Pile foundation is a substructure working underneath the ground surface. We don’t often pay attention to its existence when it is transferring loads from a structure to the soil or bedrock safely and as planned. However, possible shortcomings in the pile design or implementation are easy to observe when settlement occurs. Unfortunately, at this point, correcting those shortcomings are already too late or, at the very least, expensive.

A comprehensive testing program is critical to the successful performance of deep foundations. We at Vidson Construction provide the following range of highly accurate pile testing services that are critical in verifying foundation design parameters and communicating corrective actions as required.

• Static Pile Load Tests.

• Pullout & Lateral Pile Load Tests.

• High-strain Dynamic Pile Load Testing.

• Low Strain Integrity Pile Load Testing.
