Investigation Mandate

To verify the structural performance and load-carrying capacity of newly constructed and existing bridges through static and dynamic loading — mandatory before commissioning per IRC SP:51-2015.

What We Deliver On Site

Static load test with calibrated weights
Dynamic load test with moving vehicles
Deflection measurement (LVDT, dial gauge)
Strain monitoring (strain gauges, DAQ)
Crack monitoring during loading
Frequency & modal analysis
Recovery test after load removal
Comparison with design values

Field & Laboratory Methodology

Pre-test inspection → instrumentation setup (LVDTs, strain gauges) → staged loading per IRC SP:51 (70%, 100% design load) → deflection & strain recording → 24-hour sustained load → unloading & recovery measurement → analysis vs design → load test certificate.
