Wireless Pile Integrity Tester
- Para español, visite aquí
FPrimeC iPile is an innovative wireless pile integrity testing instrument for low strain testing of deep foundations and piles. iPile helps geotechnical engineers, non-destructive testing specialists, and piling contractors with an effective solution for quality control and quality assurance of piles.
iPile is the first and only integrated pile integrity testing solution for data recording, storage, analysis & reporting. iPile’s mobile app is optimized for both iOS and Android ecosystems, therefore eliminating the need for traditional data loggers, and PC software.
Applications
iPile can be used to test cast-in-place concrete piles and drilled shafts. The device allows you to test for multiple flaws & unknown factors such as the length of piles, voids and defects in piles & changes in pile cross-sections.
Evaluate Continuity of Piles
Test Consistency of Pile Materials
Evaluate Physical Dimensions
How iPile Works
iPile operates based on sonic-echo (also referred to as pulse-echo) method to evaluate integrity of deep foundations and piles. The testing process is completed in three simple steps.
A hand-held hammer is used to strike the pile head.
The echoes from pile toe and/or internal defects are collected using iPile sensor
Test results are instantly visualized on Tablet, helping engineers with data processing.
Testimonials
"... we successfully used iPile to assess the integrity of drilled shafts (piles) in Chile, and I am very happy with its performance. FPrimeC and their technical partners in South America provided us with great support which allowed us to deliver our projects on budget and on time."
Paulo Oróstegui Torvisco, General Manager, OITEC GEOTECNIA - Chile
"... We used iPile for a huge redevelopment of an airport
in Washington, D.C. containing over 700 piles.
FPrimeC iPile is unique in terms of its ease of use, wireless Bluetooth connectivity, compact and portable form-factor, and user-friendly interface. Its build quality is acceptable to all conditions in the construction industry."
