Specification and Procedures

Under the HSDPT Alliance system, it is essential that projects be properly specified, and that procedures be standardized. Some key points:

  1. Owners or their Representatives must adopt appropriate standardized specifications that allow for proper implementation of dynamic pile testing.
  2. On-site supervisors need to be provided with a standard check-list for dynamic pile testing.
  3. PDA testers are required to use standarized field sheets by PDA testers for both manual or electronic entry of data during testing.
  4. Equipment manufacturers must provide standard testing summary files that can be generated automatically at the end of the test.
