CONETEC LAUNCHES FIRST NORTH AMERICAN HYBRID CPT RIG (JUPITER)

ConeTec announces the debut of its hybrid Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) track rig - the first hybrid CPT rig in North America. By incorporating batteries, this rig reduces carbon emissions by up to 60% during normal operations, and by up to 90% if able to access charging at night.

With its powerful 220kN push unit (25 tons-force short US), the hybrid CPT rig combines performance and leading edge safety systems with environmental responsibility. Designed and fabricated by ConeTec's in-house technical development and manufacturing teams, this rig delivers a very quiet and ergonomic work environment.

The Jupiter rig offers the same services as its diesel-powered counterparts, including CPTu and seismic-CPTu testing, resistivity-CPTu, Ball (full flow) CPTu, electric vane shear testing, dilatometer testing (DMT/SDMT), pressuremeter testing (PMT), various disturbed and undisturbed sampling methods, as well as VWP and other direct-push instrumentation installation.

“These rigs represent the future of our fleet. Hybrid and Full-Electric CPT testing will become the standard at ConeTec. This new technology directly contributes to ConeTec becoming the least carbon-intensive site characterization contractor worldwide,” said ConeTec CEO Jamie Sharp.
