EquipmentPile Dynamics Analayzer - Dynamic Load Tester (PDA-DLT)

View all equipment ›

The Pile Dynamics Analyzer – Dynamic Load Tester was designed specifically for quality assurance testing of drilled shafts and bored piles. The PDA-DLT allows for multiple configurations of force measurement. The system acquires data from accelerometers and strain transducers attached to a pile or shaft so that High Strain Dynamic Tests (ASTM D4945) may be performed. The tests require the impact of a suitable drop weight. 

The PDA-DLT evaluates: 

  • Bearing Capacity 
  • Structural Integrity 
  • Foundation Stresses
