Advantages of Wire Line TestingAdvantages of Wire‐Line Testing

• Speed – 3 to 4 times faster than conventional testingg– Eliminate screwing on and off rods

No electronic cable for the tests– No electronic cable for the tests• All measurements made down the hole inside the probeprobe

• Can quickly drill through obstructions

• Hole has less inclination

Upcoming Use of Wire line DMTUpcoming Use of Wire‐line DMT

• Massimo and I will be performing a wire‐line DMT to a depth of 135 m for a nuclear power p pplant project near Washington D.C. in June– Will be the deepest DMT sounding– Will be the deepest DMT sounding

– Will be some cemented sand layers that we will h t d ill th hhave to drill through

ConclusionsConclusions

• For deep soundings and ones over water, wire‐line methods are 3 to 4 times more efficient– Should gradually replace conventional methods 

• No difference in data quality• No difference in data quality

• Can easily drill through otherwise non‐penetrable layers

• Less inclination• Less inclination

• Less rod friction
