根據 Stratistics MRC 的數據,在預測期內,全球板負載試驗機市場的複合年成長率為 4.6%。
平板載重試驗是測量土體極限承載力和指定載重下沉降量的現場試驗。它也用於測量地面的變形特性和地面反力係數。此測試通常用於建築物、橋樑和其他重型結構等結構的基礎設計。該測試是透過從圓形鋼板上施加越來越大的負載來引起沉降來進行的,常用於黏土或沙質土壤。
快速的都市化和人口成長導致住宅和商業設施建設的增加。隨著都市區的擴張,對可靠地面資料以確保結構穩定性和安全性的需求不斷增加。板載荷試驗對於確定土壤的載重能力至關重要,這對於設計能夠支撐結構重量的基礎非常重要。正在進行的基礎設施計劃,例如公路、橋樑和建築施工,通常需要進行詳細的土壤測試。隨著建設產業的不斷擴張,對平板負載測試儀等準確、高效的土壤測試方法的需求預計將保持強勁。
在一些地區,由於缺乏對土壤測試重要性的認知,人們仍然依賴傳統的、不太複雜的方法來評估土壤承載力。此外,建造計劃預算緊張的地區可能不願意投資先進的檢測設備。因此,對既定方法的依賴,即使不太準確,也會阻礙平板負載測試儀等新技術的採用。
研發投資使製造商能夠開發出更容易適應不同測試情境和土壤類型的平板負載測試儀。它還能夠整合物聯網(IoT)技術,實現板負載測試過程中的即時監控和資料傳輸。這包括感測器技術、資料採集系統、自動化功能和數位技術整合的改進,以實現更準確、更有效率的測試。因此,增加板載荷測試領域的研發投資將透過促進創新、改進技術和滿足岩土測試不斷變化的需求,促進產業成長。
板載荷測試儀經常在惡劣的現場條件下使用,並且會遭受嚴重的磨損。負載板、框架和液壓系統等機械部件會隨著時間的推移而劣化。需要定期檢查和維護,以便快速發現並解決問題。此外,校準和維護程序需要熟練的人員。操作員能力不足可能會導致關鍵的維護任務被忽略或忽略。這些點都阻礙了市場的擴張。
Covid疫情對平板負載試驗機市場產生了重大影響。疫情擾亂了全球供應鏈,影響了包括施工機械在內的各種商品的生產和分銷。由於停工、勞動力短缺和其他挑戰,許多建設計劃被推遲或停止。經濟不穩定導致建設計劃預算削減。因此,測試設備的投資也可能受到影響,導致市場放緩。
鐵路軌道設計領域預計將出現良好成長。 PLT 提供可用於最佳化鐵路軌道設計的資料。工程師可以根據土壤的實際承載能力調整軌道組件、下部結構和整體設計,從而形成更具成本效益和可靠的軌道系統。提供有關地基承載能力和行為的重要資料,確保鐵路軌道設計的穩定性、安全性和成本效益。
預計基礎設施開發計劃領域在預測期內將以最高的複合年成長率成長。板載荷測試儀是基礎設施開發計劃中的寶貴工具,可為基礎設計、施工和持續性能監控提供關鍵資訊。 PLT 確保基礎設計符合安全標準和規範。 PLT 提供長期監測,幫助識別和減輕與地基失效、沉降和其他土壤相關問題相關的潛在風險。這對於確保沉降不會對基礎設施效能產生負面影響至關重要。
預計亞太地區在預測期內將佔據最大的市場佔有率。在亞太地區,基礎設施發展水平,包括公路、橋樑、建築等計劃,對土壤檢測設備的需求影響重大。政府對基礎設施計劃的措施和投資也推動了對板負載試驗機的需求。此外,日本、印度和中國等新興國家的快速都市化正在加速該地區的市場擴張。
預計北美在預測期內的複合年成長率最高。美國是北美地區的主要市場。北美對農業工程、精密農業和資訊科技的需求正在增加。北美地區是 Agilent Technologies、Thermo Fisher Scientific、PerkinElmer、Controls SpA 和 LaMotte Company 等大公司的所在地。此外,政府法規、環境永續性意識和不斷增加的投資正在推動市場成長。
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Plate Load Tester Market is growing at a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period. A Plate Load Test is a field test used to determine the ultimate bearing capacity of soil and the likely settlement under a given load. It is also used to determine the ground's deformation characteristics and modulus of subgrade reaction. This test is commonly employed for the design of foundations for structures like buildings, bridges, and other heavy structures. The test is performed by applying an increasing load from a circular steel plate to induce settlement. It's often used for clayey and sandy soils.
