摘要

The report presents the implementation plan for the use of dynamic pilemonitoring on PennDOT projects. It is based on research into the available equipment and three field demonstrations. Two reports documenting the research are referenced. It was concluded that the Pile Driving Analyzer is the equipment that should be used on PennDOT projects by a qualified testing agency. Specifications for its use are presented. The plan addresses methods of retaining the services, training, incentives for use, a piling database, and future evaluations.
