The load of the building is transferred through the pile soil by skin friction between the surface of the pile and
onto the hard strata, and also receive lateral restraint soil, which in effect lowers the bulb of pressure. In other

Process of precast
piles
PROCESS OF PRECAST PILES

Precast construction is considered quick compared to cast in situ

construction as it can be installed immediately and there is no waiting for
it to gain strength.
Driven precast piles are constructed by hammering the pile into the
ground by pile driving plant.
Piles of timber, pre-stressed concrete and steel are also used in this
method.

Positioning of the prefabricated
pile

The pile is driven into the soil
with an impact pile driving
hammer (diesel hammer or
hydraulic drop hammer).
Special timber packing or a
synthetic cushion block lends
adequate protection to the pile
during driving.

With control of driving achieved
by measuring the set, the pile is
driven into the resistive soil
layer to a depth equal to one
time the pile diameter.

Manufacturing process of
reinforced concrete piles
MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF REINFORCED CONCRETE PILES
1. Raw material preparing
- steel bar & wire
2. Steel bar cage making
3. Concrete feeding
- the specially formulated high strength concrete is placed into the bottom half of the mold
4. Case covering & Bolt tightening
- the mold is bolted closed
5. Steel bar tensioning
6. Rotary molding
- level 1-7 for 11 minutes
- the mold is spun at a high rate, the centrifugal force compresses the concrete against the
inner wall of the mold
7. Steam chamber
- curing for 12 hours
8. Demolding case

Precaution measure when
placing concrete through
tremie pipe
PRECAUTIONS WHEN PLACING CONCRETE THROUGH TREMIE PIPE

The pile should be concreted wholly by tremie and the method of

deposition should not be changed part way up the pile
to prevent laitance from being entrapped within the pile

Concrete should be placed in sufficient quantity

to ensure that during withdrawal of the tube, a sufficient head
of concrete is maintained to prevent the in-flow of soil and
water or bentonite slurry.

The top of the concrete in a pile shall be brought above the cut-off level
to allow removal of all laitance and weak concrete before
capping
to ensure good concrete at the cut off level for proper
embedment into the pile cap
PRECAUTIONS WHEN PLACING CONCRETE THROUGH TREMIE PIPE

When concreting is carried out under water, a temporary casing should be

installed to the full depth of the bore hole so that fragments of ground cannot
drop from sides of the hole into concrete as it is placed. When concreting
under bentonite slurry, temporary casing is required only near the top

The tremie pipe and hopper should be a closed system to prevent penetration
of water to prevent laitance

All tremie tubes should be scrupulously cleaned after use

*Definition of laitance: an accumulation of fine particles on the surface of fresh

concrete due to an upward movement of water (as when excessive mixing water is
used)
