To facilitate the project works, CMR Tech was engaged by Austral. The Stone Column Plate Load Test included the installation of 12 stone columns and a resisting structure composed of 2 tubular piles and a beam running across the 2 piles. A column, a 3m x 3m plate and hydraulic cylinders were used to apply a force to the stone column area.

By measuring the settlement of the treated ground under the applied force, the Young’s Modulus was determined to confirm the design requirements.  The work was completed off a crane barge.

To facilitate the project works, CMR Tech was engaged by Belpile to undertake Strain Gauge and Pile Driving Analyzer Testing services.

As part of the Exmouth Harbour Upgrade, a 12m pile was strain gauged at 4 levels and a 15m pile at 6 levels.  The grouted Roto-piles were both tested in compression and tension.  Prior to this they were both PDA tested before and after grouting.

To facilitate the project works, CMR Tech was engaged by the GFWA Trevi Joint venture to perform 3 Static Load Tests on barrettes for the Forrestfield Airport Link Project. 

At 3 different locations, Airport Central, Belmont and Bayswater Stations, 7-9 layers of strain gauges and extensometers were set up and tension tests were performed between 14 to 16 MN.  Over 50 channels of data were recorded to the data acquisition system.

To facilitate the project works, CMR Tech was engaged by Belpile to undertake Static Load Testing as part of the Project.

CMR Tech worked with Belpile to perform both Static (3 tests) and Dynamic (9 PDA tests) at the Greenbushes Lithium Mine Expansion.  Measurements were taken using the Pile Driving Analyzer® and were initially evaluated on site using the Case Method.

A CAPWAP analysis was then done on the data. CAPWAP® combines the measurements of the Case Method with a wave equation type numerical analysis and signal matching.

CMR Tech is equipped and prepared to journey to distant locations for vital pile testing operations. Collaborating with Belpile, our team swiftly mobilised to travel to Greenbushes, bringing along necessary equipment to establish and conduct the essential Static Load Testing with calibrated and compliant equipment.

To facilitate the project works, CMR Tech was engaged by Belpile to undertake Static Load Testing as part of Mungari Gold Expansion operations.

CMR Tech is fully resourced and ready to travel to remote sites to undertake critical pile testing regimes. Working with Belpile, the team was mobilised to drive to Kalgoorlie with essential equipment to setup and undertake the required Static Load Test on behalf of Belpile.

To facilitate the project works, CMR Tech was engaged by Ryobi Compile to complete state of the art Thermal Integrity Profiling (TIP) and Pile Integrity Testing (PIT) at Northlink Stage 2 in Perth’s northern suburbs.  Tests were done on sound walls along the highway and were specifically requested by Main Roads WA.

To facilitate the project works, CMR Tech was engaged by Avopiling to undertake Thermal Integrity Testing and Static Load Tests as part of critical testing requirements for the new Thornlie-Cockburn Railway Line.

As part of the testing analysis, Static Load Tests were undertaken to test the integrity and bearing capacity of sacrificial piles.

Typically, setup of the SLT takes place a days prior to the testing campaign. Highly precise displacements sensors, load cells and other measuring equipment is required to ensure data integrity and quality data capture.

A typical SLT campaign can take approximately 14 hours with testing including the Serviceability Loads (Ps) and Geotechnical Loads (Pg).

To facilitate the project works CMR Tech was engaged to undertake Pile Integrity Testing of several piles supporting traffic bridges and footbridges. 

The poor ground conditions were a major challenge on this project, with soft peat soils and a high-water table leading to difficult foundation conditions. In addition, construction of the new structures was constrained by the proximity of the existing infrastructure and the need to keep both Mitchell Freeway and the PTA rail line open.

To facilitate the project works, CMR Tech was engaged by Acciona to undertake extensive Thermal Integrity Profiling and Static Load Testing.

150+ piles were tested over 12 months and several kilometers to assess the integrity of serviceable piles used to uphold the elevated train platforms. With changing soil conditions across the site and with several different drilling rigs throughout, it is critical to understand the integrity of the piles during construction to adapt design if required during construction. 

Furthermore, CMR Tech undertook multiple Static Load Tests on several sacrificial piles to further understand the ground conditions. SLT Piles were also fitted with Strain Gauges to monitoring the performance and behaviour of piles under load.
