Founded in 1991, LOADTEST specializes in bi-directional deep foundation load testing using the award winning Osterberg Cell® (O-cell®). Dr. Jorj Osterberg invented and developed the O-cell to meet the construction industry's need for an innovative effective method to test high capacity piles. Recognizing this need, LOADTEST, Inc. was formed to capitalize on this unique method of deep foundation testing. Today, LOADTEST has conducted over 900 O-cell tests in 32 countries around the world. Through research and hard work, Loadtest is a recognized leader in deep foundation testing.
No job is too big or too small to enjoy the advantages of the O-cell. It can be used to isolate portions of a drilled shaft or pile for testing, or can be used to test multiple levels within the same pile. Loadtest services include load testing equipment and installation assistance as well as full planning, specification support, field load testing and analytical services.
Deep foundation testing services also include lateral testing, cross hole sonic logging and sonar-based pile/shaft callipering, making LOADTEST a full-service foundation testing company. Visit our Products & Services page for more information.
