PILEINSPECT Integrity Testing of Deep Foundation Piles
Coordinator: MAROVISZ HUNGARIAN ASSOCIATION FOR NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING -MAGYAR RONCSOLASMENTES VIZSGALATI SZOVETSEG TARSADALMI SZERVEZETEK (HU)
A hundred thousand kilometres of piles are installed yearly in Europe. Problems can occur during pile driving including spalling of concrete at the pile’s head or point and transverse or spiral cracking. Industry figures suggest that as many as 3-5% of piles fail during installation. If a failure is detected, the cost of that pile is increased 4 times due to the remedial work needed to replace it. If a failure is not detected during installation of the new pile, the results can be more catastrophic with costs sometimes exceeding €1 M for a single failure.Current pile inspection techniques inv…
About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)
The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.
EU contribution: €2.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 3 years from 2013-12-01 to 2016-11-30.
