Re: Auger -Cast Pile Installation for Phillips Residence
Lot 9, Watersong Way, Hutchinson Island, Florida
Project No. 1654-4
Ladies and Gentlemen:
A. M. Engineering and Testing, Inc. is pleased to submit this report of our pile installation
monitoring for the referenced project. A representative of A. M. Engineering was present on site
on November 5 and 6, 2007, to observe the installation of 31 augered cast -in -place piles.
Logs were kept of the pertinent information and are enclosed. The pile identification numbers
noted on the logs correspond to the numbers indicated on the enclosed pile layout plan.
The number of "Required Strokes" was determined by measuring the pump strokes needed to fill
a container of known volume. The pump calibration indicated that 18 pump strokes were needed
to fill 7.35 cubic feet. The strokes necessary to fill the theoretical volume plus 10% were then
calculated to determine the required strokes for the individual piles. The pile lengths noted on
the logs are based on the depths below the existing ground surface at the time that the piles were
installed. The project site was relatively flat and approximately even with the adjacent road. The
working grade was approximately elevation 6 feet NGVD based on survey stakes.
The monitored piles had grout takes at least 10% in excess of their theoretical volume.
Placement of the reinforcing steel for the piles was also monitored. The steel reinforcing was
constructed and placed in substantial compliance with the provided plans. The steel reinforcing
consisted of five 38-foot #6 vertical bars with #3 ties @ 12" on center.
Concrete grout cubes were made for each 50 cubic yards of grout placed. A total of two sets of
cubes were molded. The results will be submitted under separate cover.
