Piletest - Model CHUM - Cross Hole Ultra Sonic Monitor (CSL Tester) With Tomography Support
The CHUM (Cross Hole Ultrasonic Monitor) uses the Crosshole Sonic Logging, CSL testing method to perform high-resolution quality control of deep foundations. The system uses an ultrasonic wave sent from a transmitter to a receiver pulled through water-filled access tubes embedded in the concrete. The measured arrival time and energy are strongly dependent on concrete quality. Additional methods supported by the CHUM are Single Hole Ultra sonic Testing (SSL/SHUT) and Tomography (two- and three-dimensional). The CHUM is fully compliant to ASTM D6760-16, AFNOR NF P 94-160-1 and additional standards
Piletest - Model PET - Digital Accelerometer Pile Integrity Tester (PIT)
The PET (Pile Echo Tester) uses the Pulse-Echo method (PEM) for a quick pile integrity test (PIT test) on a site with a large number of piles. A pile test starts when the pile top is struck with a lightweight handheld hammer. The reflected wave is captured and analyzed by the PET`s digital accelerometer to provide information regarding the length and shape of the pile. The PET is fully compliant with ASTM D5882-16: Standard Test Method for Low Strain Impact Integrity Testing of Deep Foundations and AFNOR P160-2,4 standard for pile integrity testing as well as additional standards. The PET device (PIT tester) can connect to your MS-Windows portable PC or with the Bluetooth version to your Android smartphone or tablet. The PET package for the PIT test includes all software versions, for PC and for Android.
Piletest - Model BIT - Borehole Inclination Tester
BIT measures the verticality of a borehole AND of existing piles
Piletest - Model PSI - Parallel Seismic Instrument
PSI uses the well-known Parallel Seismic method to establish the depth of existing foundations (specifically for a pile or deep foundations) where the superstructure (i.e. existing building) precludes access to the pile heads. It is sometimes the only pile integrity test that can be prefromed. The test requires the installation of a plastic access tube in parallel, and as close as possible, to the tested pile. The tube should be carried down to a depth exceeding the assumed pile length by a margin of 8m-10m and filled with water. In unsaturated soils, the tube should be firmly grouted in the hole to achieve good coupling with the surrounding soil.
Piletest - Cross-Hole Ultrasonic Monitor
While normal (1D) CSL can only show the depth of an anomaly, tomography can help in the visualization of the shape, size, and location of anomalies. It is an analysis and presentation method of captured CSL data, that projects the logged results into two dimensional (2D) plane or three dimensional (3D) body.
