Static Load Testing

Static load testing for piling is a critical part of our quality assurance process, ensuring the strength and stability of each foundation. This method involves applying a controlled load to the pile to measure its performance under pressure, allowing us to verify its load-bearing capacity and ensure it meets design specifications. By performing static load tests, we can assess factors such as settlement, deflection, and overall behavior of the pile in specified soil conditions, providing valuable data for optimizing foundation design and construction. This testing process ensures the long-term reliability of the foundation and helps mitigate potential issues, giving clients confidence in the integrity and safety of their projects.

Static load tests are standardized by ASTM D1143, Standard Test Methods for Deep Foundations Under Static Axial Compressive Load, ASTM D3689, Standard Test Methods for Deep Foundations Under Static Axial Tensile Load & ASTM D3966, Standard Test Methods for Deep Foundations Under Lateral Load
