2.0 CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURE

2.1 Survey Setting Out

• Licensed surveyor shall carry out the setting out works according to the construction
drawing
• Site Supervisor must ensure the piling points setting out peg are properly installed

2.2 Pile Production

• Site supervisors to ensure the materials used and spacing of steel bars and links
comply with specification

2.3 Material Incoming Checklist

• Site supervisors to ensure that the R.C. square piles delivered to site comply with to
the specification. (E.g. Hooks, size and etc.)
• Site supervisors to check for crack and bend of the R.C. piles supplied
• Site supervisors to ensure the R.C. piles are properly unloaded by crane operator
• Site supervisors to ensure that the R.C. piles are placed on adequate supports located
under the lifting point of the pile

2.4 Pile Test

Test pile will be carried out according to the location given by the C&S consultants.
The PDA Test Report and the Static Load Test Report (with Professional Engineer
endorsement) prepared by a specialist company will be submitted to Consultant for
approval.

2.4.1 PDA Test

• Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA test) will be carried out by a specialist
company to check the pile capacity and pile integrity witness by the Clerk
