In civil engineering, foundation survey, tunnel monitoring, road construction and other projects, core cutting is an important means of on-site density detection of clay soil. It is widely adopted because of its simple, intuitive and accurate characteristics. For equipment manufacturers, construction tool suppliers and related supporting enterprises, mastering and promoting standardized core cutting operation processes and precautions will not only help improve customer construction safety and data reliability, but also enhance the recognition and added value of their own products in the engineering survey market. The following are comprehensive preventive measures for core cutting:
Stable equipment status is a prerequisite: Suppliers need to provide core cutters, hammers and sampling auxiliary accessories with no structural deformation, complete cutting edges and good sealing.
Standard calibration mechanism: It is recommended that the product be equipped with a factory calibration report and indicate the volume accuracy error range to enhance customer confidence in measurement reliability.
Durable material design: For high-frequency use or complex soil, it is recommended to use thickened stainless steel or alloy reinforcement ring design to increase equipment life.
Wear PPE protection: Suppliers can sell or recommend users to use protective equipment such as safety boots, gloves, and dust masks to enhance the competitiveness of the overall solution.
Equipped with instructions and video tutorials: Especially in government projects, campus projects, or foreign-related construction, standardized operating process documents (in both Chinese and English) can help reduce the risk of usage errors.
Assist in site risk assessment: Help customers avoid high-risk operations such as underground water pipes and cables by recommending the use of matching stud detectors and utility scanners.
Place the core cutter: Place the core cutter vertically on the soil surface. Make sure it is fully aligned and avoid tilting, otherwise it will cause inaccurate results.
Drive the core cutter: Use a steel trolley to place on top of the cutter to prevent deformation and use a hammer to strike vertically. Drive the cutter smoothly to avoid damaging the cutter and maintain the integrity of the sample.
Depth considerations: Drive the core cutter to its maximum depth. Partial penetration will cause sampling errors and inaccurate density calculations.
Transportation and storage
For high-value samples, it is recommended to provide exclusive solutions such as shockproof transport boxes and cushioning packaging materials to expand sales channels for additional products.
In conjunction with balances and humidity meters: laboratory-grade weighing instruments, drying equipment and other supporting instruments can be sold in conjunction to form a one-stop supply system of "sampling + testing".
Data templates and APP development: provide application programming interfaces for tools such as density calculation and error verification to help customers achieve digital construction record management.
For suppliers dedicated to serving the civil and geological engineering fields, core cutting is not only a technology, but also an entrance to a professional market. By strengthening product standardization, improving usage support, and promoting customer education and risk control awareness,
