Low Strain Pile Integrity Testing

The Low Strain Pile Integrity Test (also known as the Low Strain Impact or Sonic Integrity Test) is a non-destructive testing method used to assess the quality and integrity of piles in a foundation system. It is primarily used to detect potential issues such as voids, cracks, or other discontinuities in piles, which may compromise their structural capacity.

Benifits

The Low Strain Pile Integrity Test is a valuable tool for assessing the condition of piles in foundations, providing insights into their structural integrity without causing damage. While it is not suitable for detecting deep or highly localized defects, it is an effective and quick way to evaluate the quality of pile installations and ensure that foundations are safe and reliable.

Management Work

The test provides a quick and cost-effective means of evaluating the overall integrity of a pile, helping to identify any defects or abnormalities that could affect the pile's performance. The goal is to assess the pile's condition without causing any damage or requiring removal.
