Geotechnical consultant Soil Mechanics has developed a test cell that will allow the thermal properties of soil to be determined more efficiently and effectively.

Readings for specific heat and thermal conductivity can be measured directly and without disturbing the ground as part of a routine ground investigation. It can also aid the design of geothermal systems for more energy efficient heating and cooling of buildings.
