charred or burned, or has become spongy or deteriorated in any manner. The use of small
wood blocks, woodchips, rope or other material allowing excessive loss of hammer energy
will not be permitted.
Satisfactory driving criteria shall be established with such a cap block, and a new cap block
shall not be used during the final driving of any pile. The same type of cap blocks used for
pile testing shall be used during pile driving.
Cap blocks made from other materials are subject to approval by the COMPANY. Wood
chips, small wood blocks, wood shavings, wire rope, or other materials with high-elastic
properties shall not be used for cap blocks.
8.4.4 Pile Hammer Operation

Operation of the pile hammer shall be in accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendation.
During initial pile driving operations, CONTRACTOR shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of
the COMPANY that the equipment to be used satisfies the above requirements. In case
impact driving is planned in the area close to existing facilities, during piling activities,
CONTRACTOR shall monitoring the effect by means of measuring vibration. Risk
assessment of potential vibration impact to existing facility shall be done prior to work
8.4.5 Pile Protection

At all stages during driving and until incorporated in the superstructure, piles shall be
adequately supported and restrained by means of leaders, trestles, temporary support or
other guiding arrangements to maintain position and alignment and to prevent buckling.
Care shall be taken to avoid damage to the piles, during placing in the leads, and during
driving operations. Piles shall be laterally supported during driving, but shall not be unduly
restrained against rotation in the leads.
The top of the pile shall be cut square to the longitudinal axes of the pile before driving.

8.4.6 Pile Driving

Piles shall be driven to satisfy three criteria:
(1) a minimum tip elevation,
(2) a minimum required tip resistance in number of blows per foot (300 mm) and final set
criteria.
The final set of each pile shall be recorded as penetration in millimeter of the final 10
blows. The minimum required penetration for final set shall be agreed by COMPANY in
accordance with Pile Driving Analysis and pile load test results.
(3) verticality tolerance (refer to section 8.4.10).
Driving of each pile shall be continuous without interruption. CONTRACTOR shall provide
COMPANY with details of the proposed final set that it will be used to obtain the specified
pile capacity.
CONTRACTOR shall determine the final set in accordance to the agreed pile criteria which it
determined from pile load test results and test piling records. If there is any doubt as to the
pile capacity, COMPANY may request a pile load test.
The proposed driving criteria shall be verified by tests on former piles installation and testing
and if necessary modified, subject to COMPANY approval
Jetting, spudding or predrilling for piles will not be permitted.
The intent of this specification is to ensure that the piles are to be of a certain minimum
length below the cut-off elevation depending upon the design capacity, and that the piles tip
is in a competent bearing stratum.
Pile driving for any given group shall normally commence with the piles located at the centre
of the group and work shall be outwards towards opposite sides of the group.
Piles shall be driven continuously without stopping, especially during the last metre or so of
the expected penetration. Acceptance refusal criteria shall be provided if the pile cannot
meet the minimum tip elevation but already meets the minimum required tip resistance in
terms of number of blows per foot. Should stoppage occur within this distance, the pile
shall be driven to at least one metre beyond this point.
Driving of large groups of piles may cause significant compaction of the lower strata. This
could cause piles driven later in the driving sequence to meet harder driving before they
reach their specified penetration. In addition, heaving may affect piles driven early in the
driving sequence. Provision shall be made in the driving sequence, to minimise these
effects.
CONTRACTOR shall note any sudden change in the rate of penetration that cannot be
explained by normal or expected changes in the nature of the ground and the cause
ascertained before driving is allowed to continue. Events of this nature shall be clearly
described in the driving-record.
CONTRACTOR shall submit to the COMPANY a criteria for “Premature Refusal” for
structural evaluations, using the proposed hammer, supported by wave equation analyses,
to COMPANY approval. This premature refusal criteria will be provided in the pile driveability
analysis.
Contractor shall provide alternative contingency provisions in case of early pile refusal in the
piling method statement.

