We perform or inspect the following services:
The dynamic load test or PDA test is performed for quality assurance of deep foundations. It provides: the pile capacity and integrity, the efficiency of the pile driving machine’s hammer, compression and tension stresses for each blow.
The Static Load Test is the most traditional test for quality assurance of deep foundations, providing the graphic load vs displacement of the pile’s top. When the test is instrumented, it allows the measurement of the shaft friction and the end bearing of the pile.
The Fountest provides tests on ties anchored in soil and bolts (or soil nail), confirming design assumptions and implementation of these elements.
The driveability analyis of piles produces a safe prescription for pile installation, including the recommended hammer and its drop height for driven piles, verifying the compression and tension stresses during the pile driving.
We provide the follow up of geotechnical works during construction of embankments, paving, pilling foundations, shallow foundations, retaining walls , among others.
