Load & Pile Testing Foundation Load Testing

Verify Foundation Performance

Load testing proves that a foundation performs as designed — before the structure commits its full weight to it. RVCS conducts pile load tests, plate load tests, pull-out tests and pile integrity testing with calibrated equipment and disciplined supervision.

Each test is instrumented, witnessed and reported with load–settlement curves and interpretation against IS 2911 criteria, giving designers and authorities documented confidence in the foundation system.

Scope of Services

  • Initial and routine vertical pile load tests
  • Lateral load tests on piles
  • Pull-out / uplift load tests
  • Pile integrity testing (low-strain PIT)
  • Plate load tests for shallow foundations
  • Anchor and rock anchor testing
  • Load–settlement analysis and interpretation

Testing & Investigation Methods

  • IS 2911 Part 4 — load test on piles
  • Maintained load method with reaction or kentledge systems
  • Dial gauge and LVDT settlement monitoring
  • Low-strain pile integrity testing (PIT)
  • IS 1888 — plate load test on soils

Why Choose RVCS

Static Pile LoadVertical capacity verification to IS 2911.
Plate Load TestSafe bearing capacity of shallow strata.
