Plate Load Testing London

CBR Testing UK offer professional plate load testing in London for all civil engineering applications, we provide ultimate bearing capacity, modulus of sub-grade reaction and equivalent CBR values.

We have the latest technology to do in situ strength analysis for site conditions, to support foundation and piling design for working platforms, piling rigs, piling mats and crane outriggers.

Why Plate Load Testing?

Plate load tests, also known as the plate bearing test, determines the bearing capacity of the ground and the load applied to ensure stability and safety.

Our steel plate testing uses equal increments of load application, measuring vertical deformation to provide design load values for various plate sizes.

This testing helps engineers to make informed decisions for shallow pit or deep foundation for all site conditions.

Plate Load Test Features

• Plate Diameter & Size: Customised bearing plates to suit project requirements.
• Incremental Plate Load Testing: Measures plate load for sub-grade reaction in equal increments.
• Reaction Load: Ensures reaction load matches the given load and working platform.
• Equivalent CBR and Modulus of Sub-Grade: Provides approximate CBR values for civil engineering purposes.
• Reporting: Shear strength, ultimate bearing capacity, sub-grade modulus and bearing capacity for each test.

Plate Load Testing Applications

Our plate loading test services are suitable for:

• Construction Sites: To assess sub-grade reaction for piling rigs and piling mats.
• Road and Pavement Foundations: To ensure modulus of sub-grade and design load for stability.
• Crane Outrigger Pads: To optimise plate bearing tests for load testing of crane setups.
• Bridge and Structural Foundations: To confirm bearing plate load capacity for safe structure support.
