SAFE WORK METHOD STATEMENT

FOR
CONTIGUOUS BORED PILE
 GRAND DYNAMIC BUILDERS SDN BHD

A. CONTIGUOUS BORED PILE WORKS- GENERAL

1.0 SUPERVISION TEAM

The Site Supervisory Team shall be headed by the Site Agent and assisted by
the Site Supervisors to ensure that the requirements of approved designs are
strictly implemented.

2.0 MATERIALS

2.1 Concrete

The concrete to be used in this work shall be based on concrete supplier

determine by Main-Contractor.

2.2 Steel Bars

Steel bars of Grade 460 weldable to be used in the works shall comply with
B.S. 4449: 1997. The steel bar to be used in this work shall be based on
materials supplied by Main-Contractor.

3.0 QA/QC PROCEDURE FOR BORED PILING WORKS

3.1 Survey Work/Setting Out Work

In order to ensure that the physical work is constructed at location as

designed the following checks will be executed. (To be provided by main
contractor)

3.1.1 The Contractor shall use the block pegging drawing as endorsed by licensed
surveyor in accordance with architect’s setting out plan. Temporary Bench
Mark (TBM) and the established TBMs will now be the datum for daily use for
surveying of ground level (To be provided by main contractor)

3.1.2 All pile positions will be pre-surveyed and properly marked using suitable
steel bars. The peg(s) will be planted such that about 25-50mm of the peg
protruded above the ground level.

3.1.3 Every peg position will be randomly checked again by the Contractor’s
Supervisor prior to boring.

3.1.4 Each of the TBM’s will be rechecked against the original

control points periodically.

B. CONTIGUOUS BORED PILE WORKS - INSTALLATION PROCESS

General

Contiguous bored pile walls are formed by constructing continuity of reinforced concrete
bored piles. The piles are reinforced with steel rebar and construct similarly as per
methodology construction of bored pile.

1.0 Position of Bored Pile

As similarly of the construction of bored pile, peg will be given by surveyor (Provided
by Main Contractor) for the center position of each bored pile. The gap between two
bored piles is typically 50mm.

2.0 Installation of Casing

The vibro-hammer drives a casing into the ground, leaving about 1 meter length of
the casing protruding from the ground

3.0 Augering of Borehole

The auger, a drilling tool, cuts and removes the soil within the casing to form primary
borehole. The soil surrounding the borehole is supported by the casing. If the casing
is not long enough to reach the required depth in the ground, water will be use as
stability fluid to support the soil below the casing.

4.0 Installation of Steel Cage

The crane lifts up the steel cage and places it within the borehole.

5.0 Concreting of Borehole

Concrete is poured into the borehole to form the bored pile.

6.0 Extraction of Casing

The Vibro-hammer used to extracts the casing after completion of concreting.

7.0 Repetition of Process

Step 1.0 – 6.0 are repeated till the entire length of the bored pile wall construction is
completed.

Grout Column behind Contiguous Bored Pile Wall

100mm diameter grout columns are provided behind the interfacing area of contiguous
bored piles to act as water-barrier system to prevent loss of water and fine materials behind
the contiguous bored pile wall. A gunite wall with BRC will be formed in front of the
contiguous bored pile wall to further block any ingress of water or alternatively skin wall will
be cast against the contiguous bored pile wall.
