Static Plate Load Testing

Static Plate Load Testing Equipment

The static plate load test is used to determine the bearing capacity and deformation characteristics of soils. It provides evidence of the suitability of soils and subgrades for construction and is widely used in earthworks, foundation engineering and road construction.

Compared with the dynamic plate load test, the static plate load test requires more time and effort but provides more detailed information about soil deformation and bearing behaviour.

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.

Calibration:

We provide the annually required calibration of your static plate load testing equipment in accordance with DIN 18134. A collection and delivery service is also available upon request.
