The Wahoo-50 is Geomil’s compact Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) system for inshore testing. Built around the renowned Continuous Drive System, it delivers a net thrust capacity of 50 kN achieving substantial penetration depths. True to its name, based on the extremely fast wahoo fish, the Wahoo-50 can reach retraction speeds of 100 mm/s.

The inshore version of the Wahoo is targeted at a wide variety of projects, such as port developments, quay walls, cable routing and dike monitoring.

The Wahoo-50 is designed to perform testing up to 10 meters into the soil. Hydraulic supply and data transmission are handled via a manually operated floating umbilical, suitable for operations in water depths of up to 100 m.

The system has a base mass of 1900 kg, with the option to add three additional ballast plates of 1400 kg each. With a base operational height of 1.77 m and a
footprint of just 1.5 x 1.5 m, the Wahoo-50 is compatible with nearly any floater and hoisting facility.
