PILING INSTALLATION
6.1 Control of Alignment The piles shall be installed as accurately as possible as per the designs and drawings. The permissible positional deviations shall be governed by IS: 2911 (Part I /Sec.2). In case of piles deviating beyond such permissible limits, the piles shall be replaced or supplemented by additional piles, as directed by Engineer-in-Charge at no extra cost to POSCO E & C. 6.2 Boring The boring shall be done by one of the following methods: (a) Direct mud circulation (b) Reverse mud circulation (c) Bailer bentonite. The actual method of construction to be followed shall be as per the decision of POSCO E & C in this regard shall be final and binding. In very soft soil a permanent liner shall be installed to ensure stability of borehole. A liner shall be used to protect the green concrete where a high hydrostatic pressure exists in the subsoil or where an underground flow of water exists and which is likely to damage the concrete on withdrawal of casing. Use of temporary liner only in lieu of bentonite to stabilize sides of boreholes shall not be permitted. Properties of bentonite used and quality control shall be as per IS: 2911 (Partl/Sec.2).

PCE000RDC05
The reinforcements shall be made into cages sufficiently rigid to withstand handling without damage. In case the reinforcement cage is made up more than one segment, the same shall be assembled by providing necessary laps preferably by welding. Stirrups/lateral ties/spiral ties to the main bars shall be welded. Care shall be taken to ensure that the reinforcement bars do not come closer while the cage is lowered down the hole. Proper cover and central placement of the reinforcement shall be ensured by use of suitable concrete spacers or rollers, case specifically for the purpose. Welding shall be done by qualified welders and approved by POSCO E & C. The welding shall be done such that the reinforcement bars are not undercut. The welding shall be done using approved grade electrodes manufactured by M/s. Advani Oerlikon or ESAB or D&H Secheron. 7.2 Concreting Concreting shall not be commenced until the Engineer-in-Charge satisfies himself that at final borehole depth the soil is not weaker than that taken as the basis for pile design. If necessary, SPT or similar test shall be conducted to ensure the above. Borehole bottom shall be thoroughly cleaned to make it free from sludge or any foreign matter before lowering the reinforcement cage. The full length of reinforcement cage shall be in position before start of concreting. Concreting shall be done by tremie method. The operation of tremie concreting shall be governed by IS: 2911 (Part I / Sec.2). The concrete placing shall not proceed if specific gravity of fluid near about the bottom of borehole exceeds 1.2. Determination of the specific gravity of the drilling mud from the base of the borehole shall be carried out by taking samples of fluid by suitable slurry sampler approved by the Engineer-in-Charge, in first few piles and at a suitable interval of piles thereafter and the results recorded. Control of consistency of drilling mud shall be carried out throughout boring as well as concreting operations. Care shall be exercised to preserve correct cover and alignment of reinforcement and avoid any damage to it throughout the complete operation of placing the concrete. Concrete shall be placed as per Clause 7.8 of IS:2911(partI/Sec2).
