Dynamic Penetrometer Training: Optimising Soil Resistance Testing

This training course on the dynamic penetrometer is designed to help participants understand and optimise the use of this essential tool for soil investigation. The dynamic penetrometer is widely used to assess soil resistance during geotechnical surveys and must comply with the requirements of the NF EN ISO 22476-2 standard.

Through this training, you will gain a solid understanding of how the dynamic penetrometer works and its role in producing reliable soil investigation results.

Understanding Standards and Requirements for the Dynamic Penetrometer

The dynamic penetrometer training begins with a theoretical session focused on the requirements of the NF EN ISO 22476-2 standard. This part of the course explains the regulatory framework governing penetrometric testing and highlights the importance of compliance to ensure consistent and trustworthy results.

You will learn how to interpret test data correctly, recognise the limitations of the method and apply best practices when using a dynamic penetrometer in professional soil studies.

Practical Penetrometric Testing in the Field

The one-day dynamic penetrometer training also includes a practical, hands-on session. During this phase, participants learn how to carry out penetrometric tests efficiently and safely under real field conditions. The training covers equipment setup, correct positioning, test execution and safety procedures.

This practical approach enables you to develop confidence and autonomy when performing dynamic penetrometer tests on site.

Delivering High-Quality Results to Your Clients

By completing this dynamic penetrometer training, you will be able to deliver accurate, high-quality soil resistance data to your clients. Proper use of the dynamic penetrometer enhances the reliability of soil investigations and strengthens the professional value of your services.

Join this training course to improve your skills and meet the technical and regulatory requirements of modern geotechnical practice.
