METHOD STATEMENT FOR PILING
1. WORK PROCEDURE
1.1 Initial Survey

The GPS value and centre line of the proposed alignment shall be transferred at
structure location on reference points. The location/ Co Ordination of the each
Medothodology
pile will be worked out, tabulated, and submitted to the Engineer for review and
approval before commencement of piling. Pile point locations and elevations
shall be checked & record jointly. Two offsets will be positioned at suitable.
distances say at 2 to 3 m. points. R, L 's shall be marked near pile location on
rigid structure.
1.2 Barricading
The working area shall be properly barricaded as per the traffic diversion plan.
The barricading boards shall be properly anchored into the ground as per
approved drawing and solar reflectors shall be provided on barricaded boards.
Proper lighting arrangements shall be providing the inside the working area to
work in the night shift. Security arrangements shall be made to prevent.
unauthorized entry of men and machineries inside the working premise.
1.3 Utility Identification & Diversion

Underground utilities at pile location shall be identified by excavating trail trenches and
recorded. These utilities shall be diverted / disconnected with
prior approval from the concerned authorities.
1.4 Field Procedure for DMC Piling

DMC piling method shall be as per IS2911 under specification of bored cast in situ piles. The
positioning of centre points of the piles
are checked by the surveyor. After the point for boring operation is set out by the surveyor the
tripod is paced such that each side legs are at least 1.5 m away from the point, keeping the centre
of borehole exactly in the centre. The bailer is then attached with the rope and the boring
operation is initiated.
After bailer reaches its full length into the soil, the guide casing is inserted into the hole for
farther operations. Insertion of the guide casing to prevent the side collapse and caving in, a
guide casing of 2750 mm length is placed on the top of the bore hole and hammered by the bailer
to insert it into the soil. This will be
withdrawn after concreting is over.
1.5 Boring with Chisel

Once the guide casing is placed, the boring is started with chisel. The chisel has 4 nozzles from
where water jet is forced on the hard soil layer as the boring progresses.
1.6 Progression of boring and addition of DMC rods

DMC rods are added one after another as the depth increases. The DMC head are attached on top
of the DMC rods which has the plunge which receives the water from delivery hose. The whole
system is pulled up by the rope and the D-Shackle with the help of the winch system and then
left to fall free, so that the chisel at the bottom cuts the soil and the boring progresses.
Medothodology
The loose soil produced by boring, mixes with water and comes up and is stored in the wash vat,
where the soil gets precipitated and the water is again usable. Taking out the DMC rods and
Chisel and Insertion of the reinforcement cage
After the boring is complete up to the desired depth, the DMC rods are removed one by one
using the DMC fork and the chisel is also removed. Then the steel reinforcement cage is inserted
and welded wherever there are joints.

 The EPI will develop a Work Permit system, which is a formal written system used to
control certain types of work that are potentially hazardous. A work permit is a
document, which specifies the work to be done, and the precautions to be taken. Work
Permits form an essential part of safe systems of work for many construction activities.
They allow work to start only after safe procedures have been defined and they
provide a clear record that all foreseeable hazards have been considered. Permits to
Work are usually required in high-risk areas as identified by the Risk Assessments.
 A permit is needed when construction work can only be carried out if normal
safeguards are dropped or when new hazards are introduced by the work. Examples
of high-risk activities include but are not limited to:
i. Working at height
ii. Entry into confined spaces
iii. Work near overhead power lines and telecommunication cables
iv. Hot work
v. To dig where underground services may be located
vi. Work with heavy moving machinery
vii. Working on electrical equipment
viii. Work with radioactive isotopes
ix. Heavy lifting operations and lifting operations closer to live power line (etc.)
 The permit-to-work system should be fully documented, laying down:
i. How the system works;
ii. The jobs it is to be used for;
iii. The responsibilities and training of those involved; and
iv. How to check its operation;

 Prevention of dumper and dump truck accidents should be managed by providing
wheel stops at a sufficient distance from edges of excavations, spoils heaps, pits
etc.
 If excavators operating on a gradient which cannot be avoided, it must be ensured
that the working cycle is slowed down, that the bucket is not extended too far in
the downhill direction and that travel is undertaken with extreme caution. A large
excavator must never be permitted to travel in a confined area or ground people
without a banks man to guide the driver, who should have the excavator
attachment close in to the machine, with the bucket just clear of the ground. On
wheeled excavators, it is essential that the tyres are in good condition and
correctly inflated. If stabilizing devices are fitted, they should be employed when
the machine is excavating.
 When the front shovel of the 180° backhoe loaders is being employed, the backhoe
 When operating the backhoe in poor ground conditions, the stabilizers tend to sink
into the surface of the ground reducing stability. Therefore frequent checks shall

