High Strain Dynamic Pile Testing or PDA testing is a method to determine STATIC PILE CAPACITY using a dynamic impact. The method involves measurement of force and velocity response of the pile on field under the impact of a hammer of predetermined weight falling from a known height. The test is used in lieu of conventional static load testing. The test is conducted using Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) and with its allied strain sensors and accelerometers. The entire equipment conforms to ASTM and other relevant standards worldwide.
