We provide a range of pile testing and analytical techniques to the construction industry, backed by thirty years of experience and a proven track record.
Our comprehensive, pile-testing services include:Pile Intergrity Testing
This commonly used economical test is used to detect defects through the pile and is mostly used on augered / CFA piles. The pile is connected to a computer, the prepared top of the pile is struck and the sonic waves through the pile are measured.
Dynamic Load Testing
This widely used method of load testing is a quick and economic alternative to the more traditional static load testing. The pile head is struck by a known weight and the stress waves produced are computer analysed to predict a variety of pile performance data.
Static Load Testing
Static load test consists of jacks placed on pile shaft head whereby hydraulic jacks are used against a steel beam restrained by anchor piles, the piles’ performance is measured against applied loads. The jacking system also allows for the piles to be tested against tension loads.
Kentledge Pile Load Test System
Whereby the required loads are placed directly on the pile / piles to be tested and the settlement over a given timescale is measured.
