Dynamic load test in Erfurt
Drop weight up to 12 t, evaluation per CAPWAP. For Thuringia, Erfurt, Jena, Gotha, with own measurement technology and travel distance under 1 hour from Gotha.
What the test delivers.
Bearing capacity of several piles within one day, evaluated per CAPWAP. The method per DIN EN ISO 22477-4 delivers shaft friction and base resistance separately and fits where the construction schedule does not allow a week of setup.
Details on the method are on the service page Dynamic load test.
Thuringian basin with Muschelkalk, Keuper and Röt, widespread leaching in sulphate rock, plus thick loess covers and soft floodplain sediments in the valleys.
Subrosion creates cavities and sinkholes that no grid survey reliably finds. Loess loses structure when saturated. Whoever founds here without measurement relies on a soil model the ground has not confirmed.
Dynamic load test in four steps.
- Expose pile heads, apply transducers
- Series of blows with drop weight, measure force and velocity
- CAPWAP model analysis, separation of shaft and base
- Report with bearing capacity and assessment per EA-Pfähle
The structural engineer gets numbers instead of assumptions. Measured bearing capacity allows a proof per Eurocode 7 without blanket safety margins.
Thuringia, Erfurt, Jena, Gotha is geologically inconsistent. The test shows what the pile carries at exactly this spot, not what the ground model would suggest.
Differential settlement causes cracks, tilting and re-foundation. Tested piles are the cheapest part of structural stability.
