Lateral Load Testing

LTC offers full service or supplemental lateral load testing services. We have extensive experience with all types of lateral load testing.  Services include:

  • Lateral load test design and implementation in accordance with ASTM D3966/D3966M-22.
  • Assistance with design and procurement of lateral load test setup.
  • Conducting lateral load test.
  • Test data report and industry leading analysis.

Note: Others are responsible for setting up reaction piles and loading struts as needed and to provide Engineer approval for the structural components as per ASTM D3966M (2013) if applicable. However, we will provide detailed designs and test configurations for Engineer approval.

Training

LTC offers unique specialty training to our clients for bi-directional load testing. The more our clients learn, the more they can do for themselves. This will lead directly to significant savings. Since we are still involved and in many cases are still on site during critical tasks, risk is not increased. If you need our expert advice or limited and specific services, we are happy to share our knowledge.
