PILE TESTING

 

PILE DRIVING ANALYZER® (PDA) SYSTEM

High strain dynamic load testing and pile driving monitoring system. Perform dynamic load testing on most types of deep foundations.

  • Calculate bearing capacity and assess structural integrity
  • Assess driving stresses and hammer performance
  • Available in cabled or wireless versions
  • Complete with CAPWAP®, GRLWEAP, and iCAP® software, as well as PDIPLOT to summarize results

PILE INTEGRITY TESTER (PIT)

Low strain integrity testing by pulse echo or transient response methods.

  • Reveals potential shaft or pile defects such as major cracks, necking, soil inclusions or voids
  • Can be used to determine unknown pile lengths
  • Available in three versions (cabled and wireless): velocity only, force and velocity, or two velocity channels
  • Optional PIT-Professional reporting software allows advanced modeling and analysis

Pile Dynamics & Integrity

 

PILE DRIVING ANALYZER

The High Strain Dynamic Testing is widely used in the lieu of the conventional static load. Additional parameters on pile driving performance and stresses on pile (both compression and tension) are measured by means of sensor attached on the pile during driving.

Automatically plotted summary of data are viewed from the screen during testing.

Quick and cost efficient test for measuring bearing capacity, skin resistant and check hammer performance.

 

 

PILE INTEGRITY TESTER

The low straining test can quickly evaluate the shaft integrity using P.I.T. collector attached to a sensitive accelerometer superimposed on top of the pile.

Low strain compressive impact waves are then generated by tapping the pile top with hammer.

When the downward travelling compression wave encounters a change in cross section or quality of concrete, it generates an upward travelling tension wave which is observed at the pile top.
