Koden Test VN

Koden Test VN provides ultrasonic testing of bored pile walls, checking verticality, diameter and deformation of bored pile walls and supplying data for quality control before subsequent construction steps.

Testing before the concrete goes in

The case Koden Test VN makes is about sequence. A bored pile sits deep underground where nothing can be inspected by eye, and defects such as necking, bulging or local wall collapse can lead to settlement later. Its ultrasonic equipment returns section images, actual diameter and verticality readings on screen at the site, so the investor and supervising consultant can accept the hole on measured data before concrete is poured rather than after.

Three test types are offered. Koden testing covers borehole verticality, inclination, diameter and wall deformation. PDA dynamic testing and static load testing (nen tinh) are listed separately, covering pile capacity once the pile exists. Taken together, that spans the hole and the finished pile.

The company sets out its process as a defined sequence rather than a service promise. A request comes in by hotline or email with the pile design parameters, borehole diameter, depth and the acceptance requirements. Engineers then make a preliminary site assessment to plan how equipment will be positioned for measurement. Testing follows, with data analysed on site using a mobile system, and the acceptance file issued afterwards.

Reports are described as meeting TCVN standards and carrying legal weight for project acceptance, which is the practical reason a contractor commissions the test at all.

The firm frames the value proposition by audience, which is unusual and useful. For investors: confirming a borehole matches its design shape before committing hundreds of millions of dong to a single pile, and knowing whether it is vertical or has drifted off centre at depth. For designers: a measured basis for load capacity calculations, avoiding both over-specification and under-capacity. For contractors: evidence when a steel cage jams on the way down, when bentonite is lost to a karst cavity, or when a wall has partially collapsed, so responsibility can be established on data.
