Time between excavating and concreting a bored pile
Time between excavating and concreting a bored pile
(OP)
Good day,
2 questions please :
what is the maximum time allowed between excavating and concreting a bored pile without affecting pile integrity ?Is 24 hours ok ? I couldnt find anything in the specs.
2- if a bored pile is concreted, can we begin directly excavating the adjacent pile which is 3x diameter far ?
Thank yiu

But that's just our office notes (and come to think of it, my previous office as well). I do not know where these rules came from.

A working pile load test is required for a pile under the abutment. 2 piles are casted and one of these piles will be subject to the test.
4 anchor piles will be drilled, one of these piles will be really close to the second pile which will not be subject to the test. The second pile has been casted today and the contractor is asking if he cam drill tomorrow the anchor pile (which will be very near). Is this ok ? I dont have the minimum diatance of 3 diametera since the anchor pile wont be used in the working conditions of the bridge and i dont know if drilling after 24 hours may affect the concrete section of the pile poured one day ago.
thanks a lot
