Pile Driving Monitor
The most advanced technology for monitoring pile installation and dynamic movements of structures.
Because every pile is important
Application
Recording of pile set and temporary compression while protecting the health and safety of site personnel
Assessment of pile capacity
Hammer monitoring
Monitoring of marine piles from a fixed platform or a floating barge
Assessment of pile length and damage potential
Monitoring of vibratory installation
Static load test displacement monitoring
Monitoring of dynamic movements of structures, pavements and rail lines
SPT Monitoring and calibration
Pile capacity
Like it or not, 90 to 98% of piles installed are untested and being accepted using a dynamic formula or simple bearing graph which assumes constant hammer efficiency. For the first time, the PDM implements an improved dynamic formula which adjusts the delivered energy to EVERY PILE. When used as part of a testing program incorporating PDA testing of representative test piles, PDM provides real-time pile capacity evaluation during driving or on restrike. The PDM can be used for final pile acceptance (final 10 blows), or it can be used for continuous monitoring of partial or full pile driving sequence. QC documentation is available within seconds.
Safety
In some markets traditional pile set and rebound are measured directly on the pile during piling operations by hand. Measurement of blow count and temporary pile compression is essential to ensuring quality piling outcomes, but manual measurements present a significant health and safety risk. The PDM is a major advance in occupational health and safety (OH&S) allowing non-contact monitoring of EVERY PILE. There is no excuse for putting the safety of workers at risk.
