HYDRAULIC CATCH MECHANISM

The STATNAMIC catch mechanism is an alternative method of conducting a STATNAMIC load test without gravel and gravel structure, using hydraulics to arrest the reaction mass. A much shorter assembly time is required with the catch mechanism, allowing more test cycles in the same time. With the 3 MN hydraulic catch mechanism device, as many as 30 STATNAMIC tests can be conducted per day.

FEATURES

  • hydraulically-operated catch mechanism
  • calibrated load cell and laser sensor mounted directly on pile
  • tests augercast piles, precast concrete piles, driven piles, cast in-situ piles and spread footings
    available on 3 MN, 6 MN, 9 MN models
  • see Berminghammer about retrofitting existing devices
 

ADVANTAGES

  • fast setup of equipment means more tests per day
  • fast cyclic loading allows up to 30 tests per day
  • easily transported
  • one man operation