18. WATER RESOURCE PROTECTION
Water source protection involves the protection of surface water sources (e.g. lakes,
rivers, man-made reservoirs) and groundwater sources (e.g. spring protection, dug well
protection, and drilled well protection) to avoid water pollution (see also pathogens and
contaminants).
While surface water sources and springs are directly exposed to human activities,
groundwater sources are often protected through overlaying soil layers. However, accessing
ISSUE NO. 01, DATE: 02.06.14
groundwater sources through dug or drilled wells allows contaminants to enter aquifers,
polluting the well itself and the water in nearby lakes, rivers, or neighboring wells, which
consequently threatens both public health and the environment.
In the past, the need for water source protection has often been neglected. As a consequence,
many drinking water sources have become contaminated making water purification measures
indispensable. The very slow flow of groundwater makes rehabilitation of contaminated
aquifers both costly and time-intensive. While removal of pathogenic contamination through
disinfection is more likely to be successful, some metals and chemical substances will
permanently remain in the soil.
Recently, establishing adequate water source protection has been recognized as the most
suitable and cost-effective method to keep contaminants out of drinking water and making
costly water purification measures and construction of new wells. This holds both for
industrialized and developing countries.
Implementing water source protection requires a legal framework. This usually involves a
protection plan, which formulates responsibilities, specific protection measures and basic
rules that apply to all community members and water source users.
18.1 Surface Water Source Protection Measures
As many surface water sources are used for drinking water purposes, protection is vital.
Generally, three basic strategies exist for protection.
 Prevention: No discharge of waste, pollutants or untreated water from domestic,
industrial or agricultural use; optimized water use and practices in agriculture in order
to stop nutrients from entering aquatic systems (e.g. establishing buffer zones).
 Treatment: treatment of polluted water prior to discharge; storm water management:
ensuring that run-off cannot transport pollutants into water bodies.
 Restore ecosystems: Enable or support natural rehabilitation processes.
18.2 Groundwater Source Protection Measures
Numerous simple preventative measures can be applied to protect springs, wells and
aquifers from contamination. They are presented in the following five steps.
Step 1: Location / Site Selection of the Water Source - Never Close to Pollutant Sources
 Before the drilling of a well or construction of a spring tapping starts, an appropriate
site has to be found. Villagers or landowners are a good source of information and
mostly point out a suitable location for them as users. However, several other
important aspects have to be kept in mind when selecting the optimal site for a water
source
18.3 A water point of any kind or source should be:
 Situated above the (seasonal) flood level of any nearby river or lake;
 In a location, which guarantees easy access for all water users all year round. This
refers to physical access but also to legal access.
 In proximity to the actual point of water use;
 In an area allowing the rapid dispersal of spilt water;
ISSUE NO. 01, DATE: 02.06.14
 In a sunny area without shade to guarantee that the immediate well surroundings
remain dry, so as to prevent bacteria, algae, etc. to evolve.
 In a location where the level of the water table is at a depth of at least two meters
all year round (for wells);
 In distance from agricultural activities of any kind; particularly if pesticides or
fertilizers are applied.
 In an area not susceptible to erosion;
 In safe distance to saltwater and any source of pollution such as a pit latrine, abattoir,
dumping site, fertilizer or pesticide store, etc.
18.4 Set up Rules for all Community Members
Any protection plan rises and falls with the behaviour of the community members, their
attitude towards the plan and their knowledge. Besides the installation of constructional
measures, simple rules should be set up and communicated by a local caretaker.
Such rules can include:
 Don’t defecate close to the well,
 Don’t let your animals graze close to the well,
 Don’t throw any garbage into the well, etc.
 No sewer line will be connected to the water resource.
 No person/ workmen will be allowed for bathing, fishing at water resource area.
 Adequate site security shall be deployed for monitoring the same.
 All personnel will be restricted to water resource area by installing adequate fences
if required.
19. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION, RISK ASSESSMENT AND CONTROL PROCEDURE
 This is the procedure of identifying hazards, assessing the risk level and applying control
measure on each activities or process of the entire section to bring it to tolerable level so
as to carry out work in safe and healthy manner.
 This is applicable for entire division. Overall responsibility for procedure implementation
lies with the Site in-charge While Site engineer responsibility for procedure
implementation lies with the respective sectional heads.
 Description; Identification of Hazard associated with the activities carried out in the
division is done on
 Routine and non –routine activities
 Activities of all personnel having access to the workplace.
 Activities carried out during Abnormal and Emergency situations.
 Start up and Shut down.
 Human behaviors, capabilities and other human factors.
 Identified hazards originating outside the workplace capable of adversely affecting
the health and safety of person under the control of the organization within the
workplace,
 Hazards created in the vicinity of the workplace by work related activities under the
control of the organization.
ISSUE NO. 01, DATE: 02.06.14
 Infrastructure, equipment and material at the workplace, whether provided by the

