Why You Can Trust Us to Conduct Your Pile Integrity Test | Marginal Field
Thanks to piles, which can be made from timber, steel or concrete, we can construct large buildings on sites where soil conditions aren’t ideal.
Essentially, piles allow the weight of a building to bypass the soft surface of the ground on which they lie, which ensures structural integrity and – more importantly – the safety of people operating inside the building and the structure itself.
However, because piles are usually hidden, it’s important to question their quality, especially in older structures which need demolishing or altering. You may also want to conduct a pile integrity test prior to construction to ensure the foundations will remain intact without requiring frequent maintenance.
Before the 1970s, direct investigative methods were the only way to conduct a pile test. Engineers had to excavate areas surrounding the pile foundations to assess their condition, but this method only uncovers flaws in the outer or exposed part of the piles up to a few metres in depth. Core drilling, another pile testing method, provides more comprehensive information at larger depths than excavation pile tests. However, only a small fraction of the foundation pile volume can be investigated.
Since the 1970s, we’ve developed new ways to conduct pile integrity tests that provide more accurate and complete data. These methods, which may include nuclear radiation, short-wave imaging, long-wave imaging or a combination of them all, are non-intrusive, which makes them much safer and more reliable than the dated pile tests discussed above.
Hiring a team of qualified engineers who boast a wealth of experience and regulatory compliance knowledge is crucial, which is why so many companies highly recommend us.
