Overview
PSI uses the well-known Parallel Seismic method to establish the length of existing foundations (specifically for a pile or deep foundations) where the superstructure (i.e. existing building) precludes access to the pile heads. It is sometimes the only pile integrity test that can be performed.
- For making reuse of old piles.
- Easy to run test.
- Measures only the pile length under a structure.
Standard compliant with:
- AFNOR NF P94-160-3
- ASTM D8381-21
The test requires the installation of a plastic access tube in parallel and as close as possible to the tested pile. The tube should be carried down to a depth exceeding the assumed pile length by a margin of 8-10 meters and filled with water. In unsaturated soil the tube should be firmly grouted in the hole to achieve good coupling with the surrounding soil.
