1. General
Special attention must be paid to the condition of the
ends (bevels) and threads of piles. For example, the
protective covers of threaded splices should not be
removed before installation.
The purpose of these instructions is to provide recommendations for handling piles and pile accessories on
site, which Ruukki requires its staff and subcontractors to observe. The recommendations are based on
Ruukkis views at the time of their preparation and may
change from time to time if Ruukki deems it necessary.
One purpose of the recommendations is to prevent damages, accidents and injuries on site, but Ruukki cannot
guarantee that they will not occur even if the recommendations are observed, and assumes no responsibility for
them. The recommendations are not comprehensive and
do not provide an exhaustive description of all points to
be taken into consideration in the handling of piles and
pile accessories generally or in individual cases. Safety
practices prescribed by law and generally applied in
the sector always take precedence over these recommendations. Valid work safety guidelines must also be
observed and required personal protection equipment
used on site.

by case on site to avoid sling slippage. Where necessary, and especially in the case of long piles, an intermediate boom must be used.
Things to be considered when unloading large diameter
piles: The rising of intermediate dunnage and rolling of
piles must be prevented by fastening at least the outermost dunnage boards with a load strap to the hooks of
the pallet (see Figure 7).
4. Storage
Storage and transporting on site should be planned
in advance to minimise lifting and transportation. It is
recommended to locate the storage area away from
commonly used routes. Walking on pile bundles is not
permitted in any situation. Piles and pile accessories are
stored and handled on site so that they are not damaged.

6. Installation
Work safety must be ensured at all stages of pile installation. Possible special requirements of the installation
site as to work safety are established before starting the
installation. Piles and their accessories are to be inspected once more before installation. The pre-installation
inspection ensures that the piles have not been damaged during handling or storage on site. For installation
instructions, see the design and installation instructions
for Ruukki steel piles.
