METHOD STATEMENT FOR

BORED PILING WORKS

BY : GEOHARBOUR SDN BHD

PROJECT TITLE:
PACKAGE BOREPILE : CONSTRUCTION AND COMPLETION OF PILING WORKS
(BORED PILE) FOR BRIDGE NO.1, NO.2, NO.3, NO.4 & NO.6
AND OTHER ASSOCIATED WORKS FOR MALAYSIA VISION VALLEY (MVV)
- MEMBINA JALAN BARU DARI NILAI - LABU KE BANDAR ENSTEK,
DAERAH SEREMBAN, NEGERI SEMBILAN
Site location

• The job site is in Daerah Seremban, Negeri Sembilan. From Nilai to

Labu. The exact location of the site is shown in below picture.
 Working at Bridge 2
• Total borepile 20 nos
• Abutment 2/A, Pier 2/1, Pier 2/2, Pier 2/3 and Abutment 2/B
• 8 nos 1350mm
• 12 nos 1500mm
• 1 MLT
• 4 PDA
• Selected CSL
Bore Pile Methodology
1) Pile setting Up
• Site clearing and making good platform for Boring Rig and Crawler
Crane
• Surveyor peg the point and setup the pile position as per design
drawing.
• Workers marking and offset the position with pin for re-centring.
2) Pre boring and installation of casing
• Pre boring will conduct to ensure the casing easily to install
• temporary steel casing shall be driven by the vibrator (vibro-hammer)
• casing shall be installed into such depth (minimum 1.0m or below the
unstable strata) to prevent collapse of any unstable soils
• Top of casing shall be around 500mm above platform level to prevent
the falling hazard into the bored hole

Installation of temporary casing
3) Surveyor taking New As built Coordinate
• New as built survey coordinate shall be taken
• to ensure that the vertically is within the permissible tolerance
(75mm)
• To prepare/give new Top of Casing Level( TOC), Existing Ground
Level( EGL) for bore depth calculation to Engineer/Supervisor
4) Boring of Pile
• Soil bucket( auger/soil boring) shall be used to bore out soft to hard
soils
• during the boring process, either water or polymer slurry (depending
on sub soil condition) will be introduced into the borehole as drilling
fluid
• Extracted soil and slurry during boring of hole will be separated
• During bore piling, the un-used soil will be dump to storage tank and
the slurry will be pump back to slurry storage(silo/storage tank)
provided at site
• The excavator will remove the soil from storage tank to soil lorry
Drilling Bucket ( Soil )
• When very hard soils or rock are encountered, core barrels may also
be used to reach the design founding level if required.
• Soil boring bucket will be replaced to Rock Boring Bucket
• Engineer/supervisor will inform Consultant regarding boring situation
• Rock sample will be taken every 1m to be verified by Point Load
Test(PLT)
• Result of PLT will be revised by Consulant for New Design Pile Length
• Upon reaching the design/revise level, the drilling tools will be
replaced with cleaning bucket

5) Termination of Bore Pile
• The base cleaning completed when depth measured recorded stable
after a few repeating of cleaning exercises
• Plumb with sufficient weight shall be installed at the end of measuring
tape to ensure it will be able to reach the bottom of bored hole
• termination of boring shall be subject to approval from the engineer
or RE or IOW
• Stabilization fluid test will be carried out for check the pH, Viscosity,
Density and sand content
Termination Comfirmation
Polymer test
6)Installation of Steel Reinforcement Cage
• fabricated reinforcement cage is then lowered into the completed hole. The
cage will be of length, size and reinforcement details in accordance to the
specifications or construction drawing
• Rebar cage will be inspected by Consultant to make sure followed the detail
drawing
• Borelog/bore detail/rebar detail will be prepared for the record
• After installing of reinforcement cage and prior concreting of pile, the base
shall be plumbed and checked by engineer or representative of engineer
(IOW).
• The trimee pipe and concrete hooper will be installed until toe level(base) for
concreting preparation

7) Concreting of Pile
• Concreting shall be carried out using tremie method
• The tremie pipe shall be assembled in 1.0 to 3.0m sections with shorter section
near the top
• Concreting by tremie method will continue until the concrete level is
approximately of minimum 0.5m above pile cut-off level
• The tremie shall be dismantled and shortened progressively, but at all times
maintaining at least 2-3m embedded within concrete
• During the pouring of concrete, the displaced drilling fluid will be pumped back
to the treatment plant (silo / water tank).
• Higher overcast may be required to allow for concrete slump down during casing
extraction (flushing)
concreting
8) Extraction of Temporary Casing
• Temporary casing shall be extracted within 1-2 hours after concreting
has completed
• temporary casing shall be extracted using vibrator until the casing is
loosened
• the finished bore pile area will be cleared and covered with steel plate
and backfilled
• Housekeeping
