Low Strain Impact Integrity Testing is a non-destructive pile testing method for integrity assessments of augered cast-in-place piles, drilled shafts or driven concrete or timber piles. If major defects exist, test results may be interpreted to estimate their magnitude and location. Test results may also be used to estimate pile length.
Why do we need to test?
Sound pile Major defect Bulging Necking
What tools are needed for testing?
1. Motion transducer
Velocity or acceleration sensor
2. Impact Source
a hand-held hammer
3. Data recording (PAD) Wireless Unit
