SQUID™ is provided by SACL which is new technology for quantitative, real-time assessment of the cleanliness and competency of the bottom surface of bored pile or drilled shaft foundations.  SACL also offers the use of Base Inspection Tool (BIT) which provides the same application as the SQUID™ but for smaller shaft diameters.

 

ADVANTAGES

• Measures both the thickness of soft material or debris that might be covering the bearing strata, providing force and displacement in numerical and graphical form

• An objective, quantitative assessment is reported through accurate displacement and penetrometer pressure measurements, digitally processed and sent wirelessly from the drilled location to the SQUID™ main unit

• Quickly and efficiently attaches to any drill stem or Kelly bar for optimal deployment cycle time
