Governing Testing Standards:IS 2911 (Part 4)ASTM D1143ASTM D3689ASTM D5882

Service Overview & Scope

ATLES specializes in deep foundation testing, offering static pile load tests (compression, tension, lateral) and high-speed Pile Integrity Testing (PIT) for driven and cast-in-situ bored piles.

Engineering Purpose

To verify pile load carrying capacity, skin friction, end bearing, and structural continuity of deep foundation units.

Key Civil Engineering Applications

Bridge & Viaduct Deep Pile Foundations
Port & Marine Jetty Substructures
High-rise Tower Bored Cast-in-situ Piles
Industrial Plant Heavy Machine Foundations

Testing Methodology & Field Execution

1

Installation of reaction frame, kentledge load weights, or ground anchor systems.

2

Application of test load in specified increments using calibrated hydraulic jacks.

3

Real-time measurement of settlement via digital dial gauges/LVDTs.

4

Pile Integrity Testing (PIT) using low-strain sonic impact pulse method to detect necking, honeycombing, or cracks.

Laboratory & Field Equipment

Hydraulic Jacks (100T to 1000T capacity) with calibrated pressure gauges
Digital LVDTs & Precision Dial Gauges
Reaction Truss / Kentledge Frame
Low Strain Pile Integrity Tester (PIT)

Engineering Significance

Ensures foundation safety, eliminates differential settlement risks, and optimizes foundation design lengths.
