SAFE WORK PROCEDURE AND METHODOLOGY FOR PILING WORK USING THE DIESEL HAMMER

 

SAFE WORK PROCEDURE AND METHODOLOGY FOR PILING WORK USING THE DIESEL HAMMER


1. Introduction

This approach announcement and methodology"Method Statement for Piling Work using the Diesel Hammer" uploaded by HSE Documents outlines the processes and safety precautions for carrying out piling paintings using a diesel hammer. Piling is a critical production procedure that entails driving piles into the floor to offer basis aid for structures. The diesel hammer is a usually used equipment for using piles into the ground through an aggregate of effect and vibration.


2. Scope

This methodology safety document covers the piling work using a diesel hammer, including the following:

2.1. Preparation

2.2. Equipment setup

2.3. Piling operation

2.4. Safety measures

2.5. Quality control


3. Precautions and Safety Measures

3.1. A qualified and experienced piling supervisor will be in charge of overseeing the piling operations.

3.2. All personnel involved in the piling work must wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including hard hats, safety boots, high-visibility vests, and ear protection.

3.3. Barricades and warning signs will be placed around the piling area to prevent unauthorized access.

3.4. Adequate fire extinguishers will be positioned near the piling operation area.

3.5. Adequate lighting will be provided for nighttime operations.

3.6. All personnel will be trained in emergency procedures and evacuation routes.


4. Equipment and Materials

4.1. Diesel hammer and associated components.

4.2. Pile sections.

4.3. Crane or other lifting equipment for handling piles.

4.4. Diesel fuel and lubricants.

4.5. Tools and equipment for maintenance.


5. Procedure

5.1. Site Preparation:

5.1.1. The piling area will be marked and cleared of any debris, obstacles, or vegetation.

5.1.2. The ground will be leveled and compacted to provide a stable working platform for the diesel hammer.

5.2. Equipment Setup:

5.2.1. The diesel hammer will be positioned over the designated pile location using a crane or other lifting equipment.

5.2.2. The pile sections will be lifted and aligned with the hammer's drop assembly.

5.3. Piling Operation:

5.3.1. The diesel hammer will be started and warmed up according to the manufacturer's guidelines.

5.3.2. The pile section will be lifted and carefully placed into the hammer's drop assembly.

5.3.3. The hammer will be guided onto the pile section, and the impact block will be raised to a suitable height.

5.3.4. The impact block will be released, allowing it to fall and drive the pile into the ground.

5.3.5. The process will be repeated until the desired pile depth is achieved, taking into consideration any design specifications.

5.4. Quality Control:

5.4.1. Pile driving records will be maintained, documenting the number of blows required to achieve a specific depth.

5.4.2. Periodic checks will be conducted to ensure the vertical alignment of the piles.

5.5. Post-Piling Activities

5.5.1. Excess soil around the pile head will be removed to facilitate pile cap installation.

5.5.2. Pile heads will be cleaned and leveled to ensure proper load transfer to the pile cap.


6. Waste Management

Waste materials, together with packaging and debris, can be gathered and disposed of by environmental rules.
