11.6.5.3

Transportation
Concrete shall be transported to place of pour as far as possible in most efficiently,
conveniently and without loss of concrete characteristic. Method of transportation
shall depend upon the location, size and nature of work. Concrete should be placed
within hour of production i.e. prior to initial set.
Use of admixtures such as air entraining agent, retarders etc. shall be adopted and
incorporated into design mix stage.
Concrete shall be kept in agitating state when ambient temperatures are high. This
shall increase placing time to 1 hrs after water is added.
Points to be taken care are

shall conform to relevant Indian standard. Daily returns shall be provided

showing total volume of each class of concrete received.
b)

Pumping of concrete
Stationery or mobile pumps as per requirements shall be deployed. Concrete
shall be continuous to avoid any blockage within pump. Concrete mix shall
be with slump as desired by pump manufacturer and most desirable at site to
pump operator / supervisor.
Required piping, bends, clamps, chutes etc. shall be well organized and
placed in position prior to start so continuous concrete with minor changes
will keep concrete flowing at predetermined location in approved manner.
Mix design adopted shall be approved by PMC and shall conform all test as
detailed in specification.
Pump concrete shall flow quite fast and is placed with larger impact on
formwork. Hence special precautions at design stage of formwork shall be
taken and staging/scaffolds should be well restrained in all directions to
withstand thrust.
Pumping shall be done with due care and safety. Recommendation of pump
suppliers shall be followed strictly.

c)

Field control
Sampling at both truck discharge and point of final placement shall be
employed to determine if any changes in the slump and other
significant mix characteristics occur. However, for determining strength
of concrete, cubes shall be taken from the placement end of line.

d)

Planning
Proper planning of concrete supply, pump locations, line layout, placing
sequence, and the entire pumping operation shall be made and got
approved. The pump should be as near the placing area as
practicable, and the entire surrounding area shall have adequate
bearing strength to support concrete delivery pipes. Lines from pump
to the placing area should be laid out with a minimum of bends. For
large placing areas , alternate lines should be installed for rapid
connection when required. Standby power and pumping equipment
should be provided to replace initial equipment, should breakdown
occur.
The placing rate should be estimated so that concrete can be ordered
at an appropriate delivery rate.

e)

Technical Specifications

As a final check, the pump should be started and operated without

concrete to be certain that all moving parts are operating properly. A
grout mortar should be pumped in to the lines to provide lubrication for
the concrete, but this mortar shall not be used in the placement.
When the form is nearly full, and there is enough concrete in the line
to complete the placement, the pump shall be stopped and a go-devil

FINISHING PILE HEADS

12.1

All piles shall be cast minimum 300mm above cut-off to permit all laitance and
unsound concrete to be removed.

12.2

Immediately on completion of concreting operation, green concrete above the cut-off

shall be removed by bailer or any other approved method. The removal of such
concrete shall be 15mm from the cut-off level.
On removal of concrete to the required cut-off level, concrete shall be fully rammed
with rammer provided with spikes. This is to ensure that concrete is fully compacted
and air voids are eliminated.

TOLERANCES

13.1

The Contractor shall exercise every care to ensure that all the piles are located at the
correct assigned positions as indicated in the drawings. The piles shall be, as
accurately as possible, true to the vertical.

13.2

Permissible positional deviation for bored piles shall not be greater than 7.5 cm at the
level of the bottom of the pile cap. The deviation from the vertical shall not be more
than 1 in 100.

14.0

RECORDS
A competent supervisor shall be present to record the necessary information when
the pile is being installed. The data record shall be kept in the form as prescribed in
IS 2911(Part I-Section2) Appendix D or as directed by the PMC or as per enclosed
formats herein. However the formats will be frozen before start of piling work.

15.0

DEFECTIVE PILES

15.1

16.0

LOAD TEST
Two types of test will be carried out on piles.
1)

Integrity test

2)

High strain dynamic test

Integrity test shall be carried out on all piles whereas the dynamic test shall be
carried out subsequently on selected few piles.
Both the tests shall be carried out through a specialized agency approved by PMC.

16.1

Testing Procedure
Procedure recommended by the specialized agency shall be submitted along with
tender bid for scrutiny and approval.

16.2

Number of Test
Test shall be carried out in phased manner. After completion of about 50% of piles,
integrity test shall be carried out. At least one pile of 1200mm diameter and one pile
of 1000mm diameter shall be selected for carrying out dynamic test. On completion of
entire work the remaining piles shall be tested for integrity test and at least one more
pile of 1200mm diameter will be selected for dynamic testing. Additional test may be
carried out if required. The final decision in this regard will be made by PMC.

16.3

Failure of Test
If the result of any test is found to be unsatisfactory the Contractor shall carry out
remedial measures after obtaining due approvals from PMC and cost of repeating
test on such pile will be borne by Contractor.

MEASUREMENTS

17.1

Mobilization, demobilization of equipment shall be measured as a separate item in

BOQ. 80% of accepted rate in the BOQ item A will be paid on full mobilisation &
balance 20% on full Demobilisation.

17.2

Boring shall be measured separately in running meters and length shall be from
bottom level of the pile cap to the bottom of level of pile.

17.3

Concrete shall be measured separately in running meters from the founding level to
300 mm above the theoretical cut-off level of the pile. Volume of Concrete shall be
paid on theoretical volume of pile.

17.4

Reinforcement in piling shall be paid separately.

17.5

Vertical Load testing shall be paid separately.

PILE INSTALLATION RECORD

In general, pile installation record shall be maintained in the following format.
However, if the Contractor has any other format, he may furnish the same. In any
case, all the data mentioned below must be incorporated in the alternate format.