Rapid urbanization & population growth lead to increased construction of residential and commercial buildings. As urban areas expand, there is a heightened need for reliable geotechnical data to ensure the stability and safety of structures. Plate load tests are essential for determining the load-bearing capacity of the soil, which is crucial for designing foundations that can support the weight of structures. Ongoing infrastructure projects, such as the construction of highways, bridges, and buildings, often require detailed geotechnical testing. As the construction industry continues to expand, the demand for accurate and efficient soil testing methods, such as plate load tester, is expected to remain strong.
Some regions still rely on traditional and less sophisticated methods for assessing soil bearing capacity due to lack of awareness regarding the importance of geotechnical testing. Also, in regions with tight budget constraints in construction projects, there may be a reluctance to invest in advanced testing equipment. This reliance on established practices, even if less accurate, can impede the adoption of newer technologies like Plate Load Testers.
R&D investments allow manufacturers to create plate load testers that are more adaptable to various testing scenarios and soil types. They enable the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, allowing for real-time monitoring and data transmission during plate load tests. This can include improvements in sensor technology, data acquisition systems, automation features, and the integration of digital technologies for more accurate and efficient testing. Therefore, increased R&D investments in the plate load testing sector contribute to the industry's growth by fostering innovation, improving technology, and addressing the evolving needs of the geotechnical testing.
Plate load testers undergo significant wear and tear due to frequent use in harsh field conditions. The mechanical components, such as the loading plate, frame, and hydraulic system, can experience deterioration over time. Regular inspections and maintenance are necessary to identify and address issues promptly. Also, calibration and maintenance procedures require skilled personnel. Inadequate operators can lead to oversight and neglect of crucial maintenance tasks. These aspects hamper the market expansion.
The covid epidemic significantly impacted the plate load tester market. The pandemic has disrupted global supply chains, affecting the production and distribution of various goods, including construction equipment. Many construction projects experienced delays or were put on hold due to lockdowns, labor shortages, and other challenges. Economic uncertainties during have led to budget cuts for construction projects. This, in turn, has affected the investment in testing equipment, potentially slowing down the market.
The railway track design segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. PLT provides data that can be used to optimize the design of the railway track. Engineers can adjust the track components, substructure, and overall design based on the actual bearing capacity of the soil, leading to a more cost-effective and reliable track system. It ensures the stability, safety, and cost-effectiveness of railway track designs by providing essential data on the bearing capacity and behaviour of the underlying soil.
The infrastructure development projects segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period. Plate load tester is a valuable tool in infrastructure development projects, providing critical information for the design, construction, and ongoing performance monitoring of foundations. It ensures that the foundation design adheres to safety standards and codes. PLT provides long-term monitoring and helps in identifying & mitigating potential risks associated with foundation failure, settlement, or other soil-related issues. This is crucial for ensuring that settlements are not adversely affect the performance of the infrastructure.
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. The level of infrastructure development in the Asia Pacific region, including projects such as highways, bridges, and buildings, has a significant impact on the demand for geotechnical testing equipment. Government initiatives and investments in infrastructure projects also boost the plate load tester demand. Moreover, rapid urbanization in developing countries such as Japan, India and China accelerate the market expansion in the region.
North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period. The United States is the leading market in the North American region. North America is witnessing increasing demand for agro-engineering, precision farming and information technology. It has the presence of major players such as Agilent Technologies, Thermo Fisher Scientific, PerkinElmer, Controls S.p.A., and LaMotte Company. Further, government regulations, awareness of environmental sustainability and rising investments are boosting the market growth.
Some of the key players profiled in the Plate Load Tester Market include Gilson Company, ELE International, Controls S.p.A., Lawrence & Mayo, Pine Test Equipment Inc., Humboldt Mfg. Co., Tinius Olsen Testing Machine Company, PCTE - Industrial, James Instruments Inc., DIDAC International, PACORR Testing Instruments and Geotest Instrument Corporation.
In October 2023, Lawrence & Mayo introduced latest plate load test apparatus: LM17312. In this method, a steel plate of a certain dimension is subjected to gradually increasing loads and the corresponding settlement is noted. The ultimate bearing capacity is taken as the load at which the plate starts sinking continuously at a rapid rate.
In July 2022, PACORR Testing Instruments has unveiled a massively updated testing machine i.e. Box Compression Tester (Digital). The testing machine will majorly help the manufacturers in Paper and Packaging Industries to evaluate the performance & quality of packaging or corrugated boxes.
