Why it matters
When the dispute arrives, the question is always: what did you have in place and when? This document is the answer.
What it's for
Once a pile is in the ground, the record is the only evidence of what was built. The client’s engineer will want to see that each pile reached its specified toe level, received the right concrete volume and cage, and passed its integrity test. Gaps in the records can mean extra testing, or even replacement piles.
When you need it
For every pile, filled in as it is installed, with the integrity test result added when the report is received.
Who signs it
The piling supervisor and the site engineer.
What's inside
- Pile details: reference, location, type, diameter, and specified toe, cut-off and platform levels
- Installation: dates and times, rig, operator card, actual levels, strata and obstructions, and the CFA rig output reference
- Concrete: mix, tickets, pour times, slump or flow, temperature, theoretical and actual volumes, overbreak and cube samples
- Reinforcement cage: reference, bars, links, cover, length and top level
- Integrity test: method, date, result and report reference
- Sign-off
FAQ
- What if a CFA pile is underpoured?
- The record includes a note that a significant underpour or loss of concrete pressure must be reported to the piling engineer before the next pile is installed.
- Which integrity tests does it cover?
- Low-strain testing, cross-hole sonic logging and coring, with a result and report reference for each pile.
- Do I need one sheet per pile?
- Yes. Each pile should have its own record so it can be traced individually.
- Can the CFA rig output replace the record?
- No. Attach the rig output, and record its reference on the sheet. The record brings together the installation, concrete, cage and test information that the rig output does not show.
- What is [TO CONFIRM]?
- Details only you know, such as references, names and locations. We never guess these. They appear as highlighted [TO CONFIRM] placeholders, and the inspection record opens with a list of every one. Results, readings, dates and signatures are left blank for completion at the time.
- Can I edit the document?
- Yes. Both options are Word documents you can edit freely.
- Do I still need to review it?
- Yes. A competent person must check every document against the actual site and works before it is used. ClarusDocs gives you a complete first draft, not a substitute for that check.
