• Checking of setting out pin prior to commencement of piling on pile location

• Checking positional tolerance of auger (+/-75mm max.*) at commencement of drilling by shooting the laser at the stem of the auger itself

• Spot checking of PPL’s across site at commencement of piling works to each area, and as requested as works proceed

• Checking and recording TOS levels of pile cages

• Checking and recording as-builts of pile positions

• Assisting Franki/Martello site foreman with checking of pile schedule for foam levels, PPL’s and PCOL’s where requested

• Provision of as-built’s in excel format the following day (as-built to capture TOS level, pin as-built, pile as-built and any deviations from design) notifying us of any instances where tolerances are exceeded.

• Where guidewalls are used on site, checking of level of guidewall and production of as- built survey of guidewall (as this would be required to check whether positional tolerance of piles can be met for wall piles)

• Where plunge columns are required, checking and understanding of project specific tolerances, setting out of guide frame (where applicable) ensuring correct column

• orientation and recording as-built of column position (location and angle or orientation), verticality, level and level check the following day where possible. Data to be related to engineers offices for inclusion in to as-built drawing model if requested by Franki.

*Although 75mm is the usual allowable tolerance, +/-60mm should be a reasonable target to work within and would target for good practice. The As-built records sent through on a daily basis (the following day) will still highlight where 75mm has been exceeded between design and as-built of pile.
