FOUNDATION TESTING

McMahon & Mann’s engineers have been retained on a number of projects involving testing of piles and caissons. This includes designing and managing a pullout test on drilled shafts in Syracuse, New York and a lateral load test on a large diameter drilled shaft in Queens, New York. McMahon & Mann is also experienced with static and dynamic load testing piles including analysis of pile driving operations using the wave equation and testing with a pile driving analyzer. In addition to the more traditional pile types such as steel H-piles, and pipe piles, McMahon & Mann has used helical piles and mini piles on several projects where they were more economical or conditions precluded installing the more traditional pile types.
