Load and Soil Testing
Load and Soil testing have a significant impact on the construction industry. By employing our services, engineers can design structures that are tailored to the unique characteristics of the site.

Our testing involves the direct measurement of pile head dislodgment in response to a physically applied load. A calibrated hydraulic jack loads the test pile which in turn applies the test load to the pile by pushing against a beam placed directly over the test pile.
The test beam is controlled by an anchorage system consisting of response piles installed in the adjacent ground to provide tension resistance. As per the testing-specified testing requirements, once the load test frame is in place and fully instrumented, the hydraulic jack applies the test load in a series of increments.
In the world of construction and engineering, the importance of soil and load testing services cannot be overstated. These crucial assessments play a pivotal role in determining the stability and safety of structures, ensuring that they are built on a solid foundation. Soil and load testing services provide invaluable information about the characteristics and behavior of the soil, enabling engineers to make informed decisions and take appropriate measures to mitigate risks. This article explores the significance of soil and load testing services, their methods, and their impact on the construction industry.
