Drilled shafts are rarely ideal cylinders, and irregularities can affect capacity, durability and performance. SHAPE® is a cost-effective, quality assurance testing device used for deep foundations such as drilled shafts, bored piles, slurry walls, and more to ensure the design intensions are satisfied for the project. SHAPE® has eight ultra-sonic signals to scan the sides of an excavation, providing a quick and economical view of the shaft verticality, radius, shape, and drilled hole volume, prior to placing concrete in wet conditions. SHAPE® offers: • 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 • Wireless data acquisition at a rate of approximately one (1) scan per second • Eight (8) channels scanned simultaneously and built in calibration pulse to improve accuracy • Effective in water, polymer and mineral slurries • Sitelink® Remote Technology • Battery powered SHAPE’s drilling stem advancement rate is approximately one (1) foot per second (300mm/sec), offering 360˚, 2D and 3D profile views. SHAPE® Data Collection Software SHAPE® software generates reports based on data collection during testing. The software allows users to view or edit the collected data with the following features: • Edit Edges – select edges for the circle fit process • Pressure – view how the pressure increased during descension and decreased during ascension • Sensor Data – view measured pulses
