PILE TESTING FIELD LABORATORY

The Pile Testing Field Laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and equipment for field testing of foundation piles, micropiles and barrettes (sheet piles).

The laboratory performs:

  • static load tests of piles loaded with a push, pull or horizontal force,

  • static pile bearing capacity tests using extensometer instrumentation to measure the distribution of forces along the pile shaft,

  • dynamic pile bearing capacity tests,

  • pile shaft continuity testing.