The use of dolly in connection with driven pile systems is strictly prohibited, unless approval
has been obtained from COMPANY. The CONTRACTOR shall inform the COMPANY
without delay if an unexpected change in driving characteristic is encountered because of
unexpected ground conditions.
The CONTRACTOR shall report immediately to the COMPANY any circumstances which, in
the CONTRACTOR’s opinion, indicate ground conditions that may differ from the soil
investigation report. CONTRACTOR's opinion shall be substantiated with sufficient factual
and interpretative data to demonstrate that the range of conditions encountered were
outside of the ranges determined during FEED and detailed design and could have not been
reasonable foreseen from the information provided by COMPANY including PHASE I data,
close out reports, factual information and any other data acquired by CONTRACTOR at any
point. The CONTRACTOR’s report shall be in form of a written notice of adverse physical
conditions and artificial obstructions which shall be given to the COMPANY at the earliest
possible time after encountering such conditions and obstructions.
8.4.7 Pile Cut-off

After piles have been driven, sufficient pile length shall be provided above cut-off elevations
so that portion of pile damaged during driving may be cut-off. The tops shall be neatly cut-
off clean and round or square to the longitudinal axis to a tolerance of ± 30 mm of the
elevation shown on the design drawings. An accurate record of pile cut-off levels shall be
kept to detect any heave (upheaval) which may occur during subsequent driving of adjacent
piles, or after piling is completed.
8.4.8 Measurement of Pile Heave and Back Driven

When piles are driven under conditions of relatively close spacing, observations will be
made by the COMPANY and CONTRACTOR during pile driving, to determine any uplift in
adjacent piles. One pile in each major pile area of 7 piles or more shall be checked for signs
of heaving or lifting. Measurement of butt movement shall be taken before and after driving
subsequent piles. Measurement of heave shall be recorded by the CONTRACTOR with the
intent of monitoring a radius of influence for pile installation. Measurements of heave shall
be recorded on completed piles located at or within 7.6 m (25 feet) of driving. All heave
measurements for driving during a workday shall be recorded by the CONTRACTOR and
reviewed by the COMPANY. Should such observations show signs of uplift, the piles so
affected shall be backdriven to either the original resistance or elevation, or both, as directed
by the COMPANY. Backdriving shall be done without additional charge to the COMPANY.
For each pile heave measurement, the CONTRACTOR shall record the following data:
• Piles in the group yet to be driven after measurement is taken
• The time of the initial and final measurement
• The total movement of the pile butt
Piles designated for heave measurement have the following characteristics:
• They shall be within a group of 7 piles or larger. Other piles shall surround the
designated pile when the pile group is completed. It must not be a side or corner pile,
unless the CONTRACTOR has reason to anticipate a potential heave problem and notes
the reason on the pile driving data form. Some adjacent piles may be driven prior to
driving the heave pile, but it must not be one of the last piles driven in the group. No
more than 25 percent of the piles in a group shall be driven prior to initial heave
measurements for the group.

• They may be adjacent to replacement piles. A designated heave pile may be selected
before driving the replacement (redrive) pile.
Heave measurement of 6 mm (0.25 inches) or less (tip movement or pile head movement)
will not be considered as significant.
Heave measurement between 6 mm (0.25 inches) and 12 mm (0.50 inches) will be
considered significant and may require that additional heave measurements be taken of
nearby piles. Such measurements shall be noted on the reports and immediately reported
to the Company.
Heave measurement greater than 12 mm (0.50 inches) will be considered excessive and
may require that the CONTRACTOR re-driven the heave pile and other piles to their original
tip elevations. Such measurements shall be noted on the reports and immediately reported
to the COMPANY.
8.4.9 Damaged Piles

