ABV STEEL MICROPILE SYSTEM
Installation Procedure
1. The pile main element is cut to the desired section length in the factory
(usually 2 or 3m length). The section length will depend, among other
factors, on the site condition and the driving equipment. One end of the
main element will be fitted with the coupling sleeve by heating the sleeve
to plasticise the polyethylene and then pressing the sleeve into the main
element.
2. Before installation, the bottom end of the first main element section is fitted
with a mild steel pile shoe of the appropriate size. Joining of the individual
sections during installation is accomplished in the same manner described
in paragraph 1.
3. The pile is driven with the appropriate hammer to the predetermined

driving criteria. The driving criteria using a free drop hammer may be
determined using computer wave equation analysis program. Note that
the driving criteria may only be used as a guide and may be adjusted
depending on the driving condition and load testing.
4. During driving, the vertically tolerances of vertical piles shall not exceed the
following limits:
Vertically tolerance : 1:50
5. Load testing will then be performed on selected piles using the

conventional static load test or dynamic load test (stresswave
measurement). Dynamic load test will be quicker to perform and will give
more information on the pile performance.
6. The installed pile will be cut perpendicular to its longitudinal direction at the
required cut-off level. The pile interior will be infilled with cement grout and
the pile top will then be fitted with an appropriately sized mild steel capping
plate, which is fabricated together with the capping ring and high yield
steel bar.
7. The execution of the whole work will be supervised by a qualified supervisor.

Driving record of each individual pile indicating penetration length,
number of pile elements, driving criteria, etc will be kept and submitted

When the undrained shear strength of the soil is less than 7 kN/m2 from a mean
value of a 2-metre layer or more, the allowable load should be reduced to prevent
buckling. The allowable load may be calculated as follows:
𝑄𝑎𝑙𝑙 = √15 Cu El

1.1.1 Materials

complying to current Eurocode / Singapore standard and
clean water supplied from the public mains.

The proportions of grout and the minimum strength of work

cubes shall comply with the following requirements:-
Range of Resistance to crushing

Water/Cement (cylinder / cube strength)
Ratio N/mm2
7 days 28 days
0.40 to 0.45 C 20 / 25 C 30 / 37
The quantities of cement in the mix shall be measured by

weight. The grout shall be measured by weight. The grout
shall be free from segregation, slumping and bleeding. Grout
shall be mixed on site and shall be pumped into its final
position as soon as possible and in no case more than half an
hour after mixing.
1.1.3 Primary Grouting
The grout shall be placed by tremie under low grouting

pressure in one continuous operation.
1.1.4 Primary Grout Test
A maximum of two sets of three test cubes shall be taken from

the grout mix for testing purpose, unless further tests are
required due to failure in complying with the specified
strength. Three tests cubes shall be tested at seven days and
the remaining cubes at twenty eight days after casting. All
cubes to be tested by approved testing laboritary.

1.2 Main Load-Bearing Component
1.2.1 Steel Reinforcement
The main reinforcement are of hot rolled high tensile deformed

bar with yield stress not less than 500 N/mm2, complete with
spacers and protective sheathing where required.
1.2.2 Joints
Joints by mechanical means, such as threaded splice, are

preferred, provided test result by approved authority shows
that the splices exceed the specified tensile strength of the
main steel component.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE OF MICROPILE
1. Temporary or permanent casing if required shall be installed

first in the drilling process to prevent soft soil collapse into the drill
hole.
2. Depending on the soil condition encountered, drag bit, claw

bit or tricone roller bit shall be used for drilling in soil. Recycled
drilling slurry will be used to support the drilled hole to prevent hole
collapse of soft soil. Where required, down-the-hole hammer shall be
used in rock formation.
3. Water or compressed air shall be used as flushing medium

during the process
4. Upon reaching the required depth, the bore hole shall be

clean of loose chipping/soil particles by air or water flushing.
Flushing medium is pumped through drilling rod.
5. Prefabricated reinforcement bars with centraliser shall be

lowered into the borehole together with the tremie (grout) hose. This
is done by means of drilling rig. Steel reinforcement sections of
standard length with coupler will be used to suit the availability of
headroom and the drilled depth.
6. Low pressure grouting shall be carried out by injecting at a

steady rate from the bottom of the hole through the tremie hose.
Grouting shall continue until neat grout overflow from the top of
borehole.
7. Should there be a lowering of the grout in the borehole due to

seepage or loss of grout into surrounding strata, addition grout shall
be placed into the borehole.
8. Load testing will then be performed on selected piles using the

conventional static load test or dynamic load test (stresswave
measurement). Dynamic load test will be quicker to perform and
will give more information on the pile performance.
9. The execution of the whole work will be supervised by a

qualified supervisor. Boring record of each individual pile
indicating penetration length, etc will be kept and submitted.

METHOD STATEMENT FOR INSTALLATION OF
ABV GRIP JACK-IN PILE SYSTEM
1. The existing ground surface to be prepared and compacted by the
main contractor.
2. The pile positions to be surveyed and marked on the ground

according to the construction drawing by the surveyor.
3. The piles to be installed at the positions using the self-power Grip-

Jack in machine.
4. The Grip-Jack in machine to be assembled on site, moved to piling

position, leveled and locked at the piling position for the installation
of pile.
5. First section of the pile to be placed in the center of the grip-jack

box, applied grip pressure to sides of pile, check position and
verticality using spirit level. The length of each section of pile used
varies from 4m to 12m depending on the soil conditions and height
clearance on the site.
6. Once the position and verticality confirmed, first section of the pile is
grip and jack into the ground by means of hydraulic jack mounted
on the grip-jack box. The grip and jack installation process for first
section of the pile continues until the whole section is pitched below
the grip-jack box.
7. Placed second section of the pile in the center of the grip-jack box
and jointed to the first section by means of welding or mechanical
joint in accordance to construction drawing. (Same process
repeated for all subsequent sections ). Since compressive jacking
force will not disturb the weld, thus no cooling time is required
8. Continues the grip and jack installation process for the pile until the
pre-determined set pressure for jacking is achieved. (Please refer to
the attached jack-in force table)
9. Carry out setting of the piles by maintaining the jacking set pressure
for 30 seconds for (3) cycles with set criteria of 0-5 mm.

METHOD STATEMENT
PATENTED SETTABLE FLUID PRE-LOADING SYSTEM
1. The concrete strength for pilecap required to achieve 28 days cube

strength for pre-loading
2. Record the pilecap ref. and pile ref. no.
3. Prepare “MAPEI EPOJET LV” grouting mixing ratio – A:B by volume – 2:1
4. After mixing the epoxy, pressure grout the load-cell through inlet-pipe
immediately by using high-pressure spraying pump. The pressure apply
shall be in accordance to Appendix I.
5. Lock the one way value once the required pressure is achieved.
6. Move to the next pile with the similar procedure.
7. The inlet-pipe will be cut accordingly, within 24hrs after the preloading is
completed.

The Patented Settable Fluid Pre-loading system is used where preloading is required for
underpinning works.
Underpinning is method used to strengthen existing foundation, through the installation of

micropiles around the existing foundation and then construction of combined foundation.
Pre-loading of piles, an additional procedure introduced in conjunction with underpinning,

involves pumping a settable fluid into pre-loading cell placed on the top of the piles. This
causes a reduction in the settlement. The pre-loading pressure can be permanently
maintained upon hardening of the infill chemical. Thus this system provides a relatively simple
to used and yet reliable preloading mechanism.
LOAD CELL MAIN ELEMENT
External Diameter : 180 mm

Internal Diameter : 150 mm
