Foundation Test Gauge

Sonic Echo (SE) investigations are performed to evaluate to integrity and determine the length of deep foundations. The test can also be performed on shallow wall structures.

The SE test can be performed on concrete, wooden and steel piles.

*Please note Tablet is not included

Applications

The applications for Sonic Echo tests are varied:

• Structural investigations where foundation depth is unknown
• Assessing the condition of foundations
• Investigation of damage to foundations
• Investigation of bulbs in foundations
• Inclusion of soil or water in cast piles
• Uncured or week concrete in cast piles

How it Works

In a test with the FTG1, the foundation top is struck by a hammer and the response of the foundation is monitored by an accelerometer.

A windows portable or tablet computer is used to collect the accelerometer output for interpretation.
