Integrity test in Nuremberg
Low-strain and cross-hole, large quantities. For Nuremberg, Fürth, Erlangen, with own measurement technology and travel distance about 2.5 hours from Gotha.
What the test delivers.
Test of construction quality: length, cross-section, necking, defects. Low-strain from the pile head for the whole site, cross-hole between measuring tubes for the core of large bored piles.
Details on the method are on the service page Integrity test.
Burgsandstein and Blasensandstein of the Keuper, overlain by valley fill of the Pegnitz with sands and silts. The sandstone is weathered and loosened to varying degrees, its upper surface lies unevenly.
Loosened sandstone looks like rock in the core sample and still does not carry like rock. The base resistance assumption then comes out too high, which only shows under load.
Integrity test in four steps.
- Clean pile heads, define measuring points
- Low-strain per pile, cross-hole between measuring tubes if needed
- Signal evaluation, flag conspicuous piles
- Report per pile, documented and legally sound
The structural engineer gets numbers instead of assumptions. Measured bearing capacity allows a proof per Eurocode 7 without blanket safety margins.
Nuremberg, Fürth, Erlangen 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.