organization or others.
 Changed or proposed changes in the Division, its activities or materials;
 Modification to the SHE management system, including temporary changes, and
their impacts on operations, processes, and activities;
 Any applicable legal obligations relating to risk assessment and implementation of
necessary controls
 The design of work areas, processes, installations, machinery / equipment,
operating procedure and work origination, including their adaption to human
capabilities.
The activities are broken into simpler steps

and then the risk of occurrence of various
hazards associated with the activities,
Materials, Chemicals, Machines and other
Equipment’s etc. being used at the
workplace are identified.
Potential hazards which can be resulted

due to interactions of these risk factors are
identified as Physical injury, Physical
strain, Chemical attack, Electrical shock,
Fire Explosion and Toxicity.
Initially the risk is evaluated for the

activities without considering the control
measures for occurrence of the hazard and
then the risk in the activity is reevaluated
after considering the various existing
control measures used to control and
minimize the effects of the hazards
Remarks, recommendations are placed to
take care of residual risk.
Details for Evaluation of Risk are as follow.
 Various potential hazards are
identified and evaluated for the
risks associated with them in terms of a product factored by severity and
Probability. Each factor is quantified on the basis of rating.
 The severity is divided in to three levels Minor, Moderate & Serious. Probability
is divided in three levels Highly Unlikely, Unlikely & Likely.
 Risk assessment of the hazards identified is rated in five levels.
 Action will be taken against each level of Risk ratings.
ISSUE NO. 01, DATE: 02.06.14
 Risk level 4 & 5 is identified as Signification Risks and are mentioned as

The excavated soil is fine grained and exhibits medium expansivity. It is therefore not
recommended for use as foundation backfill (refer para 7.10.1).
For excavation for the foundations, the excavation may be done with a slope of 1.5-
2vertical to 1horizontal upto a depth of 3m. Excavations beyond 3m should have suitable
benches as per IS 10386 (Part 8).
Stiff Tie-beams connecting the columns in both directions may be provided which will
render additional rigidity to the structure.
The site must have proper slopes and drainage system to drain out any pilferage of water/
rain water to avoid moisture water movement towards the foundation / underneath the
G(C)9289

structures.
Is the site is being filled with external soil and for any filling; the filling may be done in
layers using non swelling soil. The filling may be done in layers of 25-30cm thick duly
compacted to >95% of modified proctor density.
It is suggested the load capacity of the pile be confirmed by a load test.
After reaching the required depth, care should be taken that the slush formed at the bottom
is minimum. The bentonite being used during piling should be as per IS 2911.

5.4.2 In this test, four electrodes had been driven into the ground surface along a straight line
at equal intervals/ spacings. The tests involves the passing of a current through the outer
two electrodes called the current electrodes and the measurement of the voltage difference
between the two inner electrodes called the potential electrodes. The ratio of the voltage
difference measured to the current passed gives the resistance. An electrical megger had
been used to determine the resistance directly, at the site. The resistance had been so
determined for various electrode spacings.
5.4.3 In the present case, the depth of electrodes had been maintained at 20cms. The spacings
of electrodes adopted had been 1.5, 3, 6, 9 and 12m.
G(C)9289

Page 11 of 136
5.4.4 The above procedure had been repeated for eight different directions at every selected
location, as per the standard procedure.
5.4.5 The electrical resistivity of the soil which is a function of the resistance determined is
calculated for each electrode spacing used. A plot of electrical resistivity vs distance is
then prepared which invariably indicates an average constant value of the electrical
resistivity at larger electrode spacings. This average constant value of the electrical
resistivity is taken as the resistivity for that direction.
5.4.6 The electrical resistivity so determined for each direction is plotted on a polar plot to
obtain a closed curve. The representative electrical resistivity for the test location is then
determined as the radius of the circle having an area equivalent to the enclosed area within
the closed curve of the polar plot.
5.4.7 The electrical resistivity of the soil/rock depends on the density, water content, grain size
distribution etc. of the soil and mineral composition and grain structure of the parent rock.

