BORED PILING WORK SEQUENCES

This video visually explains the sequences of the Bored Piling works.
Bored piles, also known as replacement piles, are a commonly-used form of building the foundation that provides support for structures, transferring their load to layers of soil or rock that have sufficient bearing capacity and suitable settlement characteristics.
Bored piles are piles where the removal of soil forms a hole for a reinforced concrete pile which is poured in situ. The soil is replaced by the pile, hence 'replacement' piles as opposed to displacement piles where the soil is forced away by driving or screwing the pile.
Bored piles are used primarily in cohesive subsoils for the formation of friction piles and when forming pile foundations close to existing buildings. They are popular in urban areas as there is minimal vibration, where headroom is limited, where there is no risk of heave, and if there is a need to vary the length of the piles.
Installation
Bored piles are drilled using buckets and/or augers driven by percussion boring (vibratory hammers) or through the rotary boring (twisting in place).
In unstable soil strata, the use of bentonite fluid assists in stabilizing the bore especially in large diameter deeper piles and allows the insertion of heavily reinforcing steel cages. This is known as flush boring (see more below).
If the boring and pouring take place simultaneously, piles are known as continuous flight auger (CFA) piles.
Piles are known as large diameter piles if they are 600 mm or more in diameter. Small diameter piles of less than 600 mm are sometimes placed in groups under a common pile cap to receive heavy loads.
Large diameter piles can have their bearing capacity increased by under-reaming the shaft at the base. This is achieved by an expanding cutting tool that cuts a conical-shaped base up to three times the diameter of the main shaft.
The form of support to the pile or borehole affects the pile formation. Bored piles can be either supported or unsupported.
Unsupported piles
Where piling is undertaken in stable soils it may be possible to bore and place the concrete without first lining the hole. However, precautions need to be taken by lining the first meter of the hole to prevent surface soil from falling into the hole.
Supported piles
There are two categories of supported pile depending on the casing or lining that is used.
Permanent casing
The borehole can be formed by the percussion method which involves a heavy cutting tool on a small tripod that is dropped from its raised position using a winch to cut out a cylinder of earth. The operation is repeated until the hole has been sunk to the required depth. As the cutting proceeds, a thin sectional lining is inserted into the hole to prevent its collapse. Alternatively, the borehole can be formed by the rotary method in which the rotary drill operates within the casing or lining.
Temporary casing
It is common for the borehole to be supported by a screw-jointed steel lining which is removed either during or after the concrete has been placed. The tube can be winched or jacked out of the ground.
Flush boring uses a fluid such as a bentonite to flush material from the hole, which has been loosened by drilling. The fluid can be poured from above (reverse flushing) or pumped through the drilling rod (direct flushing). The bored hole is lined with a temporary steel casing to prevent the collapse of loose surface soil. As the boring proceeds, bentonite is continuously fed into the hole.
At the required depth, reinforcement is lowered through the bentonite and concrete poured. The bentonite is displaced by the concrete and pumped back up out of the hole. As the concrete reaches the hole’s upper level, the temporary casing is withdrawn.

Glad it was helpful! We will try to add voice explanation in our future videos.

[@ProudtobeaCivilEngineer]

The productivity of the piling works for the above site is 1.5, means we can do 3 piles per 2 days time. (working hours 08:30 to 18:00) Rock coring will kill the time, it takes around 2 for 1m rock coring.

Hi Thanks very much for the video. May i know what the polymer is for ? Thanks

[@ProudtobeaCivilEngineer]

@zklfs94 The polymer is used as the stabilizing liquid for the bored pile. The same purpose as Bentonite.

[@chinngan88]

Thanks for the full video. Really hard to find this kind of video on youtube. I have a question. I saw they welded the Rebar cage to the steel casing, what happen when they extract out the steel casing? I often found out on site the rebar cage fall to the bottom of the piles. What might go wrong that caused this from happening?

[@ProudtobeaCivilEngineer]

During the extraction of the steel casing, we cut the welded rebars. So that the casing and the rebar cage will be separated and the casing could be extracted. If the poured concrete is still too wet, there may be a chance that the rebar cage can fall down to the bottom. Additional reinforcement length is usually considered above the cut-off level to avoid these issues. Even if the rebar cage goes down, it won’t affect the lapping length of the reinforcement. For tension piles, the rebar will be provided throughout the length of the pile. In this case, if the rebar cage is not welded to the casing, it may have a chance to move upwards due to the dynamic pressure in the confined environment.

That is a descriptive video of making bored pile....Thanks for sharing but I got a question. Those polymer liquid is added in the hole and it will be pushed out to surface by the concrete during the process of concrete casting, won't it?. Then, what does those polymer liquid do?

[@ProudtobeaCivilEngineer]

Yes the polymer liquid will be pushed out to surface during the process of concrete casting. The polymer will act as a resistance shield for the soil around the bored hole. The purpose is to withstand the soft soils in the bored hole without collapsing.

[@rajasekarandhanapal7040]

Hi dear This is nice video good, two queries I have 1. If the pile lenght is 15meter, what will be the casing pipe lenght and whether the casing pipe will be inserted prior to drilling the boring 2. When the casing pipe will be removed, that is immediately after casting right ...

[@ProudtobeaCivilEngineer]

Thank you. 1) The casing length depends on the soil conditions. Normally it will be provided until the hard soil layer, so that the soft soil will be resisted by casing. The pre-boring process will be done first roughly around 4m to 6m. After that the casing will be installed. Then the boring will be continued until the required design depth. 2) Once the casting of pile completed, the casing will be removed prior to the final setting of concrete.

[@stevetan9142]

This work sequence is right. However, there are many serious safety laspes. I hope such work site will have a swo by mom.

All the job sequences are to be carried out or executed in accordance to quality and safety requirement for the project specific .

[@alamloka2626]

How long is the steel case used in this video?

[@ProudtobeaCivilEngineer]

The length of the used steel casing is 12m. This is mainly because of the soft nature of the geotechnical profile. The longer casing used to eliminate the collapse of the soils during boring.

[@robertomaputi]

[@nursyafiqahshazira9386]

can we do bored piles diameter 450mm without temporary casing? and how to determine whether need to use temporary/permanent casing or not.

[@ProudtobeaCivilEngineer]

Basic reason of providing the casing is to prevent the soft soil from falling into the pile bore. If the casing pipe is not provided , the clay or the soft soil shall keep on falling in the excavated bore of the pile and while casting the concrete, this shall get inadvertently mixed in the cement concrete.

[@ProudtobeaCivilEngineer]

There are temporary casings and permanent casings. The temporary casing is a type of casing that is removed after the casting of concrete is complete, typically before the start of the final setting. As you must be well aware, the loose soil is generally found in the Initial layers of the Bore. So, in the case of a temporary casing, the casing is not much deep. If we have a deep temporary casing, it is very difficult to remove after the completion of casting. Permanent Casing is a type of casing that is concreted with the concrete and remains there for Life of the Pile. The general practice is placing the casing before pouring the concrete so that no soil gets accidentally mixed with the concrete. These kinds of casings are seen where the soil is very loose/fine & the chances of caving of the pile are more.

Actually it is not the water. It is stabilizing liquid (Bentonite or Polymer). Soft soils has a tendency to collapse during pile boring. To overcome this issue, the stabilizing liquids were pumped into.
