Deep Foundations Integrity Testing – Is Your Foundation What You Think It Is?

By Braun Intertec

Subsurface conditions and deep foundation construction can represent some of the highest risk portions in a project. Structures rely on deep foundations to perform as designed, and reliance on systems that cannot always be observed with the naked eye or inspected with conventional tools adds risk. However, advancements in nondestructive technologies can help quantify and reduce these risks, which ultimately contributes to a safer structure, allows for more efficient design and construction, and reduces down-time and costs.

Watch below for a webinar with Jeff Gebhard, PE, Ryan Drury, PE, and Justin Hansen, PE as they discuss the four distinct nondestructive technologies that can be used to understand the integrity of your deep foundation system. They will cover the 5 W’s and H of using these technologies, including instances where they should not be used. With approximately 50 years of deep foundation design and testing experience between our presenters, attendees will walk away from this webinar with more information on:

  • The value of deep foundation testing.
  • Advantages and limitations of thermal profile sonic testing, low-strain integrity testing and high-strain dynamic testing.
  • When to use integrity testing and which method of testing is best for a project.
  • Sample specifications for testing.
