Pile Maintained Load Test CHECKLIST 409

Project:

NO. STANDARD CHECK REMARKS

A DESK TOP STUDY
1 Methodology by jacking method (including the support system) Y N NA
submitted to and approved by OIC
2 Submitted catalogue & calibration certificates of the jack and Y N NA
settlement gauges to OIC's approval. (Jack measured to ±2%
accuracy, Gauge measured to ±0.25mm accuracy)
3 Checked the counter weight (kentledge) to be a minimum of 2.2 Y N NA
times the pile's working capacity
4 OIC confirmed the test pile position Y N NA
B SITE PREPARATION
1 Support System is properly installed on firm ground Y N NA
2 Settlement Gauges installed at a datum that will not be affected Y N NA
by any movement of the ground due to any cause
3 Independent checks on the level of the datum by an accurate Y N NA
levelling instrument conducted by surveyor
C FIRST CYCLE TEST
1 The gauges are reset by applying a load of 10 tons, removing of Y N NA
load and setting recording instruments to zero
2 Increased jacking load to the working load with a min. 4 equal Y N NA
increments with 1 hour holding time for each or to OIC's direction
3 Held the full working load for 2 hours or to OIC's direction Y N NA
4 Reduced the load to zero with a min. of 4 equal decrements with Y N NA
a min. of 30 minutes holding time each tor o OIC's direction
5 Held zero load for 2 hours or to OIC's direction for full recovery Y N NA
before proceeding with 2nd cycle test
D SECOND CYCLE TEST
1 Increased jacking load to FULL TEST LOAD with a min. of 8 equal Y N NA
increments with 1 hour holding time each or to OIC's direction
2 Held the FULL TEST LOAD for 24 hours or to OIC's direction Y N NA
3 Reduced the load to zero with a min. of 8 equal decrements with Y N NA
min. 30 minutes holding time each or to OIC's direction
4 Held zero load for 2 hours or to OIC's direction for full recovery Y N NA
before removing the jack
E RECORDING
1 At constant load, recorded time and settlement/recovery Y N NA
immediately on reaching the load and at 15 minutes intervals for
1st hour, at 30 minute intervals for the next 3 hours and then at
hourly intervals
2 Submitted Test Record to OIC within 24 hours, use Form 404 Y N NA
3 Submitted Test Report with settlement/recovery plotted vertically Y N NA
against a base line of load
4 OIC certified the acceptance of the test result Y N NA
