SHAFT AREA PROFILE EVALUATOR (SHAPE®)
A cost-effective QA testing device providing a visual representation of a drilled foundation excavation prior to concrete pouring in either wet or dry conditions.
Wireless acquisition calculations of a drilled excavation to determine shaft verticality, radius, and volume, with 360-degree, 2D, and 3D profile views
Data acquisition at a rate of approximately one scan per second with eight channels scanned simultaneously
Quick connection to Kelly bar or can be used with a top-mount winch system
DESCRIPTION
SHAPE® is a cost-effective quality assurance testing device used for deep foundations such as drilled shafts, slurry walls, barrettes and more to determine the excavation verticality and profile. It provides superior performance over testing limitations experienced with a sonic caliper due to the density of slurry walls.
Drilled shafts are rarely ideal cylinders and irregularities can affect capacity and design. SHAPE® better characterizes the three-dimensional shape of drilled shafts, bored piles and other excavated deep foundation elements. SHAPE® provides a fast, economical visual representation of the foundation verticality prior to placing concrete in wet or dry excavations. The results of SHAPE measurement provide more details compared to other sonic caliper tools.
SHAPE offers:
• Three systems to fit your excavation needs – SHAPE for wet pours; SHAPE-AIR for dry shafts; SHAPE Cabled for real-time data collection
• Quick connection to Kelly bar or can be used with an optional winch system
• Multi-channel ultrasonic device to scan the sidewall condition of wet pour drilled shafts (SHAPE – standard and cabled)
• Multi-channel Lidar sensor device to scan the sidewalls of a dry excavation (SHAPE-AIR)
• Wireless acquisition calculations of shaft profile to determine shaft verticality, radius, and volume
• Data acquisition at a rate of approximately one (1) scan per second
• Eight (8) channels scanned simultaneously SHAPE’s drilling stem advancement rate is approximately one (1) foot per second,
offering 360˚, 2D and 3D profile views.
