Pile Driving Analyzer® (PDA)
High strain dynamic load testing and pile driving monitoring system. Perform dynamic load testing on most types of deep foundations.
- Calculate bearing capacity and assess structural integrity
- Assess driving stresses and hammer performance
- Available in cabled or wireless versions
- Complete with CAPWAP®, GRLWEAP, and iCAP® software, as well as PDIPLOT to summarize results
PDI-TOMO
PDI-TOMO is a 3-Dimensional tomography imaging software for Crosshole Sonic Logging (CSL) output.
- Provides a precise location and shape of defect detected via CSL data
- Generates easily comprehensible and professional outputs of the engineering analysis
- Offers and intuitive visual identification of the damaged areas, reducing analysis run-time
- Provides a valuable add-on service for the testing engineer

Shaft Quantitative Inspection Device (SQUID)
A new technology for quantitatively assessing the quality and strength of the bottom surface of a bored or drilled foundation.
- Measures both the thickness of debris layer above the bearing strata and the strength of the bearing layer itself, providing a strength versus penetration output 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 tablet
- Quickly and efficiently attaches to any drill stem or Kelly bar by site personnel
Thermal Integrity Profiler (TIP)
Thermal Wire® System to evaluate the entire cross-section and entire length of a deep foundation element.
- Evaluates concrete quality inside and outside the reinforcing cage
- Accelerates construction with tests conducted during concrete curing
- Reveals necking or inclusions, bulges, variations in concrete cover, shape of shaft and cage alignment
- Thermal Wires® can replace access tubes
