1 PURPOSE
The purpose of this procedure is to define the methodology for the Pull Out Test to be performed
and ensure a good quality control in the final foundations of the tracker.
The tests will be performed on a sample of structure posts with the help of a mechanical system for
traction, lateral, compression loads to assure that given values by the project designer are well
supported by the posts installed at different depths and different foundations.
2 SCOPE
Scope of this method of statement is to explain the method to be used for pull out tests during
construction phase of the project and all the requirements that are complusary to apply the POT
procedure.

Load shackle to properly fix the load cell with the Slings and Chain block. The load shackle to
use must always be for larger load capacity than test request.
10 General considerations
There will be 3 type of tests (Compressive, Tensile, Lateral) performed during POT.
All the tests will be performed on piles according to the Layout for PILE TEST
(MH-CE-PP-DW-001)
Prior to start the test, all “Sample preparation steps” must be completed.
Loads must be transmitted to the posts by a chain block or a pneumatic system.
It is not allowed to apply the loads directly with the excavator or the reaction system.
Experienced POT Implementation team of piling sub-con (self execution team) will perform
POT and report will be submitted by QC department.
Test will be perfomed on 1 types of piles

During unloading stages, load value and displacement shall be recorded 1 immediately when
the load decrement has been reached.
Once the pile is in the last load step a photographic register is recommended to be taken. The
register must contain following information:

At each load increment, once test load is achieved, should wait until the displacement is
stabilized. The maximum waiting time is 3 min. if the displacement is stabilized before the
suggested time, test can go to the next step without waiting for the 3 min.
Displacement will by always in millimeters and should be registered with 2 decimals.
If once the objective load is reached for each step, it starts decreasing progressively it should
not be increased again until next load step. This is because transmitted load is transforming into
displacement and decreases tension generated.
Record test load if failure occurs at any point during testing. Failure is indicated by rapid
progressive settlement of the pile under a constant load.
Recording during unloading stages
During unloading stages, load value and displacement shall be recorded 2 immediately when
the load decrement has been reached.
Once the pile is in the last load step a photographic register is recommended to be taken. The
register should contain following information:
General vision of the test, from the base until the chain block from the front.
General vision of the test, from the base until the chain block from profile.
If the displacement of the reaction (excavator) has been measured, it should be included also a
photo of the place where it has been measured
13 COMPRESSIVE TEST
Compression test shall be executed with a jack placed between a heavy element to use as reaction
(excavator, brick blocks…) and the post to be tested.
Preparation of the test
Posts are driven into the soil at depth considered by the Designer and as showed on Section
“Loads” of this document. The part of the post with the open hole has always to be exposed.
The test can be performed using a hydraulic jack or similar. If the jack can control the pressure
will not be necessary to use the load cell.
The system must be built to register the load applied, so if the cell needs to be use it must be
between the post and the reaction.
Once the hydraulic jack has been prepared and in contact with the reaction, the dial gauge
needs to be placed to register axial movements.

Displacement of the post base (vertically and horizontal) with stabilized displacement at each
load step.
Displacement at base of the reaction (excavator) for those lateral tests with loads larger than
35kN.
Load applied at each load step.

16 HSE MEASURES
Before construction work, first check whether the PPE is prepared completely and apply for
work permit.
According to the temperature conditions of the day, adjust the working time to avoid long-term
high temperature outdoor work.
Safety engineers shall conduct "three-level" safety education and training for the on-site
management personnel of the construction operation team before the start of construction, so as
The on-site machinery and equipment shall promptly provide the relevant responsible
departments of the project department with the entry report instructions, and clarify the identity
On-site materials are arranged neatly by division, name and type, and warehouses will be
temporarily set up for materials with special storage requirements.
When the operator ascends the work platform more than 2m away from the reference surface,
he/she should wear the seat belt according to the requirements, and the seat belt should be
"high-hanging".
After the completion of the project, the construction waste shall be cleaned up and disposed of
in the designated waste yard according to the classification, and on-site incineration is strictly
prohibited.
