Save money by choosing the correct hammer and piles for your piling project

Here at Pile Analysis, we have the technology and skilled engineers to provide GRLWEAP simulation software and analysis to estimate bearing capacity, blow counts, and pile stresses during driving. The analysis reports will help you to select the correct hammer and piles for your piling project and avoid significant costs and delays.

Accurate simulations for pile driving

Pile Analysis applies GRLWEAP software from Pile Dynamics Inc. to:

  • Simulate the pile response to various types of pile driving equipment

  • Calculate the driving resistance, dynamic pile stresses, and estimated capacity based on field observed blow counts

  • Help select appropriate hammer and driving system with known piling, soil, and capacity requirements

  • Determine the pile driveability and estimate the total driving time.

Experienced pile testing specialist

Pile Analysis has over 40 years’ experience in pile testing. We apply this experience and the available soil information to build a precise soil model in GRLWEAP. We then apply this simulation to any hammer and pile selection you choose to predict the driveability (including compression and tension stresses). The pile driveability report will reveal the overall performance of the pile and driving system.

Wave Equation Analysis – an advanced technique

Wave Equation Analysis is far more accurate than the traditional dynamic formulae. With more than 900 preprogramed hammers, Pile Analysis can apply Wave Equation Analysis to help you find the correct pile driving equipment for your project.

Empty indoor space at the O2 Arena with construction equipment, including a large yellow lifting or crane structure, with a high curved ceiling and support columns. Concrete precast piles.
Construction site with concrete CFA piled foundation and metal rebar protruding from the ground, surrounded by soil and gravel, with construction equipment and green safety fencing in the background.
Three large metal pipes or steel tubular piles floating in a calm body of water near a wooden dock with vertical posts, reflecting on the water surface, with a forested hillside and cloudy sky in the background. This is in the Lake District.