The homogeneity and integrity of piles will be checked through pile integrity testing to
decide if any piles are damaged or broken. Pile integrity testing for driven spun piles are
minimum 1% of the total number of piles to be installed. CONTRACTOR shall propose
location of pile to be tested for COMPANY approval.
Piles which, in the opinion of the COMPANY, are damaged, broken, misplaced, driven
improperly, or driven out of alignment shall be rejected. The rejected piles shall be cut off,
abandoned, and replaced with new piles.
Replacement of rejected piles, at a location suggested by the COMPANY, shall be done
without additional charge.
Piles abandoned due to rejection by the COMPANY, during pile load tests, or during pile
driving, or for any other cause shall be cut off below grade.
8.4.10 Tolerances and Misalignment

Alignment of piles shall be within 75mm of the position shown on the drawings, and
deviation from the vertical shall not exceed two percent (2%) per unit length of pile. Cutting
off pile elevation shall not exceed 20mm of cutting pile design.
Where piles are raked, deviation from the assigned direction and slope shall not exceed
three percent (3%) per unit length of pile. Misaligned piles or piles damaged in handling or
driving shall be replaced. New shells shall not be driven inside a shell pile for repair.
8.5 Installation Bore Pile

The proposed sequence and timing of bore pile installation shall be such that the installation
works shall not cause any damage to adjacent piles and existing (structure and facilities).
Piling works shall not commence until approval of COMPANY has been obtained. No bore
pile excavation shall commence within 8m of any concreted pile which has not been cured
for 24 hours.
8.5.1 Staking Out of Piles

Stake out piles using suitable identifiable pins, in the configuration indicated on the
drawings. All staking should be approved by COMPANY.

After a pile is completely poured, prior moving to another piling location, recheck this stake
out location against design and the tolerance. Driving a pile could impact to adjacent stake
out.
8.5.2 Safety
CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for the safety and integrity of adjacent structure, and
shall identify those structures susceptible to damage from piling operations. CONTRACTOR
shall propose to COMPANY methods of protecting existing structures, and if necessary
driven piles may be replaced by bore piles or some other piling system as approved by
COMPANY. If any drop object could be impact to existing facilities, risk assessment shall be
conducted by CONTRACTOR.
8.5.3 Drilling/Auger Equipment and Accessories

CONTRACTOR shall maintain the stability of the sides of boreholes during bore pile
installation and successful completion of the piles. Irrespective of the presence of ground

water, the sides of all boreholes shall be kept intact and no loose material shall be permitted
to fall into the bottom of boreholes. CONTRACTOR’s boring equipment shall be able to sink
a steel casing to support the sides of all boring
If the sides of boreholes are found to be not stable, temporary steel casing shall be driven
into stable stratum . The borehole shall be filled with drilling fluid to a level sufficiently to
stabilise the boreholes
If ground water is found in any hole in sufficient quantity or gushing out as to affect boring

bore, the excavation shall be backfilled without delay or other appropriate and approved
remedial measures taken by CONTRACTOR like installing temporary casing prior to
resuming boring at that location.
8.5.6.4 Stability of Bore by temporary casing method

CONTRACTOR shall install temporary casing to maintain the stability of a bore. Bottom of
casing shall be kept a minimum of one (1) meter or more below the unstable strata to
prevent the inflow of soil and formation of cavities in the surrounding ground.
Temporary casings shall be thin welled mild steel cylindrical casing, spirally welded or other
similar construction. The dimension and quality of the casing shall be adequate to withstand
without damage or distortion all handling, construction and ground stresses, including
preventing concrete from within the pile from displacing soft soil or soil squeezing in and
displacing fresh concrete. The casing shall have an internal diameter not less than the
specified pile diameter. The joints of casing shall be reasonably watertight.
If temporary casing are damaged during installation in a manner which prevents the proper
formation of the pile, such casings shall be withdrawn from the bore before concrete is
placed, repaired if necessary, or other action taken as may be approved to continue the
works
8.5.6.5 Spillage and Disposal

disturbed and/or remoulded soil is removed and that the sides of the boring will remain
stable during the subsequent concreting operations. The verticality and position of the
boring shall be checked to ensure meet with the specified tolerances
8.5.6.7 Pumping from Borehole

