1.0 INTRODUCTION
To rectify the flaws or defects found during the sonic logging test. Drilling for
the concrete to the defects depth as per required. Clean the defects or
contaminated concrete or soft toe based. Pressure grout with minimum same
grade of grout to top of pipe.
Therefore the procedure consists of following sequence;
i. Drilling of concrete
ii. Cleaning of pile and
iii. Pressure grouting

Depending on the behaviour of soil encountered on-site, the borehole may be temporarily cased.
Upon reaching rock or firm soil strata, drilling can be continued without casing.

API pipes installation : -

If a mobile crane is to be used for, move the drilling rig back. The pipe shall also be lowered
segment-by-segment using a mobile crane. Cordon the area for safety reasons.
If the drilling rig winch is to be used, lift the pipes up segment-by-segment using the winch.
Cordon the area for safety reasons.
The joints of the API Pipe, if present, shall be properly screwed together with grease to assist the
tightening.
If welding is used, clean the edge of the pipe and conduct a full butt-weld all over the out side of
the API pipe.

5.0 CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURE

5.1 DRILLING WITH DHT HAMMER

5.1.1 Drilling the bored pile to defects depth by using DHT hammer.
For drilling into soils and weathered rock above the solid rock formation,
the down-the-hole hammer will also be employed. Faster and more
efficient drilling

5.1.2 Drilling Rig was set at the top of the pile, drilled to the depth where the
flaws or defects depth as shown in the Sonic Logging report.

5.1.3 Drilling in concrete shall be done by the Down-the-Hole (DTH)

pneumatic hammer method, used for hard rock formation. The system
employs a pneumatic self-actuating hammer at the end of the drill rod
that strikes the drilling surface while the drill rod is slowly rotated.

5.1.4 An air compressor will be used for powering the hammer. The air used to
drive the hammer as the hole is advanced removes cuttings
continuously.

5.2 BASE CLEANING

5.2.1 Upon completion of the drilling, the borehole is cleaned by flushing out
any debris and soft concrete from the inside of the borehole with
recirculation water or air.

5.3 PRESSURE GROUTING WORK

5.3.1 2 stages grouting to be carried out after the socket to concrete pile coring to be
sealed.
i. Stage 1- Lower the HDPE pipe to toe of cored hole and flush out to pure grout
observed.
ii. Stage 2- Connect to HDPE pipe to the sealed connector to carry out the pressure
grout. Close the valve to create pressure to the grout.
5.3.2 Observed the pressure gauge to ensure the grout achieved required pressure.

The pressure grout to be carried out until required pressure 5 bars and hold time 5 minutes in order to fill
any gap or void

DESIGN MIX FOR GROUT G40

GROUT MIX
The proportions of grout and the minimum strength of work cubes shall comply with the
following requirements:
GROUT MIX 2
Range of water/cement ratio 0.45
Cement 150 kg (3 bags)
Water 67.5 kg (liter)
Sika- intraplast –Z 1.5 kg (1% weight of cement)
Target Resistance to crushing 40 N/mm2 (28 days)

The quantities of cement in the mix 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.
Non-shrink admixture (SIKA Intraplast-Z ) shall be added at approximately 1% by weight.
*All grouting works to be carried out by BGE skilled workers

6.0 SAFETY AND HEALTH

 Safety features:
 All supervisor and labors are to wear safety helmet and safety boot when entering to
site.

 All workers and supervisors shall aware of dangerous anytime at anyway in site.
 Machinery and equipment:
 All machinery and equipment are to be check at the beginning of work to ensure that
it is well functioning.
