Current World Record O-cell Test
WORLD RECORD 31,350 TON LOAD TEST!
In March 2005, a new world record for deep foundation load testing of 31,350 tons (279 MN) was set in Incheon, Korea on the Incheon 2nd Link Bridge - Causeway project. This mega-structure will link the new Incheon International Airport with the new Songdo City, over 6 miles (10 km) away. This test exceeds Loadtest's 2003 world record by 13,000 tons.
