6. METHODOLOGY
Necessary survey is to be completed and pile points marked. The pile location is set out
with respect to the control points by suitable pin marked at location and checked by
Engineer’s representative. The permission to start boring will be obtained in writing as
per the checklist. The guide points (min. 2 nos.) as per enclosed sketch are fixed at
suitable location outside the casing for future reference and the reference points are
guarded. Recording of Ground levels shall be taken prior to starting of work jointly with
GC Engineer. The setting out of each pile shall be agreed with the Engineer prior to
commencement of work.
Prior to starting piling work, pile cap diagonal trenching shall be done at each pile
location to identify the underground utilities. If any utilities are found the same shall be
reported to GC/NMRCL immediately.
Tripod Rig to be positioned at the pre marked pile point. After necessary checks for
verticality of the Tripod Rig, boring will be started by bailer and Chisel. On completion of
boring up to about 2m on top, temporary steel casing pipe will be installed in position
DETAIL SCHEMES / METHODS REV. : R0
using Tripod Rig. The casing pipe will be gradually pushed to the required depth &
simultaneously boring will be done; ensuring verticality. Casing shall be driven preferably
in one piece. The diameter of cutting tool shall in no case be less than the diameter of
the pile minus 75 mm. The working level should be 0.3m to 0.5 meter above ground
level. Top level of the casing shall be recorded along with GC Engineer. The centre line
of the casing pipe is then checked with respect to the reference points with total station.
Care shall be taken during driving to keep shift and verticality with in specified limits that
is for verticality 1.5% and 75mm for shift. After concreting the casing is extracted.
6.3 BORING:
Boring operation will be done by Hydraulic rotary rig with the help of Kelly and bucket.
The size of bucket shall not be less than 1125mm for 1200mm dia pipe. After completion
of boring, founding level will be checked with sounding chain. Immediately after
completion of boring the R/F cage fabricated as per the detailed drawing and approved
BBS is lowered. If, due to any reason starting of R/F cage lowering is delayed 2hrs, the
borehole will be clean by cleaning bucket and founding level is checked at 4 locations
inside circumference of pile with sounding chain again.
In case of end bearing piles founded in rock, minimum socketing length shall be followed
as per approved by designer.
Excavated material from pile boring should be directly loaded to the trucks and
transported to dumping areas. It should not allow being stacked at site.
DETAIL SCHEMES / METHODS REV. : R0
Polymer
Use of polymer in stabilizing of pile borehole may also necessary together with
temporary or permanent casing wherever sub soil and ground water conditions are likely
to case instability of pile bore or sand boiling. However, this will be permitted only when
deemed necessary by Engineer. In such situations, the properties of polymer slurry used
& quality control shall be as per requirements given below. After installation of temporary
casing, the drilling operation will continuously proceed together with the application of
polymer slurry. The polymer shall be mixed with water in proportion according to
manufacturer in separate tank. The capacity of mixing tank shall be more than 1.5 times
of volume of the bore hole for which the polymer is to be used. For mixing and
application of polymer with water, agitator & pumping arrangement fixed with mixing tank
shall be used. Prior to preparation of mixture, care shall be given to cleanness of storage
tank and PH value of fresh water is to be between 7 to 9.
Properties of Polymer

Viscosity
After achieving initial rock level & quality of rock is checked by GC/NMRCL. After
approval further boring in rock is started by Tripod winch.
Chiseling by using Tripod Winch is done upto desired depth in rock as per approved
drawings by using suitable capacity of chisel and Polymer Slurry. Cleaning will be done
by bailer at suitable intervals. One extra safety rope shall be used long with the Chisel.
drawings. Helicals / rings are tied as per approved drawing and main reinforcement laps
are properly welded to provide more rigidity to the cage. The cage is further lowered in
the borehole. MS Pipe of 2.9 mm thick 50 mm outer dia shall be installed according to
drawing for Cross hole sonic test. Also earthing rod shall be provided as per approved
drawing.
Circular Cover Block of 150mm dia shall be made with the same grade of concrete as
that of pile concrete and fixed to either the main bar or to helical as mentioned in
drawings. The cover block shall be provided at approximately 1.2 to 1.5 meters intervals
and suitably staggered. The strength of concrete cover blocks will be same as that of
concrete in pile.
6.8 CONCRETING:
Funnel shall be attached on top of the tremie pipe for pouring of concrete. The concrete
shall be placed in the bore through the tremie. The bottom of the Tremie shall be 300
mm (approx) above the bottom of the bore. Before the first charge of concrete is placed
in the funnel, a floating plug will be inserted in to the tremie pipe and a suitable plate will
close the mouth of the tremie at top. During concreting care has to be taken to see that
the tremie pipe is always embedded in concrete by 1.0 to 1.5 m.
DETAIL SCHEMES / METHODS REV. : R0
If Cut off level (COL) is less than 1.0 m below the ground level, concrete shall be cast at
top of the piling platform level and overflow the concrete. In case COL of Pile is more
than 1.0m below working level then concrete shall be cast to a minimum of one meter
above COL.
Preparation of concrete graph indicating the theoretical and actual quantity of concrete
used at various depths to determine the extent at location of over break. Incase of
chocking of tremie the additional set of tremie to be used so that the same can be
inserted in the concrete by more than one meter.
Prior to utilization of materials needed tests has to be done in the laboratories in the
presence of GC/NMRCL.
(A) Concrete
Grade of Concrete As per drawing
Slump of concrete 150 to 175 mm
The maximum size of Coarse aggregate shall not exceed 20mm

Cement and IS 269 Ordinary Portland cement or any other cement as per
technical specification and directions of Engineer.
Minimum cement content for design Mix shall not be less than 400kg/m3
For Piling, quantity of cement shall be as per the Design Mix or the min. cement
content whichever is greater.
Concrete cube shall be tested as per specifications.
6.10 EQUIPMENTS
As per actual site condition the number of equipment mentioned above may increase or
decrease. Any other equipments, machinery, tools and plants etc. whenever required to
complete the work successfully shall be deployed.
Barricade having suitable width and length shall be erected at construction work location.
Suitable reflectors, blinkers, diversion board, proper illumination, painting of barricade etc. shall
be provided to caution the road users and their safety.
All site personnel shall be provided with PPE’s.
