RE: Pile Inspection and Log for: 372 Nettles Blvd Jensen Beach Fl
Install date: August 25, 2021
For your information, during the pile installation at the above referenced property, each pile was documented
for proper type and size of steel placement, correct grout mix, the number of strokes indicating volume and any
abnormalities that may have occurred during installation. Each pile was checked by “counting the strokes
method” as documented in several literature including “Inspector Guide to the Auger Cast-in -Place Piles”
published by the Auger Cast-In-Place Pile Committee of the” The Deep Pile Institute”.
The approved drawings specified a 14” diameter auger cast pile drilled 30’ in length. The site was as it was
during the soil investigation. Each pile was reinforced with the specified steel cage and /or #7 center bar with
25’ of embedment.
The concrete pump used, a Transcrete BV75 was calibrated on site and determined to produce .65 cuft /
stroke. A digital stroke counter was provided on the pump.
The drilling equipment was fitted with gauges that were used to monitor and record the installation procedure.
These were monitored and/or reviewed to insure a positive head and adequate volume was maintained
throughout the grouting of each pile.
Attached is a detailed record of the pile volumes pumped into each pile. The lowest yield for any pile was
120% which is consistent with the recommendations and meets the job requirements as set forth in the
structural drawings.
Based on this information, it is my professional opinion, the piles constructed for the referenced project were
installed in accordance with industry standards and as specified according to the construction drawings to the
best of my knowledge. The pile documentation and location plan are attached.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Thank you,
