-
High strain dynamic testing.
-
Caliper logging.
-
Static load tests on instrumented files (compression & tension).
-
Bidirectional static loading test (O-Cell).
-
Instrumentation of piles (strain, gauges, load cells, tell tales,...).
-
Pile lateral load tests.
​
Concrete Integrity / Deteriology Investigations (State Condition Surveys)
-
Impact echo-determination of determination of flaws in concert.
-
