We provide state-of-the-art and traditional deep foundation testing services with a focus on enabling design, analyzing and assurance of long-term performance together with assurance of deep foundation suitability in even the most complex site conditions and loading scenarios.

Capabilities

• O-cell® (Osterberg Cell) bi-directional static load testing.

• RIM-Cell proof test.

• Top down and Lateral load testing.

• Split lateral modulus testing.

• SoniCaliper.

• Cross-hole Sonic Logging (CHSL OR CSL).

• Integrity Testing (PIT or SIT).

• Thermal Integrity Profiling (TIP).

• High strain dynamic testing.

• Consultancy.

Applications

Our specialized technicians provide independent, third-party installation monitoring services which meet process industry practices (PIP) and requirements of other standard specifications. Whether the foundation components are drilled shafts, augered cast-in-place (ACIP) piles, concrete, steel, timber or composite driven piles, screw piles barrettes, or micro piles, our installation reports give you daily work summaries and detailed pile installation and test records. We understand the importance of soil conditions to foundation performance and pay strict attention to drilling activities and/or blow count trends for comparison with design assumptions. Our experience includes large and prestigious civil engineering projects such as buildings, bridges, ports and harbors, dams, wind farms and heavy engineering plants, metros and subway developments, for both the public and private sectors.

Benefits

We have been involved in world-class projects in over 60 countries and our specialized resources include:

• World’s largest international load test database. We leverage the knowledge we have amassed to help design the optimal load test program and ultimately the most efficient deep foundation. This helps to manage geotechnical risk; a significant benefit to your project

• State-of-the-art technology, such as the O-cell, providing more accurate data and reducing costs during and after construction

• Extensive knowledge of soil interaction, allowing our engineers to better understand how foundations will perform

• Our staff include some of the recognized world experts in the field of foundation testing a network of offices around the globe, enabling us to mobilize to your project site, no matter how remote
