CHUM


	PET Piletest's Pile Echo Tester (PET) is a user-friendly, highly flexible solution for testing a large number of deep foundations quickly and accurately. Requiring little to no training, PET is a modular, computer independent system that attaches to a USB port of any regular notebook, Tablet PC, or USB host enabled pocket PC. The PET system utilises the pulse echo method. To test a pile, the user strikes it with PET's lightweight handheld hammer. The resulting signal, or reflectogram, is captured and analysed by PET's digital accelerometer, providing information about its length and shape.

		CHUM The CHUM (Cross Hole Ultrasonic Monitor) uses the Cross hole Sonic Logging (CSL) method to perform high-resolution quality control on deep foundations. The system uses an ultrasonic wave sent from a transmitter to a receiver, pulled through water-filled access tubes embedded in the concrete. The measured arrival time and energy are strongly related to concrete quality. Additional methods supported by the CHUM are Single Hole Ultrasonic Testing (SHUT) and Tomography (Two and three-dimensional).
