A Load Test Is a Controlled Engineering Measurement
Reliable testing depends on an approved procedure, calibrated instruments, safe reaction capacity, correct datum arrangements, planned load increments and disciplined recording. Test preparation should begin before equipment reaches site.
In Andaman and Nicobar Islands, access and ground conditions such as coastal ground and difficult marine mobilisation can influence reaction setup, crane movement, kentledge placement and datum stability. These constraints must be included in the method review.
