Japanese-made Equipment for Enhanced Reliability and Accuracy
We also use reliable Japanese made drilling rigs for inland, offshore, and slope drilling.
Inland Drilling
Offshore Drilling
Drilling on slope
AGES was the first geotechnical company in the Philippines that calibrates all of its SPT hammers.
This optimizes saving benefits to Clients.
The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) recommends standardizing the measured SPT N value. The SPT Analyzer measures the energy transferred into an instrumented SPT rod. This permits the adjustment of the measured N-value to the normalized N60 for standard 60% energy transfer into the rods. Compensating for widely variable efficiencies from different SPT rigs and hammer types improves the reliability of soil strength estimates used in geotechnical designs.
Benefits:
- More accurate field results
- Adjust SPT N-value to N60
- Improve reliability of SPT N-values
- Checks hammer energy

LOW COST IN-SITU SOIL TESTING FOR HOUSING PROJECTS
HOUSING projects are usually constrained with a smaller financial budget than other structures.
AGES provides an affordable soil testing alternative by introducing the Swedish Weight Sounding Test (SWST).
Widely used in Japan and some parts of Europe, the SWST is an in-situ soil testing apparatus that is an alternative or complementary test to the Standard Penetration Test (SPT). Soil profiles are quickly obtained from the SWST providing invaluable information on the stratigraphy of the soil.
The SWST offers several key advantages, including:
- Portable, ideal for inaccessible regions
- Low-cost
- Fast
- Continuous soil-profile, every 0.25 meters
- Preliminary or complimentary test for SPT
- Direct correlation with SPT N-values
LIMITATION: No soil samples
Our SWST offers an affordable, portable, and fast alternative to traditional soil testing, providing detailed soil profiles and quick, reliable results, especially for budget-constrained housing projects.
