Piletest PET – Pile Echo Tester
The Piletest PET is a compact pile integrity tester designed for non-destructive testing of concrete piles using the pulse echo method.
It enables engineers and contractors to quickly evaluate the integrity and length of foundation piles during construction.
The Piletest PET (Pile Echo Tester) is designed to perform low strain integrity testing (PIT) on foundation piles.
Using a handheld hammer and accelerometer sensor, the system measures wave reflections generated through the pile structure. These signals allow engineers to detect potential defects such as cracks, voids or changes in pile cross-section.
The PET system is widely used on construction sites to verify pile integrity and confirm pile length during foundation installation. Its compact design allows for easy transport and efficient testing operations in the field.
