Method Statement for Installation of Hydraulic Injection Pile

Machine Hydraulic Jacking Piling Machine YZY-240

Counterweights Steel / Concrete Counterweights – 40 ton

Machine Weight 140 ton

Total weight 140 + 40 = 180 ton

Machine Crew Foreman - 1 pax

Operator - 1 pax
Rig Assistant / Welder - 1 -2 pax
Crane Operator - 1 pax
______________________________________________________________________________

Method Statement of Installation

1. All movement of the rig to be only under the exclusive direction of the Rig foreman.
2. The foreman will move the rig over the survey point for the pile to be jack in.
3. The crane crew will sling and pitch the pile into to the machine, lowering into the grips.
4. The machine will grip the pile and lower the pile to ground level.
5. The machine operator will plumb the pile.
6. The foreman will ensure the rig is moved and adjusted over the survey point.
7. The pile is jacked an initial 2m.
8. The pile is checked for plumb with a 1m spirit level.
9. The pile is jacked to the required pressure as per the setting pressure conversion table for
the desired jacking force.

Pile setting criteria

 The set pressure is held for 30seconds and the settlement after holding period shall not
exceeding 5mm in 2 consecutive cycles (1st & 2nd cycle).
 The difference in settlement between 1st & 2nd cycle shall be less than 3mm.
 The measurement of settlement will be manually recorded using graph paper and pencil
with a support (as shown in the following example).

Pile Cut Off

If pile still exists above ground level, cut the pile off with air compressor breaker.
10. If jacking force is not achieved then a splice is required. Another pile segment is lowered
into the machine.
11. The pile is jack into until the splice is approximately 0.5m above ground level. The
alignment of the splice plate is checked.
12. The pile jacking sequence is stopped.
13. The splice is welded to be coated with anti-corrosion paints. (red oxide paints)
14. The pile jacking sequence is restarted, go to 8
15. The site clerk is to complete the Piling Record Sheet progressively from step 1.
