AMS 9500 VTR PowerProbe™
The AMS 9500 VTR PowerProbe™ is a remote controlled rubber track ATV direct push/auger exploration machine capable of remote site access with low ground pressure. The AMS 9630 truck PowerProbe™ is a larger machine mounted on a Ram 5500 4x4 truck.  Both are capable of conducting seismic cone penetration testing (SCPTu) using Vertek instrumentation.

This compact yet powerful combination provides high quality geotechnical and environmental explorations for continuous subsurface profiling and data collection.

Cone Penetration Testing
​(CPT)


CPT is a high quality geotechnical exploration
method that provides continuous data
​acquisition of subsurface profiles.

Conventional Test Borings


Test borings allow for various sampling techniques and visual classification of soils to create a subsurface profile.

Test Pits


Test pits are a practical alternative to
test boring explorations for open
or undeveloped areas where general
soils information is desired for a
​profile of ten feet or less.
