Plate load testing

Measuring penetration over time

Ensure reliable foundations and long-term ground stability for your next project with our comprehensive plate load testing services. By applying a load through a rigid plate and measuring penetration over time, we accurately determine critical soil parameters – such as the estimated ultimate bearing capacity, shear strength and modulus of sub-grade reaction of the material tested.​

Why plate load testing?

• Accurate data: gain essential insights into soil strength and deformation characteristics.
• Versatile setup: tests can be performed at ground level or in shallow pits/trenches.
• Practical solutions: ideal for verifying working platforms for cranes, piling rigs, and other heavy machinery.
