In construction, the integrity of your foundation is only as good as the deep piles buried beneath the surface. We provide comprehensive Pile Integrity Testing (PIT) and High-Strain Dynamic Testing (PDA) across the Philippines to ensure your foundation piles meet rigorous industry standards and project specifications. Inch-On Materials Testing Laboratory strictly adheres to ASTM standards to guarantee precision, durability, and safety for every high-rise, bridge, or industrial project.
Deep foundations require specialized diagnostic tools to verify what the naked eye cannot see. We offer two primary in-situ tests to evaluate the “health” and “muscle” of your piles.
ASTM D5882
Identifies cracks, fractures, “necking” (thinning of the pile), or soil inclusions.
Confirms the installed pile reaches the design depth.
ASTM D4945
Calculates the exact tonnage the pile can safely support.
Monitors the impact of the pile driver to ensure the pile isn’t damaged during installation.
Evaluates the performance of the driving equipment on-site.
Combining PIT and PDA results for a complete structural profile.
Real-time analysis of stress waves to assess pile performance immediately.
Using untested or defective piles can lead to catastrophic foundation settlement, structural instability, and massive financial losses. For contractors, developers, and civil engineers in the Philippines, our specialized reports provide the clarity needed to:
As an accredited laboratory, we ensure your deep foundations meet all national regulatory requirements.
Detect pile damage or inclusions before the superstructure is built, avoiding costly rework.
PDA is a faster, more cost-effective alternative to traditional static load testing.
Verify that every pile has the "muscle" to support the life of the structure.
We provide transparent reporting and realistic timelines to keep your project on track. Whether you are managing a large-scale infrastructure project or a private commercial development, we ensure your foundation is built to last.
