Pile Driving Process

INDEX PILES - TEST PILE PROGRAM
PILE DRIVING PROCESS (PG 88)
F Index piles are driven to determine:
A. Subsurface Conditions B. Driving System

Pile driving is generally divided into two areas. A. Index Pile Driving, the Test Pile Program B. Production Pile Driving
C. Pile Capacity

F Are exploratory in nature and shall generally be driven harder (within the limits of practical refusal), deeper and to a greater bearing value than required for the permanent (production) piling. F Should be the same cross section and type, and should be driven in the same manner as the production piles.
safe bearing value of the piles - Pile Capacity. nature of the soil. ability of the driving system to do the work. amount of work necessary to obtain minimum required pile penetration driving resistance characteristics of the various soil strata. casting lengths of the production piles required for the work. need for pile point protection (steel or composite piles). Note: Usually driven with a PDA, but sometimes without a PDA and sometimes with a pile load test.
INSPECTORS DUTIES (PG 89)

F Check
INSPECTORS DUTIES (contd)

F Check
all the items listed on the Predriving Checklists F Inform the Contractor and RCE when the plans or specifications are not followed F The Inspector is never to instruct the Contractor in how to correct his/her problem. F If a PDA is required: make sure the onon- call PDA Consultant has been scheduled, is on site, that the PDA equipment has been attached to the pile.
that the pile is in the proper location before driving is allowed to begin. F Inform the Bridge Construction Office of any conflicts F Check that the correct pile (length, size, etc.) is being used, that the driving head is up (stenciled end), and that pile tips have been installed per the plans and specs. (when required). F Check the batter or plumbness of the pile and the pile orientation.

Record on the Pile Driving Log: F Preliminary information (e.g., file #, bent #, pile #, template elevation, etc.). F Placement data including jetting or predrilling prior to driving (e.g., auger diameter and depth of drilling or jetting). F Hammer blows and blows per foot F Average stroke height (or bounce chamber pressure) for each corresponding foot of driving F General notes of observations (e.g., changed from fuel 22- o to fuel 33- o at 31 feet or pile driving stopped at 1:10 pm for 10 minutes at 35 to move template, etc.)