Pumping from boreholes may be carried out from time to time on a number of piles to verify
the suitability of dry hole construction or to investigate and rectify a cold join in a pile shaft
where concreting has been interrupted.
No pumping from a borehole shall be permitted unless a casing has been placed into the
stable stratum which prevents further ingress of water of significant quantity from other
strata into the borehole, or unless it can be shown that pumping will not have a detrimental
effect on the surrounding soil or hamper the piling operation in any way.
8.5.6.8 Cleaning Out and Dispose material

Upon completion of boring the excavation shall be cleaned of all loose, disturbed and or
remoulded soil and sediment soil to expose a firm base of undisturbed material using a
suitable and effective method to be approved by COMPANY

concreting shall start forthwith and continue without interruption. All concrete for cast-in-
place piles shall be compacted properly.
Concrete to be place under drilling fluid shall be placed using a tremie concrete pipe.
Alternative methods of placing concrete such as the use of a drop bottom bucket or hose
from a concrete pump will not be accepted.
The tremie concrete pipe shall consist of a series of metal pipes with internal diameter not
less than 250mm. The receiving hopper shall have a capacity at least equal to that of the
pipe it feeds. At all times, a sufficient quantity of concrete shall be maintained within the
pipe to ensure that the pressure from concrete exceeds that from the water or drilling fluid

The hopper and pipe of the tremie shall be clean and watertight throughout. The pipe shall
be extend to the base of the bore and a sliding plug or barrier placed at the discharge outlet
of the pipe to prevent direct contact between the first charge of concrete in the tremie pipe
and drilling fluid. If the plug or barrier is sacrificial, it shall not be retained in the mass of the
concrete
The tremie pipe outlet shall be kept at least 1.5metres below the surface of the concrete at
all stages in the pour.
Concrete placement shall be halted if there is potential a delay or breakdown occur during
the concreting and could cause a cold joint. All boreholes shall be concreted within the
same day. In the event of rain, CONTRACTOR shall provide adequate shelter or cover to
keep the hole dry and to concrete under cover.

workable to ensure that the concrete not lifted and that the resultant pile is continuous and
of full section. Temporary casing shall be extracted in not more than two (2) hours after
concreting has completed
When casings and linings are withdrawn as concreting process, a sufficient head of
concrete shall be maintained to prevent the entry of ground water which may cause
reduction of cross-section of the pile. No concrete shall be placed after the bottom of the
casing or lining has been lifted above the top of the concrete. Concrete shall be placed
continuously as the casing is extracted until the desire head of concrete is obtained
In condition of the ground water level being higher than the required pile head cut-off level
shown in the approved drawing, CONTRACTOR shall submit his proposals for agreement
prior to placing concrete. The pile head shall not be let below the ground water level unless
adequate and agreed precautions are taken,
8.5.9 Pile Cut-off and bonding

Concrete shall be finished not less than 500mm above the cut-off level (overcast) to ensure

stiff steel beams, the ends of which rest on or are fixed to reliable supports. Such supports
shall extend not less than 1.00 m below ground surface and shall not be located closer than
2.00 m from the center of the test pile or tension piles where used.
In addition, the elevation of the supports shall be checked frequently with reference to a
fixed benchmark. The entire measuring assembly shall be protected against rain, direct
sunlight and other disturbances that might affect its reliability.
The CONTRACTOR shall keep the test under continuous and competent supervision to the
satisfaction of COMPANY and he shall send two copies of all records and graphs to
COMPANY at the completion of each test.
This information shall include a load settlement diagram plotted to scales where a unit
length on each axis is equal to 0.25 mm settlement, and 1 ton load respectively.
All necessary facilities shall be provided to enable COMPANY to check readings during the

