Piles & Ground Improvement

Monitoring the installation of pile foundations and ground improvement operations to ensure they are performed in accordance with project specifications.

Pre and Post Construction Structure Condition Surveys

Velocity performs inspections of existing structures to document their condition and existing damage and deterioration prior to nearby vibration-inducing construction activities being performed. Following the completion of such construction activities we can reinspect those structures to identify any new damage that may have occurred. Both video and still photo documentation can be provided.

Pile Installation Monitoring

Monitoring the installation of pile foundation systems and documenting installation parameters. Pile foundation types include driven piles, augered cast-in-place piles, micropiles, and helical piers.

Pile Load Testing

Analysis and evaluation of foundation options for structures including shallow foundations, spread footings, and pile foundation systems.

Ground Improvement Monitoring

Monitoring ground improvement operations to ensure they are performed in accordance with project specifications and documenting relevant parameters. Ground improvement methods include vibro-replacement, dynamic compaction, soil mixing, grouting, surcharging, and demucking.

Underpinning & Remediation Monitoring

Investigation into why a structure is experiencing excessive settlement and evaluation of remediation options.

Grouting Monitoring

Monitoring grouting processes to ensure they are performed in accordance with project specifications and documenting relevant parameters. Grouting methods include compaction grouting, permeation grouting, chemical grouting, and flow-able fill.

Vibration Monitoring

Velocity utilizes seismographs to measure and record vibrations levels caused by construction activities such as pile driving, vibratory compaction, demolition, and blasting.
