Services
Pile Integrity Testing
Non-destructive evaluation of drilled shafts using seismic and thermal methods ensures concrete quality in bridges and high-rise foundations. Our ASTM D5882-compliant testing identifies defects in CIDH and Auger-Cast piles. Engineers provide detailed reports for structural certification.
Vibration Monitoring
Real-time vibration tracking with 65kHz sampling rates protects structures during pile driving. Solar-powered monitors provide 24/7 data with automated exceedance alerts via email and SMS for construction sites.
Dynamic Pile Analysis
High-strain dynamic testing using PDA and CAPWAP methods measures load capacity during pile installation. Our sensors capture stress data for steel, concrete, and composite piles to optimize driving parameters.
Thermal Integrity Profiling
ASTM 7949-compliant thermal monitoring detects anomalies in freshly poured piles by tracking hydration temperatures. This method verifies structural continuity in drilled shaft foundations.
SPT Energy Measurements
Becker and SPT hammer energy assessments ensure accurate soil penetration testing. We calibrate equipment to maintain data reliability for geotechnical site investigations.
