A precast pile that has been installed by jacking in. The rig used to install the piles is used as kentledge for the sustained load test. The pile has strain gauges embedded at intervals down the length of the pile.

A sustained load test being performed on a CFA pile. The pile has been formed up to bring the pile cap above ground level

This is a barrette being loaded in compression. The hanging weights are cables that are anchored at intervals down the pile. This provides load/displacement data down the barrette length as well as the barrette head. The barrette is also strain gauged down its length.

A high capacity bored pile being tested in compression. the pile has a weighted cable system to measure displacement down its length as well as the pile cap. The two load cells are summed to provide total load.

A CFA pile being loaded in compression. The pile also has strain gauges installed on the rebar cage. This will provide a stress profile down the length of the pil

An existing footing is being loaded to investigate its stiffness. The multiple displacement sensors are measuring the deformation profile across the concrete pad.
