Pile Dynamic Load Test.

Our Services

A Reliable, Fast, and Cost-Effective Solution for Evaluating Pile Performance

Pile Dynamic Load Test (PDLT) is an advanced field testing method used to assess the load-bearing capacity, structural integrity, and performance of deep foundations such as bored, driven, or cast-in-situ piles. It serves as a faster, more practical, and economical alternative to static load testing, making it a preferred choice for large infrastructure and high-rise projects, bridge, Railways, Metro, Port, Industrial projects, ect. At Global Lab, we conduct PDLTs using state-of-the-art high-strain dynamic testing systems in accordance with ASTM D4945, IRC: 78 standards. Our NABL-accredited testing services deliver precise data on pile behavior under dynamic loading, ensuring that your foundation design is both safe and optimized.

Why PDLTMatters.

Determining Pile Capacity

The primary purpose of the test is to determine the axial load-carrying capacity of a pile. By applying a controlled dynamic impact, the test replicates the loading conditions of a structure, allowing engineers to accurately calculate both shaft friction and end bearing capacity.

Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness

Unlike static load tests that can take several days and require elaborate reaction systems, PDLT can be performed in a few hours with minimal setup. This makes it ideal for projects with a large number of piles, such as bridges, metro lines, ports, or high-rise buildings — where time and cost savings are crucial.

Assessing Pile Integrity

The waveform analysis from the sensors provides valuable insight into the structural condition of the pile. Defects like cracks, necking, bulging, or discontinuities can be identified by changes in wave velocity or reflection patterns, helping to ensure pile soundness before load application.

Optimising the Pile Driving Process

For driven piles, dynamic testing can be conducted during or immediately after installation. The results provide real-time feedback on hammer energy, driving resistance, and pile stresses — allowing engineers to optimise driving criteria to achieve the required bearing capacity without overstressing or damaging the pile.
