Deep Foundation Testing and Observation Services
Integrated evaluation, testing, and design support for driven and drilled deep foundation systems
D.W. Kozera, Inc. provides deep foundation testing and observation services for driven piles, drilled shafts, micropiles, and auger cast-in-place (ACIP) piles. Our team works closely with owners, engineers, and contractors during construction to deliver field observation, non-destructive integrity testing, load testing, and clear documentation that foundation elements meet design intent and construction specifications.
In addition to construction-phase services, we integrate value engineering to help optimize foundation systems before and during installation. By combining practical design insight with testing capabilities such as PDA, CSL, PIT, and TIP, we support cost-effective decisions, improve constructability, and reduce project risk. Whether your project involves DOT-level quality programs, municipal inspections, or private development, our team coordinates with field crews to collect the data that supports progress and performance.
