Neptune 3000 CPT System
Our Neptune 3000 is a lightweight coiled rod CPT system designed for deployment in up to 3,000 meters of water. It provides real-time geotechnical data including axial load, sleeve friction, and pore pressure measurements. The system's compact design allows deployment from small survey vessels while maintaining data accuracy comparable to 10cm cones.
Neptune 5000 CPT System
The Neptune 5000 offers enhanced capabilities with 35kN push force and 20-meter penetration depth for deep-sea geotechnical assessments. Its advanced sensor array provides detailed soil data while maintaining operational efficiency in extreme offshore conditions. The system features automated safety cut-outs and low-maintenance design for extended deployment periods.
CPT Training Courses
Our certified training programs develop qualified Neptune CPT system operators through hands-on instruction. Participants gain practical experience with real-time data acquisition and system operation. Training includes safety protocols, data interpretation, and maintenance procedures to ensure optimal equipment performance.
Equipment Servicing
We provide comprehensive servicing for all Neptune CPT systems using genuine components and factory-calibrated parts. Our maintenance programs include scheduled servicing, fault diagnosis, and performance optimisation. Technicians use precision tools to ensure equipment reliability and data accuracy.
Bespoke Engineering
Our engineering team develops tailored CPT systems and data acquisition solutions for specific project requirements. Services include custom sensor integration, modified system specifications, and software customisation. We collaborate closely with clients to create equipment that meets unique geotechnical challenges.
