NSWS has been developed as a safety measure for the subsurface ground. It can be used to assess risk for the disaster, ground stability and embankment stability. We are constanly seeking users not only from Japan but from all over the world as well.
NSWS measures the soil 's effective stress and screw points' rotation counts. Newly created and fully automatic Screw Weight System type sounding test machine. It logs the following datas
- weight 0 to 1000 Newton (max. 2500N)
- at 10 mm size step datas and rotary counts.
- NSWS can measure the ground depth upto -25 meter.
With a notebook computer, it can automatically calculate N value with weight and other datas. NSWS works especially effective on Soft Ground, River side, Delta area, Pond, Earth Dam , and Embankment slopes. Measuring stylesnclination measure style---------Perpendicular measure style
