Deep foundations provide the key support for most heavy structures but how can you confirm your newly installed foundations will function as specified? The answer often is integrity testing, a critical, yet underutilized, test method for projects with deep foundations.
Integrity testing is valuable for any kind of deep foundation project which can include, high rises, bridges, transmission poles/towers as well as docks and wharfs. These projects often present numerous factors which can influence the type of integrity test best suited for the project from soil resistance, material properties (strength, density, etc.), reinforcement within the deep foundation, and the length of the deep foundation. However, these conditions all can be accounted for with integrity testing.
Watch the recorded version of the webinar as our experts, Matt Glisson, PE and John A. Focht III, PE take a close look at the benefits of integrity testing and why this kind of testing should be considered more often by project owners and structural engineers. You’ll also learn which test will help keep your project out of “deep” trouble.
