Pile Driving Refusal

penetration (250 blows per 25 cm), with the hammer working at or above design
operating efficiency.
b. The point at which the combined stresses in the pile due to driving and the weight
of the hammer reach the maximum allowable stress based on pile monitoring
instrumentation (strain gauges mounted on the pile near the top of the add-on
section being driven) or drivability analysis performed for the pile-hammer-soil
conditions.

3. If the delay in pile driving operations is one hour or longer, the refusal criteria stated
above do not apply until the pile has been advanced at least one foot following the

count exceeds 400 blows for one foot or less of penetration (330 blows per 25 cm).
4. If pile driving refusal occurs using a diesel or steam hammer and the pile driving is not
being monitored, Purchaser may request that Supplier replace the hammer with one of
equal or higher energy to evaluate whether the refusal is due to hammer inefficiency.
5.5.7
Supplemental Pile Installation Procedures for Pile Driving Refusal

being driven to design penetration, and that pile plug removal is required as a
supplemental aid to driving, then Supplier shall do the following:
a. Develop contingency plans and supplemental pile installation procedures
compatible with pile penetrations where soil plug removal is expected based on

beyond the pile tip and through the rock layer may be advantageous, depending on the
hardness and thickness of the rock.
a. Supplier shall receive Purchaser acceptance to drill or jet through the rock layer in
advance of the pile tip.
b. Drilling or jetting shall be conducted in a controllable manner without adversely
affecting the capacity of the pile being remedied or any other foundation or well
element of the facility.
