Good Practices Good Practices

 

Ensure that Guide pile is set out properly – survey points

 Quality Issues – Prevent bore collapse

Good Practices Bad Practices

 

During boring maintain water level up to Ground Level or below1 meter to Avoid Pile Collapses
Provide safety barriers around open bore holess
 Quality Issues – Measuring depth

Good Practices Bad Practices

 

Ensure to check sounding after removing of each/every two bucket to avoid pile collapse, if there is any
unexpected sounding immediately stop boring & fill water up to GL then inform to site supervisor

Tremie Pipe general information

Type of Tremie pipes : Bottom Tremie pipe :

1m Length

2m Length
3m Length

6m Length
Quality issues during Tremie lowering & Concreting

How to insert tremie pipe :

1. Make sure that total length of tremie pipe is at
least 200mm more than the length of the pile
2. Bottom tremie pipe should be the longest
3. Before pouring, lower tremie pipe to the
bottom of the bored pile hole
4. During concrete pouring, maintain to bury
the tremie pipe into concrete as below :

Make sure concrete pouring should continue up to 0.750 – 1 Meter above from the cut off level or make
overflow to get good quality of concrete at cut off level.
