Integrity Testing Workshop
Who should attend? Geotechnical, structural and construction engineers; owners, contractors and other
professionals involved in the design, construction and specification of deep foundations.
This workshop is suitable for those new to the field of Foundation Testing and Analysis, and includes an
overview of non-destructive testing methods (PIT and TIP Thermal Integrity Profiling) and their
applications.
It is suitable also for those specifying the testing to gain basic understanding for assessing the results
presented in reports.
Those attending the Workshop that follows this Seminar are strongly encouraged to attend this
review of wave equation background materials.
Learning objectives: At the end of the seminar, attendees will be able to:
Select an appropriate method of integrity assessment of deep foundations for a particular application.
Understand the basic principles of PIT and TIP testing.
Review reports of PIT and TIP testing of deep foundations conducted by others.

Digital/ Hard copy of the Presentation:

All training material will be available digitally for download prior to the event. It is suggested
attendees download this material to their laptop and bring their laptop, or print the training material and
bring their own hard copy. A black and white, 3 slide per page printout may be requested from
PDCA up to two weeks prior to the seminar (nominal charge will apply). Please contact EPI at
avijit@epc.com.hk if you want PDCA to provide the hard copy.
Attendees are encouraged to use their own laptops for the CSL, PDA and CAPWAP sessions; charging
stations will be available.

A Certificate of Participation documenting the number of hours of instruction (PDH) will be provided.
*At the end of the High Strain Dynamic Testing Workshopparticipants may take a multiple choice Dynamic
Measurement and Analysis Proficiency Test which will take less than 1- hours to complete. The test will
cover the theory of Wave Mechanics, Case Method (PDA) equations, data quality assessment, data
interpretation and basic CAPWAP analysis. The test is designed for those with experience in using the Pile
Driving Analyzer system and CAPWAP to perform High Strain Dynamic Foundation Tests. The best
preparation for the test is work experience following an initial PDA training. The workshop will refresh the
participants theoretical background and be a reminder of some important points. Those taking the test are
advised to study Appendix A and Helpful Hints of the PDA manual, review some of the EXAMPLE data
provided with the PDA, and read the CAPWAP background material. For more information about the
Proficiency Test website: www.PDAProficiencyTest.com.
A Certificate of Proficiency in High Strain Dynamic Pile Testing will be awarded to those who pass the
test. The Level indicated on the Certificate is dependent on the score achieved on the test.
*Please note it will take up to two weeks or less to receive your exam results *
