Why Choose the GPC PDA System?
What is a Pile Driving Analysis System?
A pile driving analysis system is used in deep foundation engineering to evaluate pile integrity, bearing capacity, and driving stresses. This method, also known as PDA pile testing, is essential for assessing piles during Dynamic Load Testing (DLT test).
The GPC PDA System by Piletest is a revolutionary dynamic pile testing solution that combines high-precision data acquisition, real-time analysis, and signal matching technology to provide engineers with accurate, actionable insights on pile performance.
-
Evaluate shaft resistance and toe bearing capacity
-
Monitor pile driving efficiency and hammer energy transfer
-
Ensure pile integrity during construction and quality control processes
How Does the PDA Test Work?
The PDA test (Dynamic Load Testing – DLT test) involves applying a high-strain impact to a pile and measuring its response using specialized sensors. The GPC system records stress waves and energy transfer, allowing engineers to analyze pile performance.
Step-by-Step Process of PDA Pile Testing:
-
Install the Sensors – Attach the Comboducer (a single sensor containing an accelerometer and strain gauge) to the pile.
-
Apply a Hammer Blow – A pile driving hammer or drop weight strikes the pile to generate a high-strain force.
-
Capture the Response – The GPC system collects real-time stress wave data.
-
Analyze with N_GAPA – The built-in N_GAPA software automatically matches signals and estimates pile capacity.
-
Generate Instant Reports – Engineers can immediately review bearing capacity, driving stresses, and pile integrity.
Why Re-strike PDA Tests are Essential?
A re-strike PDA test is often recommended to evaluate pile set-up effects, soil behavior changes, and long-term pile capacity adjustments over time.
