This work shall consist of the supply, installation and testing of piles in accordance with this
Specification and the lines, levels, grades and cross-section shown on the Drawings and as
directed by the S.O.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR TOLERANCES

Setting Out

Setting out shall be carried out using the data and references points as shown on the
Drawings. Immediately before installation of the pile, the pile position shall be marked with
suitable identifiable pins, pegs or markers.
Position
For a pile cut off at or above ground level the maximum permitted deviation of the pile centre
from the centre points shown on the Drawings shall not exceed 75 mm in any direction. For a
pile cut off below ground level an increase in this tolerance is permitted in accordance with
vertically and rake here in below.
Vertically
The maximum permitted deviation of the finished pile from the vertical is 1 in 75
Rake
The piling rig shall be set and maintained to attain the required rake. The maximum permitted
deviation of the finished pile from the specified rake or the rake shown on the Drawings is 1
in 25.
Forcible Corrections
Forcible Corrections to concrete piles shall not be permitted. Forcible corrections may be
permitted to other types of piles if approved by the S.O. However, no forcible corrections
shall be made to piles which have deviated beyond the permissible limits specified in
Position, Vertically and Rake above.
Piles Out of Alignment or Position
The Contractor shall, if ordered by the S.O., extract and reinstall any pile which has deviated
out of position or alignment by more than the specified limits, or alternatively the
substructure shall be modified to the approval of the S.O. The cost of such extraction and
reinstallation or any extra cost in the design and construction of a modified foundation shall
be borne by the Contractor if, in the opinion of the S.O., such extra works have been made
necessary due to the error and/or negligence of the Contractor.
Records
The Contractor shall keep records of the installation of each pile as required by the S.O. and
shall submit two signed copies of these records to the S.O. not later than at noon of the next
working day after the pile has been installed. The signed records shall from part of the
records for the Works.
Any unexpected driving or boring conditions shall be noted in the records.

BORED CAST IN-PLACE PILES

Description
This work shall comprise the boring or grabbing, with or without casing, and subsequently
filling the hole with plain or reinforced concrete to form bored cast-in-situ piles, all in
accordance with this Specification and to the details shown in the Drawings.
Materials
Concrete and Reinforcement
The concrete and reinforcement to be used and workmanship for bored cast-in-situ piles shall
be as specified under Section 9 of this Specification. The grade of concrete and the details of
reinforcement to be used shall be as shown on the Drawings.

Permanent Casings
Permanent casings which from part of the designed pile shall be as specified in the Drawings.
Drilling Fluid
Drilling fluid material, bentonite, shall comply with Specification No. DF CP4 of the Oil
Companies Materials Association or its equivalent. A certificate shall be obtained by the
Contractor from the manufacturer of the bentonite powder, showing the properties of each
consignment delivered to the site. This certificate shall be made available to the S.O. on
request.
Bentonite shall be mixed thoroughly with clean fresh water to make a suspension which will
maintain the stability of the pile excavation for the period necessary to place concrete and
complete construction. Preparation of the suspension shall comply with the manufacturers
instructions.
Where saline or chemically contaminated ground water occurs, special precautions shall be
taken to modify the bentonite suspension or pre-hydrate the bentonite in fresh water to render
it suitable in all respects for the construction of piles.
Boring Operations

Diameter of Piles
The diameter of piles shall not be less than the specified design diameter at any level
throughout its length.
Boring
Boring shall be carried down to the depth as required and directed by the S.O.
When deemed necessary by the S.O., the Contractor shall take undisturbed soil samples while
the pile is being bored. The samples shall be taken to an approved Laboratory for testing.
Sampling and all subsequent handling and testing shall be carried out in accordance with
B.S.5930.
Piles shall not be bored close to other piles which have recently been cast and which contain
workable or unset concrete, such that a flow of concrete could be induced from or damage
caused to any of the pile
Temporary Casings
Temporary casings of approved quality or an approved alternative method shall be used to
maintain the stability of pile excavations which might otherwise collapse.

