Pile Driving Analysis Service

GROUND has engineers and equipment capable of performing high strain dynamic testing of driven piles during pile installation. The use of PDA during driving of piles (steel piles, concrete piles, timber piles) provides information such as pile capacity, tensile stress, compressive stress, hammer energy, damage, and other properties for each impact of the pile hammer. This information allows for a reduced factor of safety during construction, which generally results in reduced pile lengths and minimizes the potential for pile damage.
