In this case study the $118 Million interchange reconfiguration was initiated to create a smoother, more efficient transition for heavy airport traffic flow on the Beachline Expressway.

During a bi-directional static load test, the deep foundation element is instrumented to provide information about soil and foundation response to load. GRL cells can be installed in drilled shafts, augercast piles, drilled displacement piles and barrettes.

APPLE Load Testing Systems are available with a range of modular weights from 1 to 80 tons.

APPLE Dynamic Load Testing Systems are an attractive alternative to static testing of any deep foundation and are designed to activate a large range of test loads.

GRL’s APPLE dynamic load testing systems can be configured for a wide range of weights and delivered to projects anywhere in the continental USA.

Using APPLE drop weight systems, GRL Engineers can perform high strain dynamic load tests on drilled shafts and driven piles.

GRL Engineers offers bi-directional static load tests using a pressurized GRL-CELL.

GRL Engineers use the Bi-Directional Static Load Test on deep foundations to determine load capacity.

GRL Engineers perform Dynamic Pile Monitoring to obtain and evaluate driving system performance, driving stresses, pile integrity, as well as the soil resistance magnitude and resistance distribution.

GRL Engineers perform dynamic testing for driven piles using a Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) and simulate static load tests with CAPWAP software to compare compression and tension stresses.

High strain dynamic load tests are performed by installing accelerometers and strain sensors on a pile and using a Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) to monitor pile driving and hammer impact.

Concrete quality is tested by GRL Engineers using crosshole sonic logging (CSL) methods.
