1.0 SCOPE

The purpose of this procedure is to define the method and responsibilities

for the installation and performance of Sonic Logging Testing at the bored
piles.

This procedure applies to all bored piles that require sonic logging test.

2.0 MATERIALS

Not required.

3.0 EQUIPEMENT & RESOURCES

i) Sonic pipes

ii) Sonic Logging test machine

4.0 METHOD

4.1 Installation

4.1.1 The Site Superintendent shall instruct the site personnel

regarding which piles are to have sonic pipes installed.

4.1.2 A Site Welder shall prepare four sets of sonic pipes for
900mm dia. bored pile and six sets for 1500mm dia. bored pile that
need to be tested. The bore pile depth will determine the length of
each sonic pipe.

4.1.3 Sonic pipes shall be assembled using 6m long steel pipes

with outside diameter of 50mm. Each pipe shall be joined using a
welded outer sleeve to form 12m sections. The outer sleeve should
be 100-150mm long.

4.1.4 The pipes to be installed at the toe of the pile shall have one
end sealed by welding.

4.1.5 As the steel cage is being installed to the bore pile, four
12m sections shall be welded to the cage at the toe.

4.1.6 As each subsequent cage section is installed, further

sections of sonic pipe shall be joined together and welded using an
outer sleeve.

4.1.7 The top of the final sections of sonic pipe should be 1m

above the platform level.

4.1.8 The installed sonic pipes shall be filled with water and then
sealed by black tape.

4.2 Preparation For Testing

4.2.1 The Site Superintendent shall check the condition of the sonic pipes
to be tested and refer to the Site Manager if any of the closed ends
have been damaged. If the sonic pipes are undamaged the closed
ends shall be removed.

4.2.2 Each sonic pipe shall be checked by lowering a dummy probe into
the pipes. If any of the pipes are blocked, they shall be flushed with
running water until all obstructions are removed.

4.2.3 When cleaning is completed, the test equipment shall be set up as

per operating instructions and shall be protected from direct
sunlight.

4.2.4 The person performing the test shall ensure that all connections are
okay and that the transmitter and receiver are operating correctly.

4.2.5 If any of the pipes cannot be cleaned to the toe of the pile, the Site
Manager shall inform the Client to request a concession or other
corrective action requirement.

4.3 Testing

4.3.1 The sonic pipes shall be marked on a sheet of paper to indicate the
specified logging profile. The distance between the pipes shall be
measured and the value input to the test machine.

4.3.2 The test probes shall be lowered into the sonic pipe in accordance
to the specified logging profile. Care must be taken to prevent the
probes from sticking in the pipes.

4.3.3 When the probes reach the pipe toe, they shall be raised to about
1m above the pile toe to avoid any end effects at the base of the
pile.

4.3.4 The probe levels shall be adjusted until a stable signal is achieved.
This is when there are minimal changes in intensity and delay.

4.3.5 When the stable signal is achieved, the probes shall be lowered to
the toe of the pile and then the cables placed across the meter
wheel.

4.3.6 The test machine is then activated to begin logging. The probes
should be raised at a rate of around 1.0m/sec.

4.3.7 When the first profile is completed, logging is terminated and the
data is stored internally on the test machine. The top part of the
log that records the removal of the probes shall be
ignores/disposed.

4.3.8 The operator shall proceed to the second profile by extracting any
one of the probes and lowering it into an adjacent sonic pipe in
accordance to the specified logging profiles.

4.3.9 Steps 4.3.1 to 4.3.8 shall be repeated until all logging profiles are
completed. After conducting the tests, all tubes shall be filled with
non-shrink grout of similar strength of pile concrete.

4.4 Reporting

4.4.1 All data is initially saved internally on the test machine. When
necessary, the operator shall ensure that all data is transferred to
an external computer hard disk.

4.4.2 The test operator shall print out the results and a qualified engineer
will determine the integrity of the bore pile. A detailed report shall
be given to the S.E. upon completion of the test.

5.0 QUALITY CONTROL PROCEDURE

Not required.

6.0 HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT

Not required.

7.0 TRACK POSSESION

Not required.
