Integrity Testing is a name given to the non-destructive testing of piled foundations. It was used or started back in the late 1960s and has developed over the years by many companies. For example, in Europe by CEBTP, in Asia and Australia by Integrity Testing, and in the USA by GRL. From these three companies there are many users of the test equipment.

Some Background

World wide over 70% of bridge failures are due to failures of foundations.

The phrase "Integrity Testing" of late is being used in the context of employment testing of prospective candidates especially for the attribute of integrity in them. This test is being used more often in senior executives for financial integrity, sales executives for the attribute of diligence and others in drug abuse, alcoholism and so on.
