STATIC LOAD TESTING – SLT – O CELL TESTING

Traditionally, static loading test was the most common way of testing pile foundations.  There are several accepted procedures to set-up and perform static loading tests, which are explained in detail in ASTM D1143 (Compressive Test), ASTM D3689 (Tension Test) and ASTM D3966 (Lateral Test).  SACL Engineers have developed automated testing systems and data acquisition software to eliminate human error and to increase the reliability and accuracy of measurements in loading tests.  With our specialized in-house expertise and advanced technology, we can perform tests of high complexity while capturing applied loads and displacements at high frequency (complete reading of load and displacement gauges every second) and exceptional accuracy. SACL’s Engineers have performed over hundred tests in North America and overseas, including the design of high-load reaction frames and specific testing adapted to special site conditions.

 

ADVANTAGES

• Highly accurate

• Experienced personnel

• All reading of load and displacements are taken simultaneously
