Advanced non-destructive testing for full-length drilled shaft evaluation
D.W. Kozera, Inc. provides Thermal Integrity Profiling (TIP) (ASTM D7949) services for drilled shafts and other cast-in-place foundation elements. TIP is a cutting-edge non-destructive testing method that uses the heat generated by curing cement to evaluate the shape, size, and overall integrity of the shaft. Unlike conventional methods that only test along access tubes, TIP offers full cross-sectional coverage of the entire shaft and can be used to identify anomalies such as bulges, necking, inclusions, or improper concrete placement with greater resolution and reliability.
We support contractors, engineers, and owners with responsive field service, meticulous data collection, and clear reporting. Our TIP services are ideal for high-capacity foundations, complex subsurface conditions, and projects requiring rapid integrity verification during construction.
