D.W. Kozera, Inc. offers low-strain integrity testing services, commonly referred to as Pile Integrity Testing (PIT) to evaluate the integrity and continuity of deep foundation elements such as drilled shafts, auger cast piles, and driven concrete piles. Also known as sonic echo or pulse-echo testing, this method provides a quick, non-invasive way to identify potential defects such as major cracks, necking, or voids without excavation or load application.
Our engineers and technicians conduct testing, interpret wave reflections, and deliver clear reports with visual data. Whether you’re performing quality assurance during construction or investigating an existing foundation, our low-strain testing helps reduce uncertainty and supports confident decision-making.
