A. OBJECTIVE
1) To outline the sequence of work or construction methodology
for Piling Works at Sg Jempol, Sg Pelangai and Sg Jemapoh
.Methodology starts from survey setting out until excess pile
cutting until as-built drawing submission for Consultant
review.
2) To outline preparation or coordination required before start
work
3) To outline quality plan or inspection test required during
project implementation.
4) To perform safe working environment and compliance to the
safety requirements.

G. WORK METHODOLOGY
1) Soil Investigation
2) Survey Setting Out (Pile Position)
The surveyor will set out the alignment of the pipe by means
of EDM using the marking on the piles and the pump house
as a reference point.
Lower down the pile into position as in above step by using
crane mounted piling frame and adjust the position and
vertically of the pile with the aid of the surveyor.
Liaise with Consultant or Client representative to conduct
joint inspection.
3) Pile Driving and Pile Jointing
The steel pipe piles will be sand blast to removed dirt &
grease on the pipe then a layer of hot bitumen coating will be
apply on the body of the piles.
Piles shall be driven by using 1.5 tonne drop hammer type by
follow the Calculation of Setting.
Positioning Pile Machine: Piling base machine shall be placed
manoeuvre to align with the piling points.
Placement of the Pile: the initial pile segment is pitched using
a low speed hydraulic winch and then the pile is placed into
the guide or chamber of the piling machine.
Pile is driven into the ground by the drop hammer.
The driven pile should be maintained straight in line at all the
times.
Piles should not deviate more than 75mm from their designed
positions as at the working level of the piling rig.
Extension Pile: When the initial pile segment is driven close to
ground, operator shall stop driving and install the second
piles into the position for jointing.
Pile shall be jointed by using welding the mild steel plate
between piles.
Continue Pile Driving Process until Set.
Pile driving process repeated until the required resistance to
pile penetration is achieved, or the required pre-determined
penetration depth is reached. The setting is achieved when
the set taken for the final 10 blows of the hammer is within
the set as calculated. (Refer calculation attach)
4) Piling Records
All the pile reading shall be recorded in the Pile Record
Form.
All pile records shall be checked correct and signed by
relevant C&S consultant or Client representative.
5) Pile Cutting
Excess piles length shall be cut according to the piling CutOff-Level.
