SQUID™ Services

SQUID™ provides a fast, reliable way to evaluate shaft base cleanliness and bearing surface competency before concrete placement. This non-destructive, high-resolution method captures real-time force.

What SQUID™ Identifies

Thickness of soft materials or debris on the shaft base
Bearing surface integrity and competence
Shaft bottom conditions unsuitable for concrete placement

Advantages

Real-Time Data: Quantitative displacement and penetrometer pressure readings, digitally processed on site
Objective Results: Provides numerical and graphical feedback for clear, actionable decisions
Efficient Deployment: Attaches quickly to drill stems or Kelly bars for rapid cycle times
Adaptable for Smaller Shafts: SACL also offers the Base Inspection Tool (BIT) for shafts with smaller diameters

With SQUID™ and BIT, SACL delivers advanced bottom inspection solutions that reduce risk, minimize delays, and improve quality assurance across all drilled shaft projects.
