GRL Engineers, Inc., offer SHaft Area Profile Evaluator (SHAPE) services to measure and report the characteristics of a wet pour, drilled shaft excavation.

In this animation, see how GRL Engineers determine shaft base cleanliness in drilled excavations.

SQUID is used to measure force and displacement at the bottom of a drilled hole, to quantitatively assess the drilled shaft cleanliness.

Using the Shaft Quantitative Inspection Device (SQUID), GRL Engineers measure debris thickness located at the bottom of a drilled shaft.

Thermal Integrity Profiling is a technology that utilizes the heat generated by curing of concrete to assess the integrity and quality of drilled shafts, augered cast in place (ACIP) piles and other concrete foundations.

Thermal Integrity Profiling is used to assess concrete integrity during the curing process.

GRL Engineers use Thermal Integrity Profiling (TIP) to assess concrete quality of drilled shafts, augered cast in place (ACIP), micropiles and other concrete foundations. TIP Testing can be done remotely via the Cloud with a GRL Engineer assessing thermal data in real-time.

Static load tests are performed to assess pile movement responses to applied load which help validate foundation designs for construction projects.

GRL performs static load testing to meet the need of project designs for construction quality assurance.

Using the Offshore Wave version of the wave equation analysis of piles software program GRLWEAP, GRL evaluates if the proposed driving system is suitable for the project and anticipates installation conditions that may require special precautions.

GRL Engineers perform GRLWEAP Wave Equation Analysis to find the relationship between bearing capacity, pile stress and blow count, known as the “bearing graph.”
