PET
Pile Echo Tester
PET is used to test the integrity of deep pile foundations. PET Uses the pulse-echo method (PEM) for pile integrity testing (PIT). A pile test starts when the pile top is struck with a hammer, and the PET accelerometer records the reflected waves, which are displayed as a reflectogram.

GPC the PDA system from Piletest
It is the next generation of dynamic pile testing systems, designed with simplified software and higher ease of use than incumbent systems. Professor George G. Goble, the pioneer of dynamic pile analyzers, designed the GPC system. It comes with a unique Combiducer and 100% lossless wireless data transmission.
PSI
Parallel Seismic Instrument
PSI uses the well-known Parallel Seismic method to determine the depth of existing foundations, specifically for deep pile foundations, where the superstructure (i.e., the existing building) prevents access to the pile heads. The test requires the installation of a plastic access tube in parallel and as close as possible to the tested pile.
CHUM
Cross Hole Ultrasonic Monitor
CHUM supports Cross-hole Sonic Logging (CSL) for testing the integrity of deep pile foundations. It also supports on-site tomography measurements for real-time two-dimensional Tomography (2DT) presentation. Based on that tomography data, true 3D Tomography analysis can be presented.
