Decisions Made on Sound Data
The use of Pile Driving Analysis (PDA) on driven pile foundation projects has been recognized by the industry as the preferred method for determining critical pile driving criteria. The ability to determine pile capacity and lengths, detect pile damage, and ensure pile integrity is of immeasurable value to the designer. By determining actual required driving depths and capacity, excessive pile lengths and driving is reduced. With on-site computers and printing capabilities, real-time results can be delivered to the client.
