Pile Integrity Testing (PIT)

Pile Integrity Testing (PIT), also known as Low Strain Dynamic Testing, is a non-destructive method used to evaluate the structural soundness and continuity of deep foundation piles. It helps detect defects such as cracks, voids, necking, or changes in cross-section along the pile length without excavation.

Applications of Pile Integrity Testing:

• Assessment of pile quality in new construction projects
• Detection of cracks, honeycombing, and voids within piles
• Verification of pile length and cross-sectional consistency
• Condition assessment of old or existing foundation piles
• Quality assurance in bridge, building, port, and infrastructure projects

Testing Method: A small hammer is used to strike the pile head, and the response is measured with an accelerometer or geophone. The recorded waveforms (time-domain signals) are analyzed to identify anomalies in the pile shaft.

Standards Followed: ASTM D5882, IS 14893, and other international codes.

We provide reliable Pile Integrity Testing services with detailed analysis and certified reports, ensuring safe and durable foundations for sectors such as Construction, Infrastructure, Power, Oil & Gas, and Industrial Plants.
