When testing deep foundations with Pile Integrity Testing equipment 

What should be the amplification value?

What pile size does this method support correctly?

A new technical note this Engineers page outlines the reasons for attenuation in pulse-echo integrity testing and the matching amplification needed to compensate it.

I have also created an on-line calculators page – so you can calculate wave speed and attenuation quickly (no setup)
