RE: piling on a sloping site
Here in the UK, the relevant guidance document is BRE470 - working platforms for tracked plant. This recommends level piling platofrms. Ramps for rig travelling over the plaform should not exceed 1:10.
I've recently looked at a project for a 2km long pipeline with poor ground conditions, where formation of the piling platform is a very large cost, and spoke with a number of rig manufacturers to see what slope a rig could actually operate on.
I was looking at the use of a Soilmec SF50 in CFA mode, and a Juntan PM25 rig in driving mode and both can operate at a slope of up to 3 degrees.
