    REAL-TIME
    EXCAVATION INSPECTION
    Remove the uncertainty of drilled shaft excavation inspection with
    SONICaliper™. Using sonar technology, it provides a full 360-degree,
    three dimensional measurement of shaft excavations for a profile of
    shape, alignment and verticality. With immediate detailed results,
    engineers, designers and contractors know that shafts have been
    constructed according to specification and meet quality standards.

    The SONICaliper is a cost-effective quality shape, volume and verticality of the


    control and quality assurance tool for deep excavation. SONICaliper provides this
    foundation excavations such as drilled detailed information in an hour or less.
    shafts, slurry walls (barrettes) and secant Effective in dry, water, polymer or mineral
    pile walls. SONICaliper’s operation is slurry environments, SONICaliper provides
    independent of drill rigs and other outstanding results in real-time display.

    that allows for pro-active management of
    conditions in the excavation prior to
    construction proceeding. Anomolous and
    non-spec conditions may be evaluated for
    impacts to shaft quality prior to the
    reinforcing cage insertion and concrete
