1. INTRODUCTION

This report presents the results of Pile Integrity Tester (PIT) that have been conducted
on (4) Spun Piles at Corralium Villa Funtasy Island Project.

Our service is to perform the PIT test on (4) Spun Piles that were prepared by PT.
BATAM ISLAND MARINA (BIM). The purpose of PIT was to verify pile integrity (or if
the pile contained any major discontinuities, such as cracks or reduction in cross sectional
area) below top of pile.


2. PILE INTEGRITY TESTER (PIT)

Pile Integrity Tester (PIT) is a compact equipment that consists of mini computer,
accelerometer, and hand-held hammer. The purpose of conducting PIT on pile is to verify the
pile integrity.


2.1. Principal of Testing

Pile is tested dynamically by pounded top of pile and then analyze the characteristic
of transferred wave. The blow is done by hand hammer, which has soft head, so the
deformation of pile will not significant and it remain in elastic condition. Analyzing of testing
result is performed by one dimensional wave theory. When waves transfer along the pile,
wave of blow will reflect if there is any pile impedance change.


2.2. PIT Equipment & Test Preparation

The transferring wave due to given blow will be measured by sensitive accelerometer, which
installed at the top pile surface, If piles has damage in certain location, the wave will be
reflected. The reflecting wave will be measured by an accelerometer and will be recorded by
the computer.

Ideally, the testing with PIT equipment must be done on smooth surface, where a
single blow is sufficient. However, rough surface of top pile will cause double blows. Thus,
the top of pile has to be smoothened by a grinding tool where the blow of hand hammer must
be at the point of accelerometer.

2.3. Test Procedure

PIT test will be carried out in accordance with ASTM D5882-00. The analyzing of pile
integrity is based on characteristic interpretation of recorded wave velocity. The damage of
cross section will be shown by reflection of the velocity curve at that particular location.

Integrity testing is performed by affixing an accelerometer to the pile top and striking the pile
with a hand-held hammer. Since the hammer impact causes a low strain wave to travel down
the pile, the term low strain integrity testing is adopted.
