Pile
Driving Analyzer (PDA) is a diagnostic tool
for evaluating all kinds of foundation pile
systems and is the most widely used system
for pile driving analysis in the world.
The PDA measures strain and acceleration
under a dynamic impact and then evaluates
shaft integrity and investigates driving
stresses and hammer energy during pile installation. |

Pile
Integrity Tester performs low strain integrity
testing, alternatively called Sonic Testing,
Pulse Echo, or Transient Response. The PIT
can detect the presence and location of
potentially dangerous efects such as cracks,
necking, soil inclusions or voids and can
determine pile length. |

|
This
instrument uses Crosshole Sonic Logging
(CSL) technology to determine the quality
of concrete between pairs of PVC or steel
tubes pre-installed in drilled shafts. |

|
The
PIR-A accurately records and displays pumped
grout volume and auger depth during the
installation of augercast (also known as
CFA) piles. |
|
|
|
The
Standard Penetration Test is a widely used
soil exploration tool which involves driving
a split barrel sampler at the bottom of
a drill string to recover soil samples.
The SPT Analyzier measures the energy transferred
into an instrumented SPT rod. |

|
The
Hammer Performance Analyzer (HPA) can be
used to obtain the peak velocities, impact
velocites, strokes, kinetic energy, and
potential energy of any type of hammer with
a visible ram. |
|
|
|
The
Angle Analyzer automatically measures the
angles of installation in two planes (with
respect to vertical) of any type of piles. |

E-Saximeter
- The E-Sax is the latest model of the time
tested Saximeter. This hand-held device
uses sound recognition to automatically
detect hammer blows. It determines the hammer
operating rate in blows per minute. |
