10.1.3.3 Placing Concrete
1 The concrete shall be placed without interruption.
Records shall be kept of the workability of the approved
mix. Under water concrete shall be placed only by tremie.
The tremie pipe shall be clean and watertight throughout
and not less than 200 mm internal diameter. Concreting
shall start only after the tremie reaches the bottom of the
pile shaft and concreting shall then proceed with the end
of tremie pipe kept immersed in the concrete for a
minimum depth of 1 m. Spacer blocks shall be installed as
appropriate to maintain the minimum concrete cover to
the reinforcement steel as specified and/or shown on
Drawings.
2 Permanent casing shall be checked for damage. If
necessary the casing shall be withdrawn, repaired, re-
driven, or other action taken to allow the construction of
the pile.
3 Temporary casings shall be extracted while the
concrete remains sufficiently workable. While the casing is
being extracted a sufficient head of concrete shall be
maintained within it to avoid necking in the pile. No
concreting shall be done once the casing has been lifted
above the top of the concrete. Withdrawal of temporary
casing shall be coordinated with concrete placement
operations to maintain a head of concrete no less than
1500 mm above casing bottom.
4 Casings for driven cast-in-place piles shall be
installed to the approved set or specified depth and in the
sequence approved by the Engineer. Each length shall be
driven continuously. Levels shall be taken immediately
when the final depth is approved, before concreting has
begun. The casings shall be watertight.
10.1.3.4 Preliminary Drilled Piles
1 Construct preliminary drilled piles of diameter and
depth and at location indicated or if not indicated, as
directed by the Engineer, of same diameter and depth as
permanent drilled piles, located at least 3 diameters clear
of permanent drilled piles, to demonstrate Installer's
construction methods, equipment, standards of
workmanship, and tolerances.
i. Install casing or use bentonite slurry, excavate
bell if applicable, excavate rock socket, all as
required for permanent drilled piles.
ii. Install reinforcement, fill with concrete, remove
temporary casings, if applicable, and terminate
preliminary drilled pile as instructed by the
Engineer.
iii. If Engineer determines that a preliminary drilled
pile does not meet requirements, excavate for
and cast another until preliminary drilled pile is
accepted.
10.1.3.5 Precast Concrete Piles
1 After a pile has been cast, the date of casting and
reference number shall be permanently inscribed on the
♦ 10-4 ♦
head of the pile. Each pile shall be marked at intervals of
250mm along the top 3m of its length before being driven.
2 Only the designed lifting and support points shall be
used during transport and piles shall be stored on
adequate supports located under these lifting points of the
piles. Piles within a stack shall be in groups of the same
length. Packing of uniform thickness shall be provided
between piles at the lifting points.
3 During driving, piles shall be adequately supported
and restrained by means of leaders, trestles, or other
guide arrangements to maintain position and alignment
and to prevent buckling. The Contractor shall satisfy the
Engineer regarding the suitability, efficiency and energy of
the driving equipment. Piles shall be driven continuously
until the prescribed set or depth has been reached.
4 The final set of the pile shall be recorded either as the
penetration in millimeters per 10 blows or as the number
of blows required to produce a penetration of 25mm.
5 When a final set is being measured, the following
requirements shall be met:
i. The exposed part of the pile shall be in good
condition without damage or distortion.
ii. The dolly and packing, if any, shall be in sound
condition.
iii. The hammer blow shall be in line with the pile
axis and the impact surfaces shall be flat and at
right angles to the pile and hammer axis.
iv. The hammer shall be in good condition and
operating correctly.
v. The temporary compression of the pile shall be
recorded if required.
6 Piles shall be driven in an approved sequence to
minimize the detrimental effects of heave and lateral
displacement of the ground. When a pile has risen as a
result of adjacent piles being driven, the contractor shall
submit to the Engineer proposals for correcting this and
its avoidance in subsequent work.
7 If repairs are needed during driving to the head of a
pile, it shall be cut off square at sound concrete, and loose
material removed by wire brushing, followed by washing
with water. If the pile is to be subjected to further driving,
the head shall be replaced by concrete of an approved
class.
8 Piles shall be lengthened, if required, by stripping off
concrete from the reinforcement and lapping, coupling or
welding additional steel in place. Laps shall be at least 40
x bar diameter. Couplers shall be approved by the
Engineer. Steel to be welded shall be free of concrete for
at least 300 mm below the weld. Welded joints shall be
made in accordance with the relevant Clauses of Section 6.
9 Repaired or lengthened piles shall not be driven until
the added concrete has reached the specified
characteristic strength of the concrete of the pile.
10.1.3.6 Steel piles
1 Piles shall be clearly marked in white paint with their
number and overall length. In addition, each pile shall be
marked at intervals of 250mm along the top of 3m of its
length before being driven.
2 If steel piles are to be pre-coated, the preparation of
surfaces and the application of the coating shall be carried
out by experienced specialist labor.
3 Surface preparation, priming and protective coats
shall conform to the requirements of Section 7 “Paint for
Steelwork”.

straightness by more than 1/600 for the length up to 10m
and 1/1000 for lengths greater than 10m. The actual mass
of each section shall be within +5% and -2.5% of the
theoretical mass computed in accordance with Section 6.
6 Sheet piles shall be pitched and supported as a panel
before driving and securely interlocked. Piles shall not
overlap each other and no pile in a panel shall be more
than 1 m in advance of another.
7 Sheet piles previously driven shall not be used in the
Permanent Works unless approved.
8 Steel piles shall be driven to a prescribed set or
depth in a sequence approved by the Engineer. Driving
shall be continuous.
9 If approved, piles shall be lengthened by full
penetration butt welding. Lengthening sections shall be of
the same rolling. Longitudinal and spiral seam welding of
cylindrical piles shall be staggered.
10.1.3.7 Tolerances
Vertical piles shall be constructed to remain within the
following tolerances:

length shown in the approved Drawings or as per the
modifications approved by the Engineer. Any
unauthorized extra length cast by the Contractor shall not
be measured for payment.
