PANDA 2 complies with the NF P 94-105 French Standard for quality compaction control(dynamic cone penetrometer procedure)PANDA 2 complies with sanitation regulations (Fascicule 70, COFRAC, Water Agencies.)Complete layers thickness monitoringCompaction homogeneity controlTrench compaction control (narrows, sewerage)Compaction control of all types of embankments (roads, earthworks, dams, dykes)Full height control in one single operation

The penetrograms obtained (cone resistanceaccording to depth) can be compared to astandardized norm.France : GTR classification and Q1, Q2,Q3, Q4 & Q5 quality compaction levels.International : different soil classifications areavailable (USCS, AASHTO, DIN 1986,PG3) and choice amongst variouspercentages of the of Standard ModifiedProctor Density or Modified Proctor Density.Anomalies calculation is automatically doneby the Panda Win software according to theNF XP P 94-104 French standard.All data (reference and refusal curves andanomalies calculation) are directlyaccessible and viewable in situ on theDialog Terminal screen.

Normalized hammer

Anvil with gages bridge(measure of the driving energy)

Option : Mechanical rod extractor

Option : Automatic hammering machine

Central acquisition unit UCA(measure of the driving depth)

Dialog terminal TDD(calculation of the

soil resistance)

The test consists in manually driving a conedown into the soil (to the desired depth).

For each blow, PANDA measures the drivingvariable energy and the depth and calculates

instantly the soil resistance qd.

The penetrograms can be viewed in-situ on theDialog Terminal screen; the data are thentransferred and processed thanks to thePANDA WIN software.
