Federation of Piling Specialists (the “FPS”)

Rig Loadings Spreadsheet (the “Spreadsheet”)

Disclaimer

The Spreadsheet has been designed without liability with the intention of
assisting in the calculation of track bearing pressures for use in the BRE
Design Method[1]. The Spreadsheet contains sample data, which are
intended only to illustrate how the Spreadsheet may be operated, and do
not represent any specific rig .

The Spreadsheet is intended for use only by a competent person. It is

intended to assist in calculating the track loadings that occur when a vertical
mast is aligned on the longitudinal axis of the upper body of the piling rig. It
makes no allowance for the effects on track loadings caused by raking the
mast in any direction, or resulting from any suspended loads that are
eccentric to the longitudinal axis of the piling rig. It does not take into
account any changes in track loadings that may occur with a piling rig that is
able to rotate the mast about its vertical axis.

Whilst we have taken steps to check the accuracy of the Spreadsheet, the
FPS and the authors of the Spreadsheet do not give any warranty,
guarantee, representation or other assurance as to: the operation, quality or
functionality of the Spreadsheet; the accuracy or completeness of the
Spreadsheet; or its fitness for any particular purpose.

To the fullest extent permissible by law, the FPS and the authors of the
Spreadsheet each disclaim all responsibility for any damages or losses
(including, without limitation, financial loss, damages for loss in business
projects, loss of profits or other consequential losses) arising in contract, tort
or otherwise from the use of or inability to use the Spreadsheet, or from any
action or decision taken as a result of using the Spreadsheet.
