Factory Reconstruction Project – Pile Length Verification by Parallel Seismic Testing

Release time:

2025-09-29 09:06

Project Overview

Project Name: Factory Reconstruction Project

Project Type: Building Construction

Location: Cixi, Ningbo, China

Testing Equipment: RSM-PST(A) Parallel Seismic Tester

 

Testing Purpose & Method
The purpose of the testing was third-party verification of pile lengths in order to ensure compliance with design requirements and to safeguard construction quality. The parallel seismic transmission method was applied, which is particularly effective for determining pile length where direct access to the pile toe is not feasible.

 

Testing Scope

Objective: Length verification of prestressed pipe piles

Method: Parallel Seismic Testing (PST)

Importance: Pile length directly influences both bearing capacity and overall building stability. This test also serves to check whether the construction unit strictly adhered to design specifications, preventing risks such as insufficient pile length caused by improper drilling depth or material reduction.

 

Testing Results

Major Issues: None detected

Findings: The tested pile lengths were consistent with design requirements.

Reliability: Original field data confirmed clear seismic wave signals, enabling accurate pile length determination.

 

Evaluation

Overall Project Evaluation: The tested piles fully complied with the owner’s requirements, confirming foundation reliability.

Equipment Performance: The RSM-PST(A) delivered accurate, stable results with strong signal clarity, fully meeting on-site testing demands.
