Static load testing is a low-strain, non-invasive test method that analyses the reaction of a pile as an increasing load is applied at regular intervals until failure is reached. Static load testing is performed to determine bearing capacity of the soil. Test may be done in uplift, compression, or laterally, depending on the situation. Testing can be performed on concrete piles 
(continuous flight auger or drilled), driven steel piles and steel helical piles.
Why Static Load Test?
On sites where a static test is performed, you can increase the geotechnical resistance factor from 0.4 to 0.6. This reduces the ultimate capacity required of a pile, resulting in shorter pile lengths or smaller shaft diameters, thereby reducing the overall cost of each pile.
Why Right Six?
We can design static test frames to meet site specifications, as well as perform the tests and analyze the results. Using the test results, we can optimize your preliminary design to minimize final costs.
