Reliable driven pile capacity verification through dynamic impact testing (ASTM D4945)
D.W. Kozera, Inc. provides high-strain dynamic load testing services for driven piles, drilled shafts, and other deep foundation elements. Using pile driving analyzers (PDA) and advanced signal matching software, we deliver real-time insights into pile capacity, hammer performance, and stress behavior which helps contractors and engineers evaluate the load-bearing performance of their deep foundation systems without the delays or the costly setup required for static load testing.
DWK performs drivability analysis to evaluate suitable pile hammers and estimate drive times. This can be a valuable planning tool in preparing a bid.
Our team works directly with contractors to plan and execute dynamic testing programs that meet project specifications and comply with applicable codes and industry standards. We provide both testing and engineering analysis, making us a one-stop resource for verifying foundation performance on fast-paced construction schedules.
