Method Statement for installation of Micropile
1. Pile lengths of 2.0 or 3.0m (depending on site condition) are driven with a mini-hydraulic
hammer of 1.7, 2.2 or 2.5 ton weight.
2. The first pile section is pitched according to the surveyed peg and driven into the ground,
leaving sufficient length (about 300mm) above ground level for welding of the next section.
3. The next and subsequent sections are joined by all round weld. And 2 minutes cooling time
is observed for every joints before driving continues.
4. The pile is driven to refusal according to the set calculations provided by the specialist
contractor (approved by the consulting Engineer).
5. Upon completion of piling works, the building contractor will excavate and lean concrete to
the pilecap base level and mark out the Cut-Off-Level (COL).
6. The pile head is then cut off at the required COL and C30 concrete is in-filled to the centre-
void. Capping plate welded with one dowel bar underneath is then inserted, anchoring it to
the pile.
Other works/ monitoring
a) After all piles have been installed (before void infill), the consulting Engineer is to choose
one or more piles to be tested by kentledge (static) or Pile Dynamic Analysis (PDA) method
to 2 times safe working load of pile.
b) Vibration monitoring will be conducted during the entire installation of piles, at adjacent
property (or proximity simulating adjacent structure) until the pile is set.

a) Setup for JP3, JP6 to JP12

i) The base of the equipment is mobilized in using lorry cranes. The lorry cranes
range from 25ton to 40ton depending on which mach base. The base is then
set onto 2nos of 6m steel plates.
ii) The 2nd part of machine, i.e. lower body is then stacked onto the base. The 2
parts are connected using 24nos of bolts.
iii) The 3rd part of machine, i.e. main body is stacked onto the 2nd part and
connected using 8 pins.
iv) The mast is fitted next. The connection is done using 6 pins.
v) Counterweight frame is then fitted on the machine, 4 pins are used to connect
the frame to the machine.
vi) The power pac stand is bolted to the machine using 6 bolts and the powerpac is
the put onto the stand and secured firmly using 4 pins.
vii) The counterweights are then stacked neatly on the counterweight frame.
viii) After all counterweights are in place, the standing platform will be erected on
the last counterweights. The platform and all counterweights are secured by
tying a chain around it.
b) Setup for JP4 and 5

i) The main body together with powerpac are mobilized to site using a 12ft
lowbed trailer.
ii) The mast is fitted to either the centre (25ton lorry crane) or side (20ton lorry
crane) of the machine using 6 pins.
iii) The counterweight frame is then fitted using 4 pins.
iv) The counterweights are then stacked neatly on the counterweight frame.
v) After all counterweights are in place, the standing platform will be erected on
the last counterweights. The platform and all counterweights are secured by
tying a chain around it.
5.1.10 Dismantling of Jack-In Pile(JP) equipment
a) Dismantling for JP3, JP6 to JP12
i) The standing platform and counterweights are first unloaded onto the ground.
ii) The power pac is dismantled followed by its frame.
iii) The counterweight frame is then dismantled.
PECK BROTHERS
iv) The mast will then be dismantle using by lorry crane ranging from 10ton to 25ton
depending on the position of the mast,
v) The 3rd part of machine, i.e. main body is disconnected by dismantling the 8
pins.
vi) The 2nd part of machine, i.e. lower body is disconnected from the base by
dismantling 24nos of bolts.
vii) The base of the equipment is mobilized in using lorry cranes. The lorry cranes
range from 25ton to 40ton depending on which mach base. The base is then
set onto 2nos of 6m steel plates.
b) Dismantling for JP4 and 5

i) The platform and all counterweights are first unloaded onto the ground..
