At Yashvii Engineering Services Pvt. Ltd. we specialize in providing advanced and reliable Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) solutions for deep foundations and superstructures. With our state-of-the-art equipment and experienced team, we deliver accurate insights into the performance, quality, and safety of pile foundations. Our services help developers, contractors, and infrastructure companies ensure compliance with industry standards and achieve long-term structural integrity.
We conduct pile load tests to determine the bearing capacity and settlement characteristics of piles under working and ultimate load conditions.
The Lateral Pile Load Test is conducted to evaluate the resistance of piles against horizontal forces, which are critical in structures subjected to wind loads, wave action, seismic forces, or earth pressure. This test helps in understanding the lateral deflection and stiffness of piles, ensuring that the foundation system can withstand the real-life conditions it will face. It is an essential part of foundation safety verification for bridges, ports, towers, and other tall or slender structures.
The Pull Out Pile Load Test is designed to determine the uplift capacity of piles when subjected to tension loads. This test is crucial in projects where piles are expected to resist uplift forces due to groundwater pressure, wind uplift on tall structures, or overturning moments. By assessing the anchorage strength of piles, the test ensures long-term safety and stability of foundations, especially in transmission towers, offshore structures, and high-rise buildings.
The High Strain Dynamic Pile Testing (HSDPT) method uses dynamic loading to evaluate pile capacity, integrity, and driving stresses. A hammer or drop weight generates high strain impact, and sensors record the pile’s response. The collected data provides valuable information on pile bearing capacity, shaft resistance, and structural integrity. This method is faster and more economical than static testing and is particularly effective for large projects requiring the evaluation of multiple piles.
The Bi-Directional Static Load Test is a modern testing method that uses an Osterberg Cell (O-Cell) installed within the pile to apply equal upward and downward loads. This eliminates the need for massive reaction structures typically required in traditional load tests. It is ideal for testing piles with very high load capacities, offering accurate assessment of both skin friction and end bearing capacity. The method is highly efficient for large-scale infrastructure projects such as metro rails, bridges, and high-rise buildings.
The Low Strain Pile Integrity Test (PIT) is a non-destructive test used to evaluate the soundness of piles and identify defects such as cracks, necking, bulging, or discontinuities along the pile shaft. By striking the pile head with a small handheld hammer and recording the wave reflections, the test provides quick and reliable results on pile integrity. PIT is widely used for quality assurance during construction and for verifying existing piles without damaging the structure.
The Cross Hole Sonic Logging Test (CHSL) is an advanced ultrasonic method for assessing the internal quality and homogeneity of concrete in cast-in-situ piles and drilled shafts. By transmitting ultrasonic pulses between pre-installed access tubes within the pile, this test identifies voids, honeycombing, or inclusions in the concrete. CHSL ensures that the pile foundations meet the highest safety and performance standards, making it an essential test for critical infrastructure projects.
