2.3 Pile Testing & Instrumentation
The testing and quality control of piles at construction and post construction stages has become a
common practice in most of the projects. ACES delivers quality services with a focus on safety, val-
ue, innovation and excellence. Our comprehensive pile testing services includes:
 Caliper Logging
Caliper log determines the shape and size variations of the drilled pile borehole to assess zones of
likely collapse, necking or bulging prior to concreting of the shaft.
 Ultrasonic Crosshole Logging
An important very common test to investigate the quality of the shaft concrete and locate defective
zones within the pile shaft.
 Static Load Test (Vertical, Uplift & Lateral)

Pile Load Test (PLT) is most reliable tests to ascertain pile load capacity and behavior. ACES pro-
vides full monitoring of PLT with displacement transducers, dial gauges and load cells including
pile shaft instrumentation, in addition to inclinometers for laterally loaded piles tests.

Facilities
2.5 Pile Testing & Instrumentation (Cont’d...)
 Low Strain Integrity Test

This is a fundamental test conducted on almost all
constructed piles to investigate pile shaft integrity
and detect defects such as necking and cracking of
the pile shaft, in addition to checking the pile length.
 High Strain Dynamic Test

This important test determines the pile carrying
capacity and settlement properties. The facility
enables real-time analysis of the pile data, which
can highlight any pile problems while the piling rig
is still on site.
 Pile Instrumentation by Using Vibration Wire Strain Gauges & Extensometer

The purpose of the static load in compression on in-
strumented piles are to evaluated the
following;
 Load transfer & distribution along the pile shaft.

 Skin friction along the pile shaft.
 Load – Settlement relationship of the pile.

Facilities
2.5 Pile Testing & Instrumentation (Cont’d...)
 Shrinkage Monitoring
This instrumentation using Vibrating Wire Strain Gauges
(Embedment type) is carried out to monitor strain in the
concrete structure due to shrinkage. Shrinkage after hard-
ening of concrete is the decrease with time of concrete vol-
ume.
 Temperature Monitoring of Mass Concrete (Thermocouple Sensors)

Temperature monitoring is carried out during the execution of mass concrete structures of
which the character of concrete is technically specified as a structure with large dimensions
and has the tendency to rise its temperature due to many factors such as mix design and pro-
gress of heat of hydration.
 Estimated Concrete Strength by the Maturity Method

The maturity method is a technique that can be used to
estimate the strength of in-placed concrete in terms of the
temperature - Time factor.

Surface Irregularities Test by Travelling Beam
Three meter long travelling beam device is used to check any irregularities in both concrete and
bituminous road surface. A sensing unit comprising a wheel connected to an indicator provides a
magnification of 4: 1. Deviation of the surface from a straight line is shown on a incremental
graduated scale.
- Surface irregularities tested by straight edge 3m & 4m.
- Friction properties of asphalt road using skid resistance pendulum test.
Visual Inspection Using (PCI) Pavement Condition Index technique
Determine the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of the roads:
In order to obtain a useful condition assessment of the pavements, unbiased and repeatable sur-
vey procedures must be used. To provide for maximum usefulness, the survey procedures must
be easily understood and relatively simple to perform in the field. ARAB COMPANY FOR LABOR-
ATORIES AND SOIL had extensive experience in “condition-assessment” survey procedures that
are applicable to a wide variety of user's needs.
Determine the pavements structural characteristics through destructive testing program
(test pit and cores) for the pavement layers:
Determine, by use of laboratory and field testing, the physical and mechanical properties of the
materials of each pavement layer.
Determine, by use of test pits and cores, the existing thickness of each pavement layer.

3D Laser Scanning is a non-contact, non-destructive technology that digitally captures the shape
of physical objects using a line of laser light. 3D laser scanners create “point clouds” of data from
the surface of an object. In other words, 3D laser scanning is
a way to capture a physical ob-ject’s exact size and shape
into the computer world as a digital 3-dimensional repre-
sentation.

2.10 Hydrology Study
Facilities
Our hydrology consultants comprehensively evaluate
the risks and opportunities to developments associated
Arada Project ( MOI )

with surface water, providing clients with the neces-
sary management and design decisions. These evalua-
tions cover hydrology and catchment behavior, poten-
tial effects of diversions and changes in ground condi-
tions, as well as detailed flood risk assessment, model-
ing and management to enable continuity of operations.
Our consultants source the necessary data to develop
Scour depth analysis using HEC - Ras

reliable rainfall and flow analysis. This in turn allows
them to determine the distribution of average, design
and extreme events in all settings, ranging from tem-
perate, humid to arid and hyper-arid climates.
Through integration with our project engineering de-

sign teams our consultants ensure that hydrological
risk issues are identified at an early stage and that ap-
propriate mitigation measures are incorporated into
the project design. This ensures that the design pro-
cess avoids over design and/or retrospective redesign, producing significant cost savings for the
client.
