Discover our innovations at ICSMGE

29-05-2026 From 14 to 19 June 2026, Vienna hosts the 21st International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ICSMGE), a leading global event for geotechnical professionals. This year’s theme, “Geotechnical Challenges in a Changing Environment,” highlights the evolving demands of our field. We are proud to be part of this international gathering and would be happy to welcome you at booth 12. Visit us to connect, exchange insights, and explore our latest CPT solutions. We look forward to meeting you in Vienna!

Icone data acquisition system 5, 10 and 15 cm Icones

CPT data acquisition system

Accurate data is the foundation of reliable geotechnical analysis. Our advanced Cone Penetration Test (CPT) data acquisition systems deliver high-resolution, real-time insight into soil conditions, enabling precise and reliable site investigations. All systems are supported by ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibrations in accordance with ISO 22476-1:2022, ensuring the highest level of measurement accuracy and compliance with international standards.

The Icone system forms the core of our solution, delivering accurate CPT’s. With our modular setup and click-on modules—including Seismic, Vane, Conductivity, and Magneto—you can easily adapt your system and integrate additional measurement tools quickly and efficiently.

The Icone is available in 3 versions (5, 10, and 15 cm2).

OUR ONSHORE CPT SOLUTIONS

Track-Truck – Invented by A.P. van den Berg

For nearly 40 years, the Track-Truck has set the global standard for CPT operations. Its unique combination of wheels and tracks allows seamless operation on both paved roads and challenging terrain. For smaller or hard-to-reach sites, we also offer self-propelled CPT Crawlers, ensuring maximum flexibility in any environment.

Key benefits:

  • Unmatched versatility across terrains
  • Proven reliability
  • Efficient deployment for diverse projects

CPT robot – fully automated CPTs

The COSON-ST CPT robot introduces a new level of automation to geotechnical investigations. With integrated ST technology, manual handling is eliminated, enabling a safer and more efficient workflow.

Advantages:

  • Up to 20% higher productivity
  • Increased penetration depth range
  • Improved operator comfort and safety
  • Consistent and reliable results

Electrically powered CPT solutions

We are driving the transition to sustainable geotechnical operations. In 2021, we introduced the world’s first hybrid Track-Truck, capable of electrically powered driving and probing. Today, our solutions can operate fully electric, supporting environmentally responsible site investigations.

Impact:

  • Reduced emissions
  • Lower noise levels
  • Future-ready geotechnical operations

OUR OFFSHORE CPT SOLUTIONS

We provide robust and flexible solutions for offshore environments—from shallow waters to depths of 4,000 m.

Our portfolio includes:

These modular systems are engineered in-house and designed to perform reliably under the harshest conditions.

ACSM uses the ROSON-3D for geotechnical soil investigations on the seabed.The WISON-APB-Classic is a wireline system designed for Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) and soil sampling at depths of up to 550 m (water depth and drilling depth).

Our approach:

  • Fully modular design
  • Continuous innovation
  • End-to-end support (installation to after-sales)
  • Customized solutions for every project
