GPC the PDA system from Piletest
It is the next generation of dynamic pile testing systems, designed with simplified software and higher ease of use than incumbent systems. Professor George G. Goble, the pioneer of dynamic pile analyzers, designed the GPC system. It comes with a unique Combiducer and 100% lossless wireless data transmission,
3DT
3 Dimensional Tomography
While normal (1D) CSL can only show the depth of an anomaly, tomography can help in the visualization of the shape, size, and location of anomalies. It is an analysis and presentation method of captured CSL data, that projects the logged results into two dimensional (2D) plane or three dimensional (3D) body.
PET
Pile Echo Tester
The PET uses the Pulse-Echo method (PEM) for a quick pile integrity test (PIT test) on a site with a large number of piles. A pile test starts when the pile top is struck with a lightweight handheld hammer. The reflected wave is captured and analyzed by the PET's digital accelerometer to provide information regarding the length and shape of the pile.
