Our Pile Testing Team

Grimtech team developed the “us testcrete” system based on experience gained from many years of service and hundreds of projects. Pile test performs pile load tests, as well as construction designing works. The main scope of our services is pile load testing, both for piles and diaphragm walls. We deliver the full package of measurements static pile load testing, dynamic pile load testing, and integrity testing of concrete piles
There is a lot of different types of piles in the market, many other type of piles have been occurred in the market and still increasing due to improvement of piling technology. Driving method, type of piling machine, procedure of piling are all take into consideration in choosing type of pile.

We are working on following different Pile testing services

  • Pile Integrity Tester’ (PIT) for Low Strain Integrity Testing
  • Pile Integrity Test – PIT

Pile Integrity Test – PIT performs Low Strain integrity testing, also called Sonic Echo or Pulse Echo Testing. Pile Integrity Test – PIT may be used for auger cast-in-place (CFA) piles, drilled shafts, driven concrete piles, concrete filled pipes and timber piles. It detects potentially dangerous defects such as major cracks, necking, soil inclusions or voids and, in some situations, can determine unknown lengths of piles that support existing bridges or towers.

Pile Integrity Test – PIT test consists of attaching an accelerometer to the top or side of the foundation to be tested. The accelerometer acquires data resulting from the impact of a small hand held hammer (instrumented or not). If a defect is present along the shaft, its size and location can be estimated by analyzing the propagation and reflection of the wave induced on the foundation by the ammer impact. It is also possible to estimate the depth of the pile toe.

The Pile Integrity TesterPIT gives peace of mind that a pile or shaft is free of major cracks and voids, prior to construction of the superstructure. A pile integrity test is also known as low strain dynamic test, sonic echo test, and low strain integrity test. This integrity test is one of the methods for assessing the condition of piles or shafts. It is cost effective and not very time consuming.

Dynamic Pile Testing (DPT)

Dynamic load testingDPT is a cost effective alternative to conventional static load testing for a wide variety of pile types and sites. Instead of costly proof-loading with kentledge or anchor piles, the technique uses a heavy falling weight such as a piling hammer to impart a short duration impact to the pile head, whilst monitoring the pile response using temporarily attached transducers. The pile response to dynamic loading may be used to provide the foundation designer with an interpreted pile capacity, and can usually provide additional information that is difficult to obtain via static load testing.

We are specialist in following services:

  • Non-destructive testing of piles utilizing the High Strain Dynamic Pile Testing.
  • Low Strain Pile Integrity Testing.
  • Sonic Integrity Logging methods.
  • Vibration Monitoring.
  • Sound Measurement.

Cross Hole Sonic Logging (CHSL)

The Cross Hole Sonic LoggingCHSL is used to detect defects in concrete structures and in other solid structures such as rock or concrete-rock interfaces. Defects that may be detected using sonic logging include: honeycombing; segregation due to improper concrete placement methods, washout of cement due to groundwater flow, cracks in pile shafts due to shrinkage, inclusion of foreign material causing contamination of concrete, necking and arching of piles due to collapse of side walls during withdrawal of temporary liners.
