Driving piles process involves intensive
accelerations, and sharp movements. As a result, the life
time of measuring instruments and sensors is short and the
accuracy is limited.
TomTech III
solved the problem by applying a magnetic, non contact, displacement
sensor.
The magnetic sensor, together with the impressive
abilities of TomTech III, provide
a state of the art monitoring solution for the driven piles
application.
Besides the pile penetrated depth, the system
counts hammer’s blows, measures the energy of each strike,
together with the time – in order to monitor the real
transmitted energy for a certain interval, including blows
rate and penetrating velocity.
The software also includes:
•
Re-driving of piles.
•
Aligned piles.
•
Stop driving.
•
Continue graphic monitoring.
• Automatic
registration of parameters.
• On
site previous piles observation.
• Self
test and auto calibrate.
• Automatic
report generator.
•
Parametric depth interval.
•
Metric, Imperial and ISO units.
The main display monitors the driving
process by variety of indicators.
The operator may dynamically adjust them to his needs.
The blows per depth counter is flexible
and can be set to confirm any standard.
The software may even monitor a “running” interval
– a variable window which constantly follows the current
depth.
From small hammers to big rigs, from limited
sites to large piles - TomTech III
supplies you with accurate measurements and reliable reports.
TomTech III
for Driven Piles supports concrete, steel, or wooden piles,
as well as on land or off shore sites.
As a member
of TomTech III family, the driven
piles Application enjoys all the special features, layers
and capabilities of the family.
The green picture to
the right demonstrates the three dimensional ability of the software – to present the
real vertical tilt angle, together with the real horizontal
orientation.
The units are degrees, or the popular 1 to X ratio.
