Vane Probe NOVA
Vane Probe NOVA measures shear strength down-hole in cohesive soils without influence from possible rod friction or torsion. Vane Probe Nova is perfect for shear strength and sensitivity testing in cohesive soils. A built-in gyro keeps track of the rotation. The deviation from vertical is being continuously measured while pushing the probe in place, providing data for true depth calculation.

Data is transmitted real-time to the operator’s computer without using a cable. A precision motor at the surface rotates rod and probe – all sensors are inside the down-hole probe. The same acoustic transmitter and rods can be used with the Geotech Nova CPTu probe

Vane testers
With electrical vane testers from Geotech, the undrained and remoulded shear
strengths of soils can be measured and sensitivity calculated in situ.
The EVT 2000 Electrical Vane Tester is available with protection for vane and rod or with the “Nilcon” type of slip coupling for compensation of rod friction. The Nova Vane Probe makes the measurements down-hole, directly above the vane.
EVT 2000 with slip coupling
The traditional or standard solution based on the well-known “Nilcon” type of slip coupling for compensation of rod friction.
EVT 2000 with protective casing
The EVT 2000 Electrical Vane Tester with protective casing for vane and rod.
