DBQ 2324 UKUR BINAAN II

MEASUREMENT 1 – PILING WORKS

Types of piles:

1. Driven pile
a. Bakau
b. Timber/tanalised timber
c. Precast concrete
d. Steel - H pile

2. Bored pile
Normally concrete based.

3. Sheet pile
a. Steel sheet pile
b. Concrete sheet pile
NOTE:
All piling works are classified as PROVISIONAL due to the
uncertainty in determining the ‘extent of work’ i.e the depth of
penetration of pile.

Therefore, the quantities measured in the bill will be subject to

remeasurement after completion of the piling works. This will be
done using the piling records prepared during the execution of the
works.
