Equipment damage during SPT
Equipment damage during SPT
(OP)
Hi,
we are doing Standard penetration Test for a depth of 35. The rope controlling the hammer gave away after reaching a depth of 22m.
My question is can we still continue with the same bore hole for the remaining depth after the equipment is repaired?

If you have questions, do a stress-wave energy test on the rig using ASTM D4633. This can be used to compare different drill rigs and operators.

Also, I do not trust SPT results after a depth of 30m or so...