Temporary casings shall be free from significant distortion. They shall be of uniform crosssection throughout each continuous length. During concreting they shall be free from internal
projections and encrusted concrete which might prevent the proper formation of the piles
being cast.
Stability of Piling Excavations Using Drilling Fluid
Where the use of drilling fluid or column of water is approved for maintaining the stability of
boring, the level of fluid or column of water in the excavation shall be maintained such that
the fluid pressure always exceeds the pressure exerted by the soil and external ground water
and an adequate temporary casing shall be used in conjunction with the method to ensure the
stability of the strata near ground level until concrete has been placed. The fluid water level
shall be maintained at a level not less than 1 metre above the level of the external ground
water.
In the event of a rapid loss of bentonite suspension or water from the piling excavation, the
excavation shall be backfilled without delay and the instructions of the S.O. shall be obtained
prior to resuming boring at the location.
Spillage and Disposal
All reasonable steps shall be taken to prevent the spillage of bentonite suspension or water on
the site in areas outside the immediate vicinity of the boring operations. Discarded bentonite
water shall be removed from the site without delay. The disposal of bentonite water shall
comply with the regulations of the Local Controlling Authorities.
Pumping of Boreholes
Pumping from the borehole shall not be permitted unless a casing has been placed in to the
stable stratum to prevent the further ingress of water in significant quantities from other strata
into the boring, or, unless it can be shown that pumping will not have a detrimental effect on
the surrounding soil or its properties.

Continuity of Construction
A pile constructed in stable soil, without the use of temporary casings or other support, shall
be bored and concreted without delay to ensure that the soil characteristics are not
significantly altered.
Enlarged Pile Bases
The enlarged pile base shall not be smaller than the dimensions specified and shall be
concentric with the pile shaft diameter. A sloping surface of the frustum forming the
enlargement shall make an angle to the horizontal of not less than 55o.

Cleanliness of Pile Bases

On completion of boring, loose, disturbed or remoulded soil or fragments of rock shall be
removed from the base of the pile.
Inspection
For dry bore holes, each hole shall be inspected prior to the placing of concrete in it. The
inspection shall be carried out from the ground surface in the case where the borehole
diameter is less than 750 mm. Where the borehole diameter exceeds 750 mm, adequate
equipment conforming to B.S.5930 shall be provided to enable the Contractor and the S.O. to
descend into the borehole for the purpose of inspection.
For wet bore holes, i.e. holes filled with drilling fluid or water, a suitable probe shall be
provided to ascertain the evenness and cleanliness of the pile base.
Placing of Reinforcement
Joints in Longitudinal Bars
Reinforcement shall be such that the full strength of the bar is effective across the joint and
the joint shall be made so that there is no relative displacement of the reinforcement during
the construction of the pile and the spacing of the reinforcing bars shall be maintained in such
a way that proper concreting shall not be impeded.
Positions of Reinforcement
Adequate spacer blocks, guide tubes, and lifting wires shall be provided so as to maintain the
reinforcing steel in the positions as specified.
Where temporary casings are employed, the longitudinal reinforcement shall extend at least
1.0 metre below the bottom of the casing so that movement of the reinforcement during
extraction of the casing is minimised.

Concreting Operations
Placing Concrete
The method of placing and the workability of concrete shall be such that a continuous
monolithic concrete shaft of the full cross-section is formed.
Workability of Concrete
The workability of the concrete shall be determined by the slump test as described in M.S.26.

The suggested slump details for typical concreting situations shall be as specified in Table
10.1 below. The slump shall be measured at the time.

of discharge into the borehole.

Compaction
Internal vibrators shall not be used to compact concrete unless it can be satisfied that they
will not cause segregation or arching of the concrete.
Placing Concrete In Dry Borings
Approved measures shall be taken to avoid segregation and bleeding and to ensure that the
concrete at the bottom of the pile is not deficient in grout.
Where piles are vertical, concrete may be poured through a funnel with a length of tube so
that the flow is directed and does not hit reinforcement bars or the side of the hole. Chutes
extending to near the base shall be employed for raking piles of large diameter. For raking
piles of small diameter, an enriched mix shall be used in the first few batches of concrete to
minimise segregation.
Placing Concrete Under Water or Drilling Fluid
Concrete to be placed under water or drilling fluid shall be placed by tremie unless otherwise
approved and shall not be discharged freely into the water or drilling fluid.
Before placing concrete, measures shall be taken to ensure that there is no accumulation of
silt or other material at the base of the boring.

