Pile Integrity Test? 🚧 A pile integrity test (PIT) is a non-destructive method for assessing the condition of piles by analyzing stress wave reflections generated by a hammer impact on the pile head. It detects defects like cracks, voids, and material inconsistencies, checks for continuity, and estimates pile length. The test is low-strain, cost-effective, and relatively quick, involving an accelerometer to record the stress wave reflections from the pile’s head to its toe. #PileintegrityTest #

Concreting a Test Pile - Removing Ground Water Pile foundations are typically used when 1. Surface soil is too weak to support the structure. 2. Loads are very high, so need to be transfer to the hard strata. 3. The site has poor drainage or chances of waterlogging is too high 4. There is need to resist uplift or lateral forces as in bridges.
