Benefits of Dynamically Testing Driven Piles

Dynamic testing is an efficient and cost-effective way to evaluate driven steel, timber, or concrete pile foundations during installation. Traditional static load tests require extensive set-up, use of reaction piles or a loading platform that increases testing costs, and limits the number of piles that can be tested on a project.

ATL Installs the ForneyVault® System

ATL has recently installed the ForneyVault® System on the laboratory compression machine at its Albany division, as part of a pilot program. The program will be evaluated for improvements to productivity, quality, data/specimen management, and reporting for concrete, masonry, and grout compressive and flexural strength testing.

Mold in Basements

Basements can be highly susceptible to mold growth if not suitably constructed, finished, and maintained. Basements are predominantly subterranean with exterior walls in direct contact with water.
