– 3.1 General Introduction
– 3.2 Uses of Piles
– 3.3 Construction Method of Bored Cast-in-situ Bored Piles
• Positioning - Set up of the rig at the pile location so that the pile
point aligns with the appropriate tool center
• Using a short temporary casing can simplify the pile setting up
• two perpendicular reference offsets are measured and steel pins
driven to the ground (offsets – 1m plus half fcasing
• Casing is then positioned by measuring from the offsets to the
wall of the casing in two perpendicular directions
• checking the verticality of the casing with spirit levels, the casing
is pushed (or rotated) into the ground.

3.3.2. Drilling of Borehole
• Starting point –
– Testing aggregates – if meet requirement
– Visual test – flaky not acceptable – reduce workability
– Mix design – after aggregates pass
– Trial mix – check workability and sample for cubes – strength
test
• Additives essential for piling concrete

3.4.1 Reinforcement Steel
– In construction
» Setting out – deviation within tolerance
» Verticality – plumb
» Adequate sampling and testing of steel (new
delivery)
» Regular checks of workability (every truck)
» Cube sampling (~ depends on job size)
