Hi Everyone,
I have a question related to the measurement method in my project as follows:
In our preamble of the Bill of Quantities statement measurement method for piling work as:
“Measurement of piling shall be by the length of piles installed from the underside of the structure reinforced concrete base to the level of pile toes shown on the Drawings or required by the Specification.”
In the design drawings shown toe’s level and estimated pile penetration length from cut-off level to pile toe; After driving the test piles and static load test, the pile toe’s level and pile penetration length are revised (shorten); But in the mass piles pressing, the actual pile toe level was shallower, pile penetration length is shortened again, and the length of piles to be cut off was more.
The question is, in this case, the length of piles to be measured for payment is: option 1. up to the revised pile’s toe level after pile testing or option 2. the actual recorded during mass pile pressing. As my understanding option 1 will be applied, but the project engineer measured it as option 2.
Please kindly support me with your opinions
Thank you so much!
