BIT
Borehole Inclination Tester
Welcome to Piletest!
BIT is a test instrument that measures the inclination (verticality) of boreholes, wells, deep foundations (piles with access tubes), pile walls & secant pile walls.
BIT is unique as it uses the auger/bucket itself as the centralizer. Eliminating the need for a heavy-to-move system. The BIT enables fast and accurate determination of inclination in both dry and wet boreholes. Large boreholes and diaphragm-walls may be quickly tested several times during drilling to enable real-time corrective action.
BIT is can also measure pile deep foundations and pile walls which are equipped with CSL access tubes.
