BIT - BOREHOLE INCLINATION TESTER

BIT - BOREHOLE INCLINATION TESTER

All piling specifications prescribe the allowable deviation of the pile axis from the vertical. Typical limits vary between 1.33% (UK ICE) and 2% (US FHWA).

In diaphragm and secant pile walls, the specification is typically even more restrictive.

Unlike traditional systems, BIT uses the augur/bucket itself as a centralizer, thus eliminating the need for a bulky system. The BIT enables fast and accurate determination of inclination in both dry and wet boreholes, verticalor raked.

Large boreholes and diaphragm-walls may be quickly tested several times during drilling to enable real-time corrective action.

Finihed pile inclination can be measured through the CSL access tubes.
