  • These services are appreciated all over the country for their cost effective nature.
  • We provide these services to adapt to your needs and requirements.

Different Pile Load Tests which we offer are :

Dynamic Pile Load Test (DLT)

Pile Dynamic Load Test (DLT) involves a substantial ram mass that impacts the top of the pile and causes it to experience at least a small permanent set. Accelerometers and strain transducers attached to the pile measure force and velocity as the free fall weight hits pile top. In addition to bearing capacity, Pile Dynamic Load Testing gives information on resistance distribution (shaft resistance and end bearing) and evaluates the shape and integrity of the foundation element.

Static Pile Load Test (SLT)

Earthson Geotechincal Pvt Ltd has equipment to perform Pile Static Load Test (SLT) up to 12.500 kN (cca. 1250 tons). We are using five calibrated  Enerpac 250 ton cilinders with 300 mm stroke, Enerpac electric pumps, Sisgeo load cell and Mitutoyo digital gauges with direct displacement reading on computer during the test.

Pile Driving Monitoring

Monitoring a driven pile installation with the Pile Driving Analyzer® reveals pile capacity at the time of driving, driving stresses, hammer performance and checks pile integrity. It can be performed by an Earthson Geotechnical Engineer on site or via cell phone from an office, using the remote data transmission feature of the Pile Driving Analyzer® model 8g.

Pile Driving Analyzer® 8g, strain transducer and accelerometer mounted on a pile are the same as for Dynamic Load testing (DLT).

During pre-construction test programs, Pile Driving Monitoring helps formulate driving criteria. During the installation of production piles, it assures that driving happens in accordance with the established criterion. It gives information on soil resistance at the time of monitoring and on driving performance.

Pile Driving Monitoring also reveals driving stresses, and helps to prevent pile damage. If damage is imminent, it shows an alert early enough to save the pile from complete destruction. Monitoring happens during driving in real time, without slowing down the construction. Dynamic Pile Monitoring helps achieve a safe and economical driven pile installation.

Data obtained during Pile Driving Monitoring may be used to determine static bearing capacity with iCAP® and CAPWAP® program.
