The followings are parts of service DECL provides :
A. In-Situ Testing
Including site investigation, Cone Penetration test(CPT), Rock Hydraulic Fracture test, Borehole Camera test, Pumping test, Plate Loading test and Flat Dilatometer test (DMT), etc
B. Pile Loading Test
Static Load Test: Over a hundred piles are tested each year around the country and in the Southeast Asian Area. Dynamic Load Test: Using a Pile Driving Analyzer and Wave equations to perform the test. STANAMIC Load Test: A patent method from Canada to perform the long duration pseudo-static pile loading test.
C. Non-destructive Test
Pile Integrity Test: Using impact echo, ultrasonic cross hole logging and vibration methods to perform the test. Structure: Ground Penetration Radar, Ultrasonic and Impact Echo technique are used to evaluate a structure.
D. Instrumentation
Instrumentation and automatic data logging equipment are used to monitor the pore pressure, rock stress, displacement, vibration, concrete strain and joint movement
E. Laboratory Test
Dynamic Triaxial Test, Servo-Controlled Resonant/ Torsional Column Test, Digital Control Stress- Path Test and Large Scale Servo Controlled loading Testing
F. Micro-Vibration & Earthquake Measurement
Perform a micro-vibration measurement and analysis for semi-conductor plant. Install and measure the earthquake activities via a real-time data acquisition and alarm system.
