner 4 Probe Test

Soil Resistivity Testing Methods a popular post. Originally published in 2013 and now updated. A Wenner probe test is a geotechnical investigation method used to determine the electrical resistivity of the soil. Soil resistivity testing can be carried out using different methods. The Wenner 4 Probe test is one of the most common soil resistivity […]

Soil Resistivity Testing Method -The Schlumberger Array

Schlumberger Array

The Schlumberger array is a geotechnical investigation method which determines the electrical resistivity of the soil. This is similar to the Wenner probe test, but it uses multiple current electrodes rather than just two. This allows for a more detailed and accurate measurement of soil resistivity. Soil resistivity testing carried out using different methods, this […]

Soil Resistivity Testing Method – Driven Rod

Driven Rod Method

Soil Resistivity Testing Method – Driven Rod The driven rod test is a geotechnical investigation method which determines the resistance of soil to the penetration of a rod or other penetrometer. The Soil resistivity is determined using different Soil Resistivity Testing methods. However the Driven Rod, described below is the last of the three most […]

Earth Testing | A guide to avoid the common mistakes

why am I getting a hot site?

Testing an Earth/ground electrode is usually the final piece of the puzzle. Measuring the earth electrode’s resistance can verify and validate the design. The Earth measurement verifies that all the safety-critical calculations, assumptions and solutions made during the design phase match its predicted performance in the physical world. Earth testing can easily introduce errors that […]

Why Greymatters Consultants Use CDGEGS HIFREQ Earth Modelling Software

Soil Resistivity Testing

Clients often ask us why we use CDEGS HIFREQ instead of XGSLab or, any of the other packages available in the market. And our usual response is simply. “It’s the market leading product (Top 1%)”. So, I thought it might be useful to quantify exactly why it is the leading product and also why it […]

Soil Resistivity Survey Methods – A few Short Videos

Soil Resistivity Testing

We receive a lot of questions asking how to do a Wenner test or what are the steps in a soil resistivity testing. The key thing to take away is that once you have the appropriate equipment. The act of ‘doing’ a Wenner Soil Resistivity Test is not that complicated. However, you must take a […]
