PROJECT: BAHRAIN MARINA DEVELOPMENT Rev. 00
METHOD STATEMENT: STRUCTURAL PILES Date: 13 August 2023

1m above the working platform level.

 During driving, the verticality of casing shall be monitored with the help of spirit level (1m length) at
every 2m interval, and the position of casing shall be continuously monitored with reference to the
reference pins.

 The casing shall be driven up the position of hard strata and terminated. The placing and depth of
the casing shall be varying from place to place depending on the soil condition.

8.3.2 Driving Casing by Power Pack Vibro Method (Option 2)

 Crane shall lift the casing with the spare hoist and place into the clamp’s jaws of the casing vibrator
previously lifted with the main hoist.

 The casing vibrator then clamps the casing securely into the jaw area.

 Position the casing on the previously identified pile location pin (with position being ascertained
with respect to the previously placed reference pins).

 The casing vibrator is then switched on to vibrate the casing to pre‐determined depth level (into
hard strata).

 During driving, the verticality of casing shall be monitored with the help of spirit level and the
position of casing shall be continuously monitored with reference to the reference pins.

 During driving, the verticality of casing shall be monitored with the help of spirit level (1m length) at
every 2m interval, and the position of casing shall be continuously monitored with reference to the
reference pins.

 Care must be taken that the casing is vibrated securely into hard strata.

8.3.3 Boring and Cleaning

 The center to center (c/c) distance of bored piles produced with a time‐difference less than 4 hours
should be at least four times the diameter with a minimum of 2m. (EN 1536)

 Drilling will be carried out using drilling rigs at working platform elevation mentioned in IFC
drawings.

 The drilling rig is maneuvered to a stable ground near the casing.

 The auger is attached to the Kelly bar of the rig and lowered inside the casing to start the drilling.

 The auger is rotated in one direction while being lowered.

 The spoils accumulated in the auger during the boring process will be lifted to discharge it outside
the bore.

 During the process of boring the soil condition changes on every layer, when the auger is no longer
suitable to pick up loose and wet soil, it is raised and replaced with the drilling bucket. The drilling
bucket is designed to bore with its teeth at the bottom and contained the loose soil on its
cylinder/bucket.

PROJECT: BAHRAIN MARINA DEVELOPMENT Rev. 00
METHOD STATEMENT: STRUCTURAL PILES Date: 13 August 2023

 The drilling bucket is lifted, and the spoils are discharged outside the casing.

 The process of boring is repeated with the method above until pile toe level is reached as per
approved Drawing.

 The top of casing and pile location will be checked again by the surveyor and counter check by the
engineer representative for reference.

 Depth monitoring will be checked using meter tape with dead weight attached at the end of the
tape to ensure the pile length.

 By this method we can assure the desired depth in every pile.

8.3.4 Reinforcement Installation

immediately after delivery of the cage to site, prior to use.

 After the inspection the cage is lifted by the crane and lowered in the center of the casing down the
pile borehole.

METHOD STATEMENT: STRUCTURAL PILES Date: 13 August 2023

 Once the boreholes have been inspected and approved, the concrete shall be poured directly into
the boreholes by way of a tremie tube from the mixer truck fastened to a concrete pump.

 The concrete must be poured without any interruption to avoid previously poured concrete from
hardening and a cold joint forming.

 Test of fresh concrete shall be carried out by an independent testing laboratory for every concrete
delivered at site. All fresh concrete shall be at all approved check points.

 The tremie tube should be withdrawn gradually throughout the concreting process.

8.3.7 Casing Withdrawal

 The extraction shall be carried out while concrete is still of the required workability.

 The removal of the casing will be carried out using a power pack vibratory hammer which is carried
by the crane. The hammer jaw will be connected to the casing and then the extraction will start
using the crane.

 Care must be taken not to exert too much pull prior to the loosening of the casing.

 During the continued extraction a sufficient quantity and head of concrete shall be maintained to
balance the external pressure so that the annular space vacated by the removal of the casing is
filled with the concrete.

 Careful visual inspection is carried out to ensure that the casing is extracted in the vertical position.
