Static Load Tests measure the response of a pile under an applied load and are the most accurate method for determining pile capacities. They can determine the ultimate failure load of a foundation pile and determine its capacity to support the load without excessive or continuous displacement.

Static pile load testing is one of the most common methods for testing the actual in-situ capacity of a pile. The test program involves the direct measurement of pile head displacement in response to a physically applied load.

One or multiple hydraulic jacks are installed to apply loads. The hydraulic pump is piped to the hydraulic jack applied load can be monitored through strain gauges on the pile or hydraulic
