FAQ

What is the maximum length of a foundation that can be tested with PI8000?

The maximum depth that can be tested using Pile Integrity Test depends on many factors, and it is normally linked to the slenderness ratio L/D. 

Preferred slenderness ratio L/D for pile integrity is around 30, but in...

What is the accuracy of the measured length with a Pile Integrity Test (PIT)?

The accuracy of the measured length with a Pile Integrity Test (PIT) device depends on the wave velocity selected for the specific type of pile being tested, which represents the speed at which stress waves travel through...

See More

In cases where PIT reading does not match the as-built length of the pile, what can be the reason?

If the toe reflection signal is clearly visible, the reading should match the real length of the pile. For that purpose, calibration of the speed wave / velocity is required. Then the velocity will be changed to make the...

See More

Can we test above the pile cap, or above the concrete deck? And in the case of an existing deck on piles what methodology alternatives can we propose?
  • Above the deck
  • Just below the pile cap

Testing piles with existing decks or pile caps is not recommended with Pile Integrity Method. You should always lower your expectations as in most of the cases results will not...

See More

In cases where we do not get the as-built length of the piles (due to the age of the structure, information is not anymore available), how do we proceed to the test?

In all cases you need to calibrate the wave velocity. If you do not know the expected length, you can always play with an approximate wave velocity of 3.500m/s to 4.500m/s.

For these types of cases, you will use an...

What is the maximum thickness of a structure that can be tested with Pundit PI8000?

The maximum thickness that can be tested using Impact Echo depends on many factors, but it is normally related to the quality of the concrete and the selected impactor.

Normally, the backwall is clearly visible in...

See More

What is the impactor I should select for PI8000?

That depends on the size of the element to be tested. The bigger the impactor, the lower the frequency it creates. Low frequency waves are able to travel further, however its resolution is poorer so they are not as good as...

See More

How often does the Pundit PI8000 need to be recalibrated?

Recalibration of the apparatus is not required. ASTM does not specify a period for PIT or IE recalibration. Sensor calibrations are no relevant unless both force and acceleration are measured, which is not the case.

Only...

See More

When using PIT or IE, does the reflection from the reinforcement mask the signal from voids / bottom of the pile / backwall?

With a normal amount of reinforcement there should not be any problem, as air and voids signal reflection is way bigger than the reflection from the reinforcement.


Any TIPS on the use of Pundit PI8000 data processing?

Do as many impacts as possible per spot.

Try to be careful while testing: cleaning the surface is really important, coupling the signal is a key aspect, applying constant pressure on the sensor, applying constant force on...

See More

How do the high pass and low pass filtering help in the final representation of the PIT / IE output? 

High and low pass filters are a very useful feature to eliminate the signal noise and to allow the user to better understand the signal.
