Figure 6.6 Welding machine

Welding process:
- The pile head should be cleaned by grinder first before moving to the welding position.
- Check the welding equipment: working condition: currency, machines, welding equipment:
electricity cables, welding cables, joints….
- Check the currency: during the welding process, the currency should be in range of 110-300 A
(Current) and 20-26V (Voltage).
- Check CO2 flow meter: the shield gas for using in MAG welding is CO2, the specifications of
CO2 are: percent composition: 99.8%, the out flow: 18-25l/min. The gas meter should be
checked in order to ensure that it is in normal working condition.

- Adjust the shield gas to the requirement.

- Turn on the power.
- Choose the welding mode.

- Testing the welding machines: adjust the currency and gas flow to the above requirement.

Figure 6.7 Cleaning the pile head

- The axis of second pile segment coincides with the axis of first pile segment.
- Surfaces of two pile head tightly contact together.

The welding joint shall be filling-up all around the gap between the two piles- end flanges
by at least 2 layers welding.

Figure 6.8 Welding by welder

Start welding: The pile diameter is divided into two part, each welder is in charge of
welding part. In order to ensure that the temperature shall not increase suddenly, the two
welder shall start welding in opposite position rather than in the same position, they also
need to follow the same direction during welding. Moreover, during the welding process,
the speed of welding gun movement should not exceed 240mm/min, the welder should
also weld the pile connection in at least 2 layers so that the welding height can meet the
specifications.

Keeping 10 – 15% design load during welding period for pressed pile for surface of two
piles head tightly contact.

Work Item : Testing Piling Works Page 16
 [Housing Complex] Method Statement for Test Piling Works
NS2-DD09-P0UYK-770001

following:
- Pre-cleaning: The test surface is cleaned to remove any dirt, paint, oil, grease or any loose
scale that could either keep penetrant out of a defect, or cause irrelevant or false indications.
- Application of Penetrant: The penetrant is then applied to the surface of the item being tested.
Wait for at least 5 minutes for penetration.

- Excess Penetrant Removal: The excess penetrant is then removed from the surface towards
one direction either vertically or horizontally as the case may be. The removal method is
controlled by the type of penetrant used.
- Application of Developer: After excess penetrant has been removed, a white developer is
applied to the sample. Choice of developer is governed by penetrant compatibility and by
inspection conditions. The developer draws penetrant from defects out onto the surface to form
a visible indication, commonly known as bleed-out. Any areas that bleed out can indicate the
location, orientation and possible types of defects on the surface. Interpreting the results and
characterizing defects from the indications found may require some training and/or experience
[the indication size is not the actual size of the defect].
- Inspection: The inspector will use visible light with adequate intensity for visible dye penetrant.
Ultraviolet (UV-A) radiation of adequate intensity along with low ambient light levels for
penetrant examinations.
- Post Cleaning: The test surface is often cleaned after inspection and recording of defects.

6.2.3 Pile head temporary cutting and protection

After finishing each pile pressing, if the top of pile is higher than working ground level, the
Subcontractor will temporary cut piles head at about 20-30cm higher than working level
by manpower and portable cutting machine.

This temporary cutting level is only for movement of the pile pressing machine, and this
temporary cutting level must be always higher than designed pile cut-off level.

After temporary pile head cutting, covering the top of pile by wooden plate and sand bag
for protection of pile head during moving the pile pressing machine.

6.2.4 Piling records

Record the initial pressure: Note down the initial pressure then keep record at each 1m
or 2m interval length until the pile penetrates to the finishing depth. If the hand of the
gauge moves abnormally then record the depth and pressure on the installation record or
construction journal. Pile installation record shall be kept until the designed length is
obtained. When the pressure reaches Pmin, keep record at each 20cm and continue until
finishing for pile pressing.

The records of piling works shall contain the following:

- Number and size of pile;
- Full detail of driving and handling equipment;

- Date of production;

12.3.2 Risk management

BMT established our own risk management for ensuring project schedule within planned
budget and meeting project specification. In theory, risk is defined as a positive or negative
deviation of a variable from its expected value. In fact, risk is understood only as a loss.
The aim of risk management is to response and control loss. The risk management
process comprises several steps as below:
- Risk identification;
- Risk assessment;
- Risk response;
- Risk monitoring and control.

Risk identification is the first and perhaps the most important step in the risk management
process, as it attempts to identify the source and type of risks. It includes the recognition
of potential risk event conditions in the construction.

The risk assessment comprises the qualitative assessment and quantitative

measurement of individual risks including the interrelationship of their effects. Qualitative
risk analysis assesses the impact and likelihood of the identified risk and develops
prioritize list of the risks for further analysis or direct mitigation. Quantitative risk analysis
attempts to estimate the frequency of risk and the magnitude of their consequences.

There are four strategies for risk response are risk avoidance, risk transfer, risk mitigation
and risk acceptance.

The goal of risk controlling is not to eliminate risks completely from the project. The
monitoring of the risk helps guarantee that the risk position of the project corresponds to
the risk situation strived for.
