Geotechnical Investigations/ appications:

These tests are used to confirm design assumptions and verify the quality of the executed foundation piles and ground anchors.

Pile integrity testing

The PIT method is a simple and cost-effective technique for assessing the quality of cast-in-situ piles, while also being applicable to driven piles, provided the pile material is elastic.

Static load tests

Static pile load testing is a traditional method for assessing load-bearing capacity, where the pile is subjected to pressure or tension using hydraulic jacks, steel beams, and anchor piles to determine its strength.

Thermal Integrity Profiling

Drivability

By incorporating data on the pile type and dimensions, as well as external factors such as soil conditions and hammer type, pile driving can be simulated, allowing for an estimation of pile driveability and an informed evaluation of hammer selection before driving.

Dynamic load tests

This method is suitable for piles in various ground conditions, regardless of load transfer mechanism or material, covering both driven and bored piles.

Structural Monitoring

Monitoring konstrukcji daje odpowiedź na pytania związane z użytkowaniem obiektu. Monitoring prowadzony może być ze względu na prace budowlane sąsiadujące z obiektem lub w trakcie użytkowania obiektu.

Landslide Monitoring

Inclinometer measurements, a key method for landslide monitoring, detect ground displacements early to manage terrain instability risks. They can be continuous (IPI system) or periodic, enabling proactive risk management and protective planning for infrastructure and the environment.

Measurement and monitoring of noise

Noise monitoring is used to measure, analyze, and assess sound levels in the environment.

Measurement and monitoring of vibrations

Vibration measurements are conducted to assess vibration impacts and compare them with relevant threshold values. The results are documented in a report for quality assurance and site optimization, with preliminary findings available immediately and a final report provided upon completion.

Photo documentation of buildings and roads

Before starting construction projects that may cause vibrations, it is often required to inspect affected buildings for existing cracks and minor or major damages.

Measurement of crack width

Buildings experience loads during use, leading to cracks that vary in form and severity depending on external conditions, structure type, age, and usage. Common causes include uneven settlement, nearby construction work, or improper renovation.

Inclinometric measurement

Inclinometric measurements monitor ground movements and deformations, enabling early detection of stability threats and allowing for preventive actions during construction.

Structural monitoring

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) uses sensors to continuously or periodically assess a structure’s condition, detecting potential issues early to ensure safety, longevity, and timely maintenance.

Strain Gauge Testing in Structural Monitoring

Strain gauge testing measures structural deformation, identifying stress, overloads, and potential damage for long-term safety and assessment in civil engineering.

Planning

At the planning stage, we help select the most appropriate testing and monitoring methods, analyze soil conditions, and assess potential geotechnical risks. Early identification of hazards allows for proactive adjustments, optimizing safety and cost-efficiency in later phases.

Execution

During construction, we provide data for continuous quality control of foundations, pile testing, and real-time monitoring of structural loads and deformations. Early detection of irregularities ensures timely interventions, reducing the risk of failures and improving the overall safety of the project.

Operational Phase

Continuous monitoring of displacements, deformations, and stresses enables early detection of structural risks. With real-time access to reliable data, engineers and asset managers can make informed decisions about maintenance, upgrades, and long-term infrastructure durability.
