Soil Testing

Soil Testing Using Static or Dynamic Plate Load Tests

Soil testing is an essential part of geotechnical site investigation. Our product range includes both static and dynamic plate load testing equipment.

Our static plate load testing equipment enables you to determine the bearing capacity and deformation characteristics of soils in accordance with DIN 18134.
We offer standard configurations with 50 kN or 100 kN loading systems. Optional electronic data acquisition with direct on-site evaluation is also available.

The dynamic plate load test is a rapid testing method used to assess the load-bearing capacity of compacted materials in earthworks, foundation engineering and road construction. It is used to verify the suitability of soils and subgrades, such as compacted fill layers, for construction purposes and enables immediate assessment of the compaction quality of placed layers, even during construction.
