The “material” we work with is heterogeneous, the ground conditions are never fully known, and reality loves to surprise us. In short: one challenge leads directly to the next! 😅
At the same time, we are expected to design foundations for increasingly demanding conditions and higher loads.
To ensure that everyone can sleep soundly at night, it is sometimes necessary to say: “let’s verify it.” And that means testing a pile all the way to its ultimate bearing capacity 💪
Because calculations and models are essential - but nothing builds confidence like real performance under real loading.
This was exactly the core of a project involving the installation of foundations for a new assembly hall and a crane runway system designed to handle heavy steel structures 🏗️
The geological conditions, with very stiff glacial clay, made the project particularly complex. Documenting high ultimate bearing capacities requires high driving energy — yet at the same time, the piles could not be overloaded or damaged.
Before construction, we carried out driveability analyses (WEAP) to simulate the driving process and assess the stresses in the piles. Throughout the project, PDA measurements were performed during driving, immediately after installation, and after various rest periods to evaluate the development of bearing capacity over time ⏱️
By combining analyses, measurements, and experience, we succeeded in optimizing both the driving process and the documentation of bearing capacity - while also reducing the risk of damage to the piles ✔️
That is exactly what we find fascinating about geotechnics:
The greatest achievements are often created long before the structure rises above ground.
Because sometimes success is not about hitting harder.
It is about knowing exactly when to measure 🎯
