Introducing the Mudskipper-100 at the Tailings and Mine Waste 2026 conference

Geomil Equipment is proud to introduce the new Mudskipper-100, a dedicated Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) system developed specifically for applications in the mining industry, with a particular focus on tailings investigations.

The Mudskipper-100 was officially introduced at the Tailings and Mine Waste 2026 Conference, held in Westminster, Colorado, in the Denver metropolitan area. The conference brings together professionals, engineers and industry specialists from around the world.

The coiled-based system allows CPT operations to be performed remotely, while the machine itself can be operated from a distance of up to 1,000 metres using its remote-control system. This provides operators with considerable freedom and flexibility in selecting a safe working position, keeping personnel away from the immediate testing area and potentially hazardous ground conditions.

Helix-shaped drive units enable the Mudskipper-100 to perform 360-degree rotational manoeuvres, providing exceptional manoeuvrability and allowing the machine to change direction and position itself without requiring extensive repositioning. This is particularly valuable when working in areas where ground conditions and accessibility can present significant operational challenges.

The combination of the coiled-based CPT system, long-range remote controls and unique helix-shaped drive units results in a highly specialised CPT platform that puts operational flexibility, efficiency and personnel safety at the forefront of its design.

With the introduction of the Mudskipper-100, Geomil further expands its portfolio of specialised geotechnical investigation equipment. As with all Geomil equipment, the Mudskipper-100 is developed and manufactured with a strong focus on engineering quality, reliability and durability, bringing the trusted quality of Geomil Equipment to the mining industry.

We look forward to supporting the mining and geotechnical communities with this new addition to our CPT equipment range.