7.19 Liquefaction
7.19.1 Liquefaction is a condition in sandy soil strata which occurs when the inherent shear
strength in the strata is reduced and the strata behaves like a liquid. This condition arises
mainly when the strata is subjected to accelerations during vibrations. Under vibrations,
the individual particles loose contact with each other and reach a weightless (Levitation)
state. Consequently, the shear strength of the strata reduces. When the strata is saturated,
the pore water pressure increases due to the acceleration and reduces the effective shear
strength. The magnitude of reduction in both cases depends upon the intensity of
acceleration and also on the insitu density. The above phenomena occur during
earthquakes in sandy soils especially poorly graded sandy soils.
7.19.2 Normally, if the fines content (silt and clay fraction) of the soil is more than 35%,
liquefaction does not occur when the N values are more than 15.
7.19.3 At the present site, the corrected N values in the soil strata are generally in excess of 15
except in a limited layer above 4.5m.
G(C)9289
24
Page 24 of 136
7.19.4 Such subsoil conditions are generally considered to be not susceptible to liquefaction.
7.19.5 Hence, the soil at the present site is not susceptible to liquefaction.

9.3 Note
9.3.1 The recommendations given in this report have been arrived at on the basis of design
parameters which have been judiciously adopted by giving due consideration to the results
of field and laboratory investigations as well as NAGADI’s experience of over four
decades in working in various types of soil and rock conditions all over India.
10.0 CONSTRUCTION ADVISORY
10.1 The soil of each strata has been described with name, colour etc. During excavation
any variation in the nature of the soil and its condition from those given in this Report
should be noted and appropriate action should be taken.
10.2 The excavated soil is fine grained and exhibits medium expansivity. It is therefore not
G(C)9289
29
Page 29 of 136
recommended for use as foundation backfill (refer para 7.10.1).
10.3 For excavation for the foundations, the excavation may be done with a slope of 1.5-
2vertical to 1horizontal upto a depth of 3m. Excavations beyond 3m should have suitable
benches as per IS 10386 (Part 8).
10.4 Stiff Tie-beams connecting the columns in both directions may be provided which will
render additional rigidity to the structure.
10.5 The site must have proper slopes and drainage system to drain out any pilferage of water/
rain water to avoid moisture water movement towards the foundation / underneath the
structures.
10.6 Is the site is being filled with external soil and for any filling; the filling may be done in
layers using non swelling soil. The filling may be done in layers of 25-30cm thick duly
compacted to >95% of modified proctor density.
10.7 It is suggested the load capacity of the pile be confirmed by a load test.
10.8 After reaching the required depth, care should be taken that the slush formed at the
bottom is minimum. The bentonite being used during piling should be as per IS 2911.

SETTLEMENT CALCULATION BASED ON CONSOLIDATION TEST
The total settlement of the foundation due to underlying compressible stratum (as Is 8009) is
given by:
S = {Cc / (1 + eo)} H. log10 {(Po +> P) /Po }
Where:
S = Settlement
Cc = Compression index
H = Thickness of compressible strata
Po = Original intensity of pressure acting at mid height of compressible stratum
>P = Increment in pressure due to the additional load imposed through
Foundation
eo = Original Void Ratio
Data
Depth of foundation = 200cm
Dimension of footing (assumed) = 200 x 200cm
Bulk density = 1.86gm/cc
Compression index Cc = 0.143
Initial void ratio eo = 0.57
Compressible strata (H) = 300cms
Po (1.8 x 350) = 0.459g/cm2
>P = {(qa (B x L)}/{(B+Z)(L+Z)}
Where:
qa = Allowable bearing pressure = 4.5t/m² = 0.45kg/cm²
B&L = Dimension of footing = 200 x 200cm
Z = depth below foundation level of mid height of compressible
stratum = 350cm
>P = 0.1469g/cm2
substituting the values in the above equation, we get
S = 32.92cm
Applying depth correction factor =D/%LB, which is 0.73
we get S = 32.92 x 0.73 = 2.403cm say 24mm
Therefore, The calculated settlement for an allowable bearing pressure of 4.5t/m² is about
24mm which is less than 25mm. Hence, Safe.

