The Foundation Test Gauge (FTG1) is a compact pile and shaft inspection tool utilising the Sonic Echo test method, otherwise known as the Pile Integrity Test (PIT).
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
The applications for Sonic Echo tests are varied:
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.
