Pile Load Testing

Piletech delivers reliable, engineer-led static pile load testing for deep foundations and solar piles. We combine purpose-built test rigs, calibrated instruments, and tight QA to give designers high-confidence capacity data—quickly and safely.

Why Piletech

• Deep & solar expertise: Static load tests on screw piles, driven steel, bored piles, and solar posts.
• Serious capacity: Deep foundation test gear rated up to 2,000 kN.
• Fast programs: Solar test frames designed to run high volumes concurrently.
• Assured accuracy: Third-party calibrated dial gauges, load cells, hydraulic jacks & pumps.
• Nationwide mobilisation: Compact, road-towable systems for remote and constrained sites.
• Engineer sign-off: Clear test plans, on-site supervision, and formal reporting.

Geotech-Specific Testing Solutions

• Methodology & test plan: Procedures, hold points, safety & QA.
• Test setup: Reaction systems, anchor piles (as required), frames and fixtures.
• Instrumentation: Calibrated load cells, dial/displacement gauges, pressure gauges, and data logging.
• Loading protocols: Maintained load, cyclic, tension, compression and lateral testing.
• Execution & monitoring: Incremental loads to target, deflection readings at set intervals, creep assessments.
• Demobilisation & make-good: Removal of temporary works or piles as specified.
Deliverables: Field records, plots (load–deflection, time–settlement), conformance against criteria, and engineer’s report.

Capabilities

• Max test load: up to 2,000 kN (compression/tension)
• Modes: compression, tension, lateral & cyclic
• Throughput: multi-bay frames for parallel solar testing
• Data quality: third-party calibrated instruments with traceable certificates
Access: designed for rough terrain and tight corridors
