DYNAMIC LOAD TESTER (PDA-DLT)

The Pile Dynamics Analyzer – Dynamic Load Tester was designed specifically for quality assurance testing of drilled shafts and bored piles. The PDA-DLT allows for multiple configurations of force measurement. The system acquires data from accelerometers

and strain transducers attached to a pile or shaft so that High Strain Dynamic Tests (ASTM D4945) may be performed. The tests require the impact of a suitable drop weight.
