Auger cast pile testing

Auger cast pile testing

Auger cast pile testing

(OP)
How long after after grouting an auger cast pile can that pile be tested?  Is there a minimum time or is it only based on the tested grout strength?

RE: Auger cast pile testing

It should be based on the tested grout strength.
I had a contractor test after three days when the grout cube breaks were low.
The pile failed the test and they had to sink another one.
It cost them about a week and a half to remobilize and wait 7 days as they were advised to do in the first place.
