Pile integrity Tester (PIT) performs Low Strain Integrity Testing,. Conforms to ASTM D5882 & various codes worldwide
Can be used for :

• Detection of potentially dangerous defects such as major cracks, necking, soil inclusions or voids
  Integrity of pile in its total length
• Can determine unknown length of pile that support existing bridges or towers

High Strain Dynamic Pile Testing
Dynamic Load Testing is conducted independent of pile installation process. The test has primary goal of assessment of bearing capacity . It is applicable to drilled shafts, continuous flight auger, Cast-in-situ and driven piles

Dynamic Pile Monitoring
It is conducted during the impact driving of steel, concrete or timber piles to contribute to safe and economical pile installation. Most important results of this test are soil resistance to driving, hammer performance, dynamic pile stresses during driving and pile integrity.

Soft ware used is CAse Pile Wave Analysis Program (CAPWAP) – Determines

• Static soil resistance
• Simulates a static load test
• Static shaft resistance
• Magnitude and distribution
• Static end bearing
• Stresses at any point along the shaft
• Energy transferred from the ram to the foundation.

Benefits at a Glance :

• Evaluates the bearing capacity of driven piles, drilled shafts and auger cast(CFA) piles
• Tests deep foundation integrity quickly and economically
• Checks pile stresses and hammer performance
  Used worldwide for more than 30 Years
• Proven reliable on thousands of construction sites
  Specified by Engineers, Contractors, Government agencies
• Conforms to international standards and ASTM D4945.