CALCULATION FOR LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY OF PILE
Typical calculations for the pile capacity has been given hereunder for a pile of diameter 500mm.
For piles of other diameters, a similar procedure has been used to arrive at the recommended pile
capacities.
As per IS 2911 (Part 1/Sec 2) the Ultimate Pile Capacity is given by
Qu = End bearing + Skin friction = Ap Nc Cp + 3 " C As
where Ap = area of pile = 0.1953 m²
Nc = bearing capacity factor = 9
Cp = average cohesion at pile tip = 3kg/cm²
"= Adhesion factor in ith layer depending on the consistency of soil = 1upto 10m
depth, 0.435 upto 13m depth and 0.25 upto 16m depth
C= average cohesion for the ith layer = 0.3kg/cm² upto 10m depth, 1kg/cm² upto 13m
depth and 3kg/cm² upto 16m depth
As = surface area of pile in the ith layer = 14.139m² upto 10m depth (afer deducting 1m
as pile cap), 4.713m² upto 13m depth and 4.713m² upto 16m depth
substituting the values in the equation, we get
Qu = 53.02 + 42.42 + 20.03 + 35.35
= 150.82t
considering a FOS of 2.5
Qs = Qu / FOS = 150.82/2.5 = 60.33t
Therefore Adopt Qs = 60t
Uplift Capacity
Uplift Capacity is skin friction with a Factor of safety
Skin friction = 42.42 + 20.03 + 35.35
= 97.79t
considering a FOS of 3 we get
Uplift Capacity = 97.97/3 = 32.65t
Therefore adopt 30t
LATERAL PILE LOAD CAPACITY
G(C)9289
34
Page 34 of 136
A.1 Methodology
A.1.1 A typical calculation for the lateral pile load capacity has been given hereunder for a pile
of diameter ‘d’ = 500mm.
A.1.2 For determining the lateral pile load capacity, the depth of fixity of the piles or in other
words, the equivalent cantilever length of the pile, has to be first determined. The depth
of fixity is determined based on the modulus of horizontal subgrade reaction 0h value
which in turn is considered based on the relative density of the soil as observed in the
boreholes conducted, as per table 3 of appendix C of the BIS code IS:2911.
A.1.3 For evaluation of the modulus of horizontal subgrade reaction, the soil along the top
length of the pile has been considered on an average to be in a loose state based on the
range of N-values recorded within this length/depth.
A.1.4 The lateral pile load capacity is then determined as the horizontal force required for
causing the allowable horizontal deflection of the pile head when considering the pile as
a cantilever.
A.1.5 For calculation purposes, the concrete of pile has been considered to be of M25 grade.
A.1.6 For the determination of the lateral pile load capacity, the allowable horizontal deflection
of the pile head has been considered as 5mm based on the provisions of clause 7.4 of BIS
code IS:2911 (Part4) - 1985.
A.2 Evaluation of Depth of Fixity
A.2.1 Considering that the soil in the top of the pile is in a loose state (due to N values ranging
between 4 to 9), the modulus of horizontal subgrade reaction can be taken as 0.08kg/cm3
applicable for submerged conditions, as per table 3 of appendix C of the BIS code
IS:2911.
A.2.2 The stiffness factor is calculated using the following formula:
T = 5% (E . I /0h)
Where E is the elastic modulus and I is the moment of inertia of the pile section that has
to be determined by taking into account the flexural rigidity provided by the concrete.
A.2.3 The elastic modulus of concrete is determined as :
E  5000  f ck
Where fck = characteristic strength of concrete = 25N/mm2
G(C)9289
35
Page 35 of 136
Hence, E = 25,000 N/mm2 or 250,000kg/cm2
A.2.4 The moment of inertia of the pile section is determined as :
 d4
I
64
Hence, I = 306796.16 cm4
A.2.5 For the above value of the modulus of horizontal subgrade reaction and flexural rigidity
of the concrete, the stiffness factor (T) works out to 2.49m. As per fig.2 of the Appendix
C of IS 2911 the depth of Fixity works out to
Zf = 4.76m (for free head condition)
Zf = 5.43m (for fixed head condition).
A.3 Determination of Lateral Pile Load Capacity
A.3.1 The horizontal deflection of the pile head, is determined by the following equations :
QL  Z 3f
y (for free head condition)
3 E  I
Ql  Z 3f

A.3.2 Considering an allowable horizontal deflection of the pile head of 5mm, the lateral pile
load capacity works out to be :
QL = 1.07tons (for free head condition)
Ql = 2.87tons (for fixed head condition)
Therefore Adopt
QL = 1.05 tons (for free head condition)
Ql = 2.85 tons (for fixed head condition)
Note : The above calculation has been carried out by neglecting the contribution of the
reinforcement to the flexural rigidity of the pile, which will increase when the
contribution of the reinforcement is considered and can be further increased by
increasing the area of reinforcement provided in the pile. An increased flexural rigidity
implies a greater lateral pile load carrying capacity for the same allowable deflection.
