Pile Integrity Test? 🚧 A pile integrity test (PIT) is a non-destructive method for assessing the condition of piles by analyzing stress wave reflections generated by a hammer impact on the pile head. It detects defects like cracks, voids, and material inconsistencies, checks for continuity, and estimates pile length. The test is low-strain, cost-effective, and relatively quick, involving an accelerometer to record the stress wave reflections from the pile’s head to its toe. #PileintegrityTest #
