: The method offers superior verticality and eliminates the risks associated with workers operating at height. 3. Critical Site Considerations
| Stage | Action | Acceptance Criteria | |-------|--------|----------------------| | | Survey and set out pile positions | Within ±25 mm of design coordinates | | 2 | Pre-boring (if required in OA or hard clay) | Diameter ≤ 0.7 × pile diameter; depth to clear stiff layer | | 3 | Position jacking frame | Verticality check with dual-axis inclinometer | | 4 | Commence jacking at ≤ 5 mm/s | Jacking force vs. depth plot recorded continuously | | 5 | Monitor heave of adjacent ground | Maximum heave ≤ 15 mm at 1 m from pile | | 6 | Terminate jacking | Either: (a) design toe level reached, OR (b) refusal at 1.5 × design load for 3 consecutive 100 mm strokes | | 7 | Hold for 2 minutes, then release | No significant force loss (>5%) indicates good set-up | : The method offers superior verticality and eliminates
