Drop hammer for PDA test of drilled shafts

Our Turkish branch is now equiped with a brand new 14 ton drop hammer for dynamic testing of bored piles. PDA and CAPWAP have number of important advantages over static testing of bored piles:

- Easier, cheaper and faster PDA process enables more piles being tested in a project
- CAPWAP provides resistance distribution along the pile
- Structural Integrity of the cast in situ pile is evaluated through dynamic load test in addition to the bearing capacity
