Method Statement For Micropiling Works-Jbt. Kedua Sg. Yong

This document provides a method statement for micropiling works by Geospec Engineering Sdn. Bhd. It outlines the steps as: (1) Drilling 250mm diameter boreholes using rotary wash or down-the-hole hammer drilling, with temporary or permanent casings as needed; (2) Installing steel reinforcement cages using a drilling rig with hoist; (3) Grouting the piles with ordinary Portland cement grout placed from bottom up using a pump; and (4) Recording works and cutting piles to the specified cutoff level.

Method Statement for Micropiling Works

a. Drilling
- The borehole for micropiling shall be 250mm diameter as specified in the drawing.

- The rotary wash drilling method or Down the Hole Hammer (DTH) method will
employed with the use suitable drilling rig.

- The sinking of the borehole is carried out by a bit connected to a drill string consisting
of series of hollow drill rods.

- The rods are attached with the drill bit and are rotated with a downward pressure applied
to the drill string to obtain penetration. When the bit is advancing into the borehole,
water or air is introduced into the bottom of the borehole through the hollow drill rods
and passage into the bit.

- Water is to be supplied from high pressure water pump, whereas air is to be supplied by
high pressure compressor. The water or air in this case serves as a purpose for removing
the cuttings from the bottom of the borehole as it returns to the surface.

- The uses of temporary casings are essential to prevent cave in or collapse of the
borehole. However, in unstable soil condition vulnerable to collapse permanent casing is
required to ensure proper formation of pile.

- The borehole shall be flushed with water by high volume flow pump before installation
of the pile and grouting.

b. Steel Reinforcement
- The reinforcement shall have consisted of 4 pieces of T32 high tensile steel bars
inclusive all of spacers and R8 @ 150mm helical link as shown on the drawing.

- The reinforcement cage shall extend a length as required in the drawing. The excess
length shall be cut-off.

- The drilling rig with incorporated hoisting drum and mast shall be used for hoisting and
lowering of the reinforcement cage.

- The raked of the reinforcement will always be checked and monitored before the
grouting work is been carried out.

c. Grouting

- For grouting purposes, Ordinary Portland cement and water cement ratio of 0.45 (Grade
30 cement grout) shall be used for preparing the grout.

- A generator ran cement mixer will be used as the mixing equipment for mixing
purposes.

- The cement grouting will be placed from bottom up with heavy duty, high pressure
pump through 25-32 mm polypipe until predrilled hole is fully grouted.

- Settlement of grout, if any, will be filled with subsequent cement grout.

- Standard cubes of size 50 x 50 x 50 mm will be made during grouting and will be tested
for its 7 and 28 days’ ultimate compressive strength.

d. Record
- The drilling, installation and grouting works shall be recorded in micropiling form.

e. Pile Head
- Hack off the pile head to the cut off level and construct the pile head as specified in the
drawing