The hopper and pipe of the tremie shall be clean and watertight throughout. The pipe shall
extend to the base of the boring and sliding plug or barrier shall be placed in the pipe to
prevent direct contact between the first charge of concrete in the pipe of the tremie and the
water or drilling fluid. The tremie pipe shall at all times penetrate the concrete which has
previously been placed and shall not be withdrawn from the concrete until the completion of
concreting. At all times, a sufficient quantity of concrete shall be maintained within the
tremie pipe to ensure that the pressure from it exceeds that from the water or drilling fluid.
The internal diameter of the tremie pipe shall not be less than 150 mm for concrete made with
20 mm aggregate and not less than 200 mm for concrete made with 40 mm aggregate. The
tremie pipe shall be so designed that external projections are minimised, allowing the tremie
pipe to pass through the reinforcing cage without causing damage or uplifting. The internal
face of the tremie pipe shall be from projections.
Extraction of Casing
Workability of Concrete
Temporary casings shall be extracted while the concrete within them remains sufficiently
workable to ensure that the concrete is not lifted.
Concrete Level
When the casing is being extracted, a sufficient quantity of concrete shall be maintained
within it to ensure that the pressure from external water, drilling fluid or soil is exceeded and
that the pile is neither reduced in section nor contaminated.
No concrete shall be placed in the boring once the bottom of the casings has been lifted above
the top of the concrete; it shall be placed continuously as the casing is extracted until the
desired head of concrete is obtained.
Adequate precautions shall be taken in all cases where excess heads of water or drilling fluid
could be caused as the casing is withdrawn because of the displacement of water or fluid by
the concrete as it flows into its final position against the wall of the pile shaft. Where double
casings are used in the boring, the proposed method of working shall be with the approval of
the S.O.
Vibrating Extractors
The use of vibrating extractors shall be permitted subject to the condition that work shall be
carried out in such a manner and at such times as to minimise nuisance and disturbance.
Construction of Pile Heads
Water Levels
In the event of the ground water level being higher than the required pile head casting level
shown on the Drawings, the Contractor shall submit his proposals for approval prior to

placing concrete. The pile head shall not be left below theground water level unless approved
precautions are taken.
Cutting and Preparation of Pile Heads
The top of the pile shall be brought above the cut-off level of the pile to permit all laitance
and weak concrete to be removed and to ensure that if can be properly keyed into the pile
cap. Pile heads shall be constructed to the details shown on the Drawings.
Temporary Backfilling Above Pile Casting Level
After each pile has been cast, any empty bore remaining shall be protected and shall be
carefully backfilled as soon as possible with approved materials.

GEOTECHNICAL WORK

CONSTRUCTION CAST IN SITU

FOR 600mm DIAMETER BORED PILES

INTRODUCTION

Piling is a type of ground treatment which is driving a pile into the ground level. Except sheet
pile, other piles like concrete pile, timber pile, steel pile, bored pile are used to transfer the
building load to the ground. Its used to strengthen the soil so that the ground able to support
the load of the building. While sheet pile is usually used to support lateral load and act as a
supporting wall.

Factors influencing the pile selection are based on the type of piles available in market,
installation method, contractual requirement, site conditions & constraints, type and
magnitude of loading and development program & cost.
Pile can be done in two type, precast concrete pile or cast-in-situ concrete pile. Normally
precast concrete pile is used for building work or we can known it as spun pile or RC square
pile ( reinforcement concrete square pile ). While cast-in-situ concrete pile is used for bridge
work or we can known it as bored pile because bridge work has a larger load compare to
building work.
In this project, bored piles are used as the foundation for the bridge structures. The bored pile
is a type of foundation usually used in property construction as an alternative for other
foundation methods when earth isnt strong enough to support standard foundations. Have a
lot advantage used the bored pile as foundations.
Therefore, length can be readily varied to suit varying ground conditions, soil removed in
boring can be inspected and if necessary sampled or in situ tests made, can be installed in
very large diameters, end enlargements up to two or three diameters are possible in clays,
material of pile is not dependent on handling oor driving conditions, can be installed in very
long lengths, can be installed without appreciable noise or vibration, can be installed in
conditions of very low head-room and no risk of ground heave.
Prior to the piling work, pre-drilling of a borehole drilled at each proposed pile position was
required to determine the founding level of each pile. Rocket socket design factors depend on
socket roughness ( shearing dilation ), intact rock, confining stiffness ( rock mass fractures &
pile diameter 0 and socket geometry ratio.
