PDI’s above-water sensor set represent a sophisticated and integral component of the Pile Dynamics Analyzer (PDA) system, designed to provide comprehensive insights into the behavior and performance of piles during various phases of construction. These sensors play a pivotal role in monitoring critical parameters such as acceleration and strain, facilitating a detailed analysis of the pile’s dynamic response to driving forces and enabling the eventual determination of the bearing capacity of the driven pile.
Included in this set are 2 PDI acceleration sensors, instrumental in capturing the pile’s acceleration profile during driving or load testing. This data is crucial for assessing the efficiency of the pile installation process and understanding the dynamic interaction between the pile and surrounding soil or structure.
Complementing the acceleration sensors are 2 PDI strain sensors, which measure the deformation or strain experienced by the pile. This information is essential for evaluating the structural integrity of the pile and ensuring that it can withstand the anticipated loads and environmental conditions.
To facilitate seamless integration, GeoDrive provides an above-water cable with a triangular connection, offering secure attachment to the pile being monitored. This cable is equipped with fastening options to ensure stability during the measurement process. Moreover, all required cables for interconnecting the sensors with the PDA measurement system are included, streamlining the setup and ensuring accurate data transmission.
GeoDrive’s commitment to accuracy is reinforced by project-specific calibration, optimizing the sensors’ performance for the specific conditions of each project. Whether your project requires short-term monitoring or a long-term solution, these sensors are available for both rental and purchase in combination with purchasing our pile monitoring service, offering flexibility to suit your specific needs.
