PMC was established in 1988 by two of its present Directors, Ken Cameron and James M Young, both of whom were previously heavily involved in a large scale static pile load testing research programme.

Since its formation, the scope of the company's services has been increased from Static Pile Load Testing and now includes STATNAMIC and Dynamic Load Testing; Pile Instrumentation and Monitoring; Sonic Echo and Sonic Logging Integrity Testing; Noise and Vibration Monitoring.

This development has evolved through PMC’s policy of working closely with its clients, tailoring its services to match their needs. In this way it has built up a client base which includes all the major British piling companies. PMC can handle any project, right up to the largest, using in-house resources throughout.

To further its aim of providing a quality service to its clients, PMC maintains an externally audited quality system to BS EN ISO 9002 (1994) for all its testing activities, including field work.

PMC is at the forefront of pile testing activities in terms of quality, experience, capabilities, resources and innovation. Continuous development of equipment and techniques combined with solid experience and quality forms the philosophy which has shaped PMC over the years and forms the basis for future company development.
