Good thoughts all, thank you for the feedback, it is much appreciated! I'll try to provide a little more context to help with your suggestions. We have ~6500 sites in the US and another 500 we need to visit
Canada, all requiring a "foundation verification survey". Essentially digging down to...
Accurate enough to feel confident setting a small sign on it. We need a minimum foundation depth of around 4.5' to set the new sign on. I'm just trying to find a more cost effective and efficient way to validate that short of digging a hole. I do like your idea above, that could work....
@Brad805 - Which tool did you use? Do you have name or website you can share? I assume you liked it, thought it worked well and was accurate? I can't tell from your dealership example, did you mean to say the pile was in reality 40" deep(or did you mean 40" diameter?), but the test...
Yes, the piles are small in size, but our customer is trying to avoid removing and replacing with new if we can determine the depth of the piles and as such reuse them. Right now, we are deploying field techs to dig adjacent to the foundation to determine depth and I just can't believe there is...
Hello. I'm new to the forum and hoping to gain some insight from the experts! I have been researching trying to find a tool that can be used in the field to test the depth of a foundation. Typical foundation size is 18-24" in diameter and 3-6' deep. We are working on a project that requires...
