Pile Integrity Testing UK
|
Descriptions:
Pile Integrity Testing is a non-destructive method used to assess the structural condition of piles, such as those used in foundations. It involves striking the top of the pile with a light hammer and using a hand-held sensor to record the pile’s response. This test provides real-time data on the pile's integrity, without the need for excavation or physical exposure.
It is commonly used to:
• Estimate pile length or toe depth
• Detect defects such as cracks, voids, or inclusions
• Identify variations in concrete quality
• Highlight changes in the pile's diameter
This cost-effective and efficient method ensures the safety and durability of foundation structures by identifying potential issues early on.
