Non-destructive quality check on cast in-situ piles

A test field with 20 cast in-situ piles has been built. Flaws (necks, bulges and cracks) are built in. Existing and newly developed detecting methods have been tested. They show interpretable signals and also some challenges to improve the results. The final phase e.g. excavation of a representative number of piles will lead to final conclusions of the usability of these measurement techniques.
