Soil Resistivity Testing – Common Mistakes

Ian getting ready

We take a look at soil resistivity and provide practical advice on what is ground soil resistivity, why we measure it and these common mistakes when Soil Resistivity Testing:

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 […]

Why do I need an Earthing Study?

Saving lives in earthing design

GreyMatters exists to protect critical assets and life, from the harmful effects of High Voltage and Lightning globally. If we save just one life as a result of what we do…we will have succeeded. What is an Earthing Study? An earthing study is a type of engineering analysis that is used to determine the design […]
