View License Agreement Source: STP1118-EB Abstract Piezometric Cone Penetration Testing with soil Electrical Conductivity measurements (CPTU-EC) was used for the detection of hydrocarbon saturated granular soils at two airport fuel storage areas. Details of the CPTU-EC equipment and site subsurface conditions are provided. Test program phases, including laboratory testing, field insitu testing and CPTU-EC data interpretation are described. Comparisons are made between CPTU-EC and adjacent monitor well data. Limitations to the CPTU-EC method are discussed.
