Setting out the bored pile locations and reference points shall be install each locations.
Permanent bench mark and references point shall be concrete and stable.
Employer/Engineer shall be approved each reference points prior start drilling works.
The drilling process will be continued to the designed founding depth or to the
Commencement of rock head level by using augers and drilling buckets.
At the point of encountering the rock head level, for examples, where the soil
drilling tools are unable to penetrate the strata any further, boring shall cease in order
that the client’s representative may verify the occurrence and confirm the rock socketing
criteria.
For drilling through rock, rock drilling tools shall be applied. This shall include
rock auger, core barrels, (round shank, roller bit) cross cutters and where
Necessary, chisels.
The final toe level of the pile shall be verified by the client’s representative. A
Detailed record of all encountered ground conditions together with the associated times
and type of equipment and materials used will be recorded in the ‘Pile Bore Log.

Upon reaching the final depth, loose and remolded material and debris will be
Removed using ‘cleaning bucket’. The cleaning bucket is a specially design flat bottom
bucket which will pick up all the loose material at the bottom of the hole. The base of the
hole shall be checked by the measuring the depth of the base.
Wash boring, installation of temporary casing, Installation of steel cage, concrete casting
and testing shall be done by the bored pile contractor. All laitance shall be removed from
the site after completion of boring. It shall be cross check by the environmental officer
during the boring.
Cross hole sonic logging test will be done within 10 days no sooner than 3 days.
Abutment wall and Wing wall could be casted 2 times up to bearing pad. Maximum
Concrete casting height shall be 2.4 m as per BS 8110. Dowels shall be kept to the
Ballast Wall, Curtain Wall and Rest of wing wall. Prior casting bearing pad, 200mm length
stainless steel dowels shall be kept as per the drawing. Purpose of dowels will be anchor
to the precast beam stop moving or shifting the precast beam.
Formwork of pier bottom level shall be place on the scaffolding top level as per the
drawing mentioned levels. Then could be started reinforcement works on pier cap. After
completion of reinforcement and formwork, Concrete casting could be started by ready
5
mix concrete. Each Bearing pad shall be constructed separately using Non shrink mortar
(G40).
Backfilling shall be done prior start precast beam launching. It shall be done as per the
drawing section of abutment. On the top of abutment base shall be placed clay puddle as
per the drawing. Thereafter 50-200mm dry stone lining and geotextile will be laid between
the gravel layer and dry stone lining. This will be continued to top level. All gravel layers
shall be 225mm before compaction.
02 no of 25 Ton crane shall be used for installation of precast beam. Safety officer shall
be responsible for the lifting activities. He shall inspect the all machineries and equipment
which are using for the lifting activities. As well lifting plan shall be submitted to Employer
/ Engineer prior start installation of precast beam and it shall be approved by the
Employer / Engineer.
