POT Campaigns
Accuracy from the ground up.
At FACTIUN, we know that the success of any structure begins long before the first post is placed. POT (Pull-Out Test) campaigns are the key step in ensuring that the foundation is perfectly suited to the actual ground conditions.
What are we looking for with a POT campaign?
Define the optimal foundation
Direct driving, pre-drilling or micropiles: we choose the most efficient solution based on the resistance of the ground.
Assess the driveability of the ground
We identify areas with a higher probability of rejection and the boundary between driveable and non-driveable ground.
Determine the ideal depth
We calculate the minimum embedment required based on the strength of the soil and the loads it must bear.
Validate the design in real conditions
Tests with different profile sections and depths to confirm soil-structure behaviour.
Adapt to special condition

Adapt to special condition
A strategic approach to the POT campaign allows us to
- Reduce risks during construction.
- Optimise resources and time.
- Ensure that the final design is solid, safe and efficient.
In short, we design and build on certainties, not assumptions.
