ROSON seabed CPT system

With over four decades of offshore experience, the ROSON is a reliable seabed Cone Penetration Test (CPT) system that combines compact design, high performance and maximum operational flexibility. Designed for safe and efficient geotechnical investigations, ROSON systems are widely used in nearshore, offshore and ultra‑deep‑water environments. ROSON seabed CPT systems are manufactured by A.P. van den Berg and are proven worldwide in demanding marine conditions.

Seabed CPT system since 1982

The ROSON‑1D, ROSON‑2D and ROSON‑3D are compact and versatile seabed Cone Penetration Test (CPT) systems, designed for efficient and reliable geotechnical soil investigations without the need for drilling. Deployed directly on the seabed, the ROSON systems combine high pushing capacity with operational flexibility, making them suitable for a wide range of offshore projects. These systems have been successfully applied worldwide for nearshore, offshore and deep‑water CPT campaigns, delivering consistent, high‑quality data even under challenging marine conditions.

ROSON‑ST – For safe & fast seabed CPTs

The ROSON‑ST configuration is specifically developed to improve operational safety and efficiency during seabed CPT operations. By eliminating the need for a support CPT string, the system reduces handling risks and significantly accelerates installation and operation.Ā Thanks to its optimized deployment concept, ROSON‑ST can achieve a production increase of more than 30%, making it a highly efficient solution for time‑critical offshore projects.
