CFI's Driven Pile Academy: Hosted by the PDCA

Driven piles effectively provide some metric to assess pile integrity and resistance through the monitoring of the driving resistance Testing needed to get most benefit (low F.S. or high PHI), Significant set-up allows significant savings Dynamic Testing is highly beneficial (lowers total costs), particularly to design build or value engineering. Lowest project cost results from more testing Intelligent use of design phase test programs can reduce unknowns and drastically lower overall foundation cost Summary
