PRECAST CONCRETE PILES

Driven precast reinforced concrete piles The following unit costs cover the installation of driven precast concrete piles by using a hammer acting on a shoe fitted onto or cast into the pile unit. The costs are based installing 100 piles of nominal sizes stated, and a concrete strength of 50N/mm² suitably reinforced for a working load not exceeding 600kN, with piles average 15m long, on a clear site with reasonable access. Single pile lengths are normally a maximum of 13m long, at which point, a mechanical interlocking joint is required to extend the pile. These joints are most economically and practically formed at works. Lengths, sizes of sections, reinforcement details and concrete mixes vary for differing contractors, whose specialist advice should be sought for specific designs.

CAST IN PLACE PILES

Bored in-situ reinforced concrete piling (tripod rig) The following unit costs cover the construction of small diameter bored piling using light and compact tripod rigs requiring no expensive site levelling or access ways. Piling can be constructed in very restricted headroom or on confined and difficult sites. Standard diameters are between 400 and 600mm with a normal maximum depth of 30m. The costs are based on installing 100 piles of 500mm nominal diameter, a concrete strength of 20N/mm² with nominal reinforcement, on a clear site with reasonable access. Disposal of excavated material is included separately.

Bored in-situ reinforced concrete piling (mobile rig) The following unit costs cover the construction of small diameter bored piles using lorry or crawler mounted rotary boring rigs. This type of plant is more mobile and faster in operation than the tripod rigs and is ideal for large contracts in cohesive ground. Construction of piles under bentonite suspension can be carried out to obviate the use of liners. Standard diameters of 450 to 900mm diameter can be constructed to depths of 30m. The costs are based on installing 100 piles of 500mm nominal diameter, a concrete strength of 20N/mm² with nominal reinforcement, on a clear site with reasonable access. Disposal of excavated material is included separately.

Concrete injected piles (continuous flight augered) The following unit costs cover the construction of piles by screwing a continuous flight auger into the ground to a design depth (Determined prior to commencement of piling operations and upon which the rates are based and subsequently varied to actual depths). Concrete is then pumped through the hollow stem of the auger to the bottom and the pile formed as the auger is withdrawn. Spoil is removed by the auger as it is withdrawn. This is a fast method of construction without causing disturbance or vibration to adjacent ground. No casing is required even in unsuitable soils. Reinforcement can be placed after grouting is complete. The costs are based on installing 100 piles on a clear site with reasonable access. Disposal of excavated material is included separately.

DRIVEN CAST-IN-PLACE PILES

Driven cast-in-place piles; segmental casing method The following unit costs cover the construction of piles by driving into hard material using a serrated thick wall tube. It is oscillated and pressed into the hard material using a hydraulic attachment to the piling rig. The hard material is broken up using chiselling methods and is then removed by mechanical grab.

Driven in-situ reinforced concrete piling The following unit costs cover the construction of piles by driving a tube into the ground either by using an internal hammer acting on a gravel or concrete plug or, as is more usual, by using an external hammer on a driving helmet at the top of the tube. After driving to the required depth an enlarged base is formed by hammering out sucessive charges of concrete down the tube. The tube is then filled with concrete which is compacted as the tube is vibrated and withdrawn. Piles of 350 to 500mm diameter can be constructed with rakes up to 1 in 4 to carry working loads up to 120t per pile. The costs are based on installing 100 piles of 430mm nominal diameter, a concrete strength of 20N/mm² suitably reinforced for a working load not exceeding 750kN, on a clear site with reasonable access.
