METHOD STATEMENT FOR
HARD GROUND SHEET PILES INSTALLATION
BY CRUSHER PILER MACHINE
The scope of works is mainly installation of sheet piles into the hard ground in which the Standard
Penetration Test N- values more than 30 by boring method thru Giken- Super Crush Piler.
1. Construction Machinery/ Equipment Used
Equipment and working tools required for the execution of works are as follows:
Sno: Description Qty
1 80 Ton Crawler Crane 1
2 Super Crush Piler 1
3 Power pack 1
4 Air Compressor 1
5 Welding Machine 1
6 Torch Cutter 1
7 And Miscellaneous Hand Tools
# The actual types and quantity of the machinery used may vary pending work schedules.
2. Materials
Use of FSV IV sheet pile (76.1kg/m)
Use of FSV IIIA sheet pile (58.4kg/m)
3. Setting out & working platform
The licensed surveyor (by others) will be engaged to set out the center line of the sheet piles and
the position of each pile and to establish TBMs on site for determining the cut-off levels of piles.
A reasonable firm and level working platform shall be prepared prior to the installation of sheet piling
works

5. Hard Ground Press-in Method
To solve the hard ground condition (e.g.: - cobbles and stones) an integral auger is utilized to
enable the Press-in Method to be used in hard ground where water jetting would not be effective.
The press-in procedure with simultaneous with augering can be demonstrate as follow:
Loosen hard soil by augering down to a depth of 50cm below the current pile toe location.
Simultaneous extraction of the auger casing while pressing-in the pile by a stroke. After installing
the pile to the specified depth, the auger with auger casing is fully extracted from the ground.

9. Installation of sheet pile at cofferdam
i) Drive the sheet pile both side of cofferdam (when working at cofferdam to be install piler
stage with silent piler).
ii) Mark out level and alignment of tie-rod.
iii) To cut holes of sheet pile for tie rod to inserting using oxy gas.
iv) To use hanging platform attached to sheet pile or a floater to install and secure outer
sheet pile at water area.
v) After tie back the sheet pile back filling the sand between the sheet piles to move the
crane forward.
vi) Repeat Step i) ~ vi).to continue drive the sheet pile