Loading shall be either Incremental Loading, or Constant Rate of Penetration Loading, and
shall be carried out in the following manner.
Incremental Loading (refer to ASTM D1143-81)
Loading shall be in increments equal to 25% of Design Load up to 150% of Design Load
and then where further loading is required in similar increments or less as directed by
COMPANY. Unloading shall be in at least three equal stages. During the loading cycle
150% of Design Load shall be maintained for a minimum of 24 hours or until settlement
does not exceed 0.05 mm in half an hour.
Sufficient readings for each load step shall be made to define properly all the time-
settlement and time-rebound curves. The elevation of the datum beam supports and the
test pile shall be frequently checked by precise level with reference to a fixed benchmark.
After completion of this loading and unloading cycle, one pile shall be tested to failure
criteria agreed by COMPANY after the 150% Design Load Stage has been completed.
The failure load is defined as the lesser of:

• The applied load causing a net settlement of the pile of not more than 0.3 mm per ton of
applied load. Net settlement in this instance means gross settlement due to the total
test load minus the rebound after removing 100 percent of the test load.
• The applied load causing a net settlement of the pile of 20 mm. Net settlement in this
instance being the gross settlement less the amount of elastic shortening in the pile
section due to the total test load.

Lateral load tests shall be carried out in accordance with ASTM D3966.
The maximum test load shall be, in principle, 200% of the designed lateral bearing capacity
or failure, whichever occurs first. The design lateral bearing capacity shall be determined by
strength requirement and deflection requirement of pile.
10.2.3.3 Procedure for Measuring Movements (refer to ASTM D1143)

Take readings of time, load, and movement, and record them before and after the
application of each load increment or the removal of each load decrement. During loading,
provided that the test pile has not failed, take additional readings and record them at
intervals not exceeding 10 minutes during the first hour or 20 minutes thereafter for each
load increment.
After the total load has been applied, provided that the test pile has not failed, take readings
and record at intervals not exceeding 20 minutes during the first 2 hours, not exceeding 1
hour for the next 10 hours, and not exceeding 2 hours for the next 12 hours.
If pile failure occurs, take readings immediately before removing the first load
decrement. During unloading, take readings and record at intervals not exceeding 20
minutes. Take a final rebound reading 12 hours after all load has been removed.
10.2.3.4 Safety Requirements (refer to ASTM D1143)

All operations in connection with pile load testing should be carried out in such a manner so
as to minimize, avoid, or eliminate the exposure of people to hazards.
10.2.3.5 Load Test Set-up (refer to Sections 10.2.3.1 and 10.2.3.2)

The load shall be applied to the test pile by a hydraulic jack acting against a reaction beam that is
anchored to the reaction piles.
Vertical movements of the test pile as well as of the reaction piles is measured using extensometers
reading directly to 0.025 mm and having a total travel of at least 50 mm. The extensometers shall be
supported independently of the test or reaction piles.
10.2.3.6 Records
• During pile driving:
For each test and reaction pile, a complete record of number of blows per 300 mm of
penetration and the last 10 blows for final setting or the rest 1.0 m length to be driven, shall be
maintained in triple by the sub-CONTRACTOR.
These records shall indicate location and length of pile, type of hammer used, rated energy,
type of driving cap, tip and butt elevation and ground elevation elapsed time and hours of
day description and dimension of pile.
The above records will be maintained of all non-test piles as well.
• During static pile loading test:
With reference to section 10.2.3.1: time, load and movement of pile shall be recorded
during the static load test.
The record is done before and after the application of each load increment of the removal of
each load decrement.
10.2.3.7 PDA (Dynamic) Load Test

PDA (Dynamic) Load Test is required for pile dynamic load testing and pile integrity
monitoring. High-Strain Dynamic Testing (commonly referred to as Pile Driving Analyzer, or
PDA testing) shall be conducted in accordance with ASTM D 4945 for driven piles.

10.2.3.8 Presentation of Result

The CONTRACTOR shall provide information about the tested pile within 7 days of the test.
