That is exactly what I've been looking for. Putting on a large deck on close to the water table, and do want piers to sink. Everyone thinks I'm crazy to be worrying about soil psi... Another vid is a guy making a soil probe from black iron, which is great if you don't mind $35 in black iron and some fittings from HD to get a sample for 4-5' depth without have to auger or dig. This looks like a shop fabbed piece from 2"(?) pipe? You're pushing a much wider diameter tip through the earth than the professional ones, was it ever calibrated against a professional one?

I'm confused on your comment? That was a company that the engineering guys use to test the soil? That's a real expert with real tools I'm sure you've heard of Summit engineering

I may have to get this done for a concrete slab. Would you mind saying how much the soil test was? They have an office near where I am.

Normally around 1200 to 2000 in my area This is all dependent on how in depth the engineers proposed details are for a proper install. And make sure you document every step so if it fails you can go back on the engineer firm that gave you a solution.
