Strainstall Singapore

Experts in structural health instrumentation and monitoring

Strainstall Singapore is a leading provider of structural health monitoring, instrumentation and specialist testing solutions for a variety of sectors including; construction, infrastructure, highways, rail, oil and gas and renewables.

With over 40 years of experience operating both on and offshore, our solutions help to confirm structural condition, enable proactive maintenance strategies, improve safety and ultimately assist in maximising the operational life span of an asset.

Our key capabilities include:

Bi-directional static load testing

Strainstall’s Bi-Directional Static Load Test (BDSLT) is a truly innovative approach to load testing and has been proven to provide a fast and accurate means of asserting that the design load can be supported by the piles in place.

The test uses a sacrificial pressure cell that is attached to the reinforced steel caging around the pile. As load is applied, the cell works to measure both upward skin friction and downward against lower skin friction and base resistance. Using this methodology, the maximum pile capacity can be determined, together with key indicators of distribution of load throughout the shaft.

Pile testing

Strainstall offer a full range of pile testing services that determine the geotechnical and load bearing capacity of piles both at installation phase and in-situ. Testing includes:

Dynamic (PDA) testing
Static load testing
Pile integrity testing (low/ high strain)

Our pile test teams draw on significant experience and local geological knowledge to accurately determine the engineering properties of both the site and the pile. Testing monitors the behaviour of the pile-soil system during hammer impacts and investigates installation resistance, identifying installation parameters and confirming pile integrity.

Structural investigation and monitoring

Our structural health monitoring service helps asset owners and operators to maximise the lifespan of their infrastructure by providing highly accurate, real time data analysis concerning the performance of structures including; bridges, buildings, tunnels, wind turbines, pipelines and road networks.

Using a range of instrumentation, combined with our Smart Asset Management System (SAMS), Strainstall can design and implement bespoke solutions for short term, long term and whole-life monitoring purposes.

Our monitoring services deliver key benefits, including:

Accurate, rich data that informs decision making
Optimisation of repair and maintenance strategies
Reduced asset down time
Risk reduction and cost efficiencies
Improved operator and public safety

Environmental monitoring

Strainstalll offers a full range of environmental monitoring solutions to monitor noise, dust and vibration on all types of construction, infrastructure and demolition projects.

Using the latest test and monitoring equipment, our specialist team of technicians can provide monitoring before, during, and after project completion The result is a project-specific and cost-effective solution that enables your site to comply with all relevant legislation and planning conditions.

Applications for monitoring systems:

Proof load testing

Strainstall provides an instrumentation and monitoring service for offshore pedestal mounted cranes, which meets the Safe Working Load testing requirements of API Spec C, 7th Edition.

Crane testing

Crane load testing ensures the operational capacity of lifting equipment prior to use. Our service offers operational load testing to measure and qualify the capacity of equipment, demonstrating due diligence and protecting both personnel and the equipment in question.
