    1.0 SCOPE

    The purpose of this procedure is to define the method and responsibilities


    for the installation and performance of Sonic Logging Testing at the bored
    piles.

    This procedure applies to all bored piles that require sonic logging test.

    2.0 MATERIALS

    Not required.

    3.0 EQUIPEMENT & RESOURCES

    i) Sonic pipes

    ii) Sonic Logging test machine

    4.0 METHOD

    4.1 Installation

    4.1.1 The Site Superintendent shall instruct the site personnel


    regarding which piles are to have sonic pipes installed.

    4.1.2 A Site Welder shall prepare four sets of sonic pipes for
    900mm dia. bored pile and six sets for 1500mm dia. bored pile that
    need to be tested. The bore pile depth will determine the length of
    each sonic pipe.

    4.1.3 Sonic pipes shall be assembled using 6m long steel pipes


    with outside diameter of 50mm. Each pipe shall be joined using a
    welded outer sleeve to form 12m sections. The outer sleeve should
    be 100-150mm long.

    4.1.4 The pipes to be installed at the toe of the pile shall have one
    end sealed by welding.

    4.1.5 As the steel cage is being installed to the bore pile, four
    12m sections shall be welded to the cage at the toe.

    4.1.6 As each subsequent cage section is installed, further


    sections of sonic pipe shall be joined together and welded using an
    outer sleeve.

    4.1.7 The top of the final sections of sonic pipe should be 1m


    above the platform level.

    4.1.8 The installed sonic pipes shall be filled with water and then
    sealed by black tape.

    4.2 Preparation For Testing

    4.2.1 The Site Superintendent shall check the condition of the sonic pipes
    to be tested and refer to the Site Manager if any of the closed ends
    have been damaged. If the sonic pipes are undamaged the closed
    ends shall be removed.

    4.2.2 Each sonic pipe shall be checked by lowering a dummy probe into
    the pipes. If any of the pipes are blocked, they shall be flushed with
    running water until all obstructions are removed.

    4.2.3 When cleaning is completed, the test equipment shall be set up as


    per operating instructions and shall be protected from direct
    sunlight.

    4.2.4 The person performing the test shall ensure that all connections are
    okay and that the transmitter and receiver are operating correctly.

    4.2.5 If any of the pipes cannot be cleaned to the toe of the pile, the Site
    Manager shall inform the Client to request a concession or other
    corrective action requirement.

    4.3 Testing

    4.3.1 The sonic pipes shall be marked on a sheet of paper to indicate the
    specified logging profile. The distance between the pipes shall be
    measured and the value input to the test machine.

    4.3.2 The test probes shall be lowered into the sonic pipe in accordance
    to the specified logging profile. Care must be taken to prevent the
    probes from sticking in the pipes.

    4.3.3 When the probes reach the pipe toe, they shall be raised to about
    1m above the pile toe to avoid any end effects at the base of the
    pile.

    4.3.4 The probe levels shall be adjusted until a stable signal is achieved.
    This is when there are minimal changes in intensity and delay.

    4.3.5 When the stable signal is achieved, the probes shall be lowered to
    the toe of the pile and then the cables placed across the meter
    wheel.

    4.3.6 The test machine is then activated to begin logging. The probes
    should be raised at a rate of around 1.0m/sec.

    4.3.7 When the first profile is completed, logging is terminated and the
    data is stored internally on the test machine. The top part of the
    log that records the removal of the probes shall be
    ignores/disposed.

    4.3.8 The operator shall proceed to the second profile by extracting any
    one of the probes and lowering it into an adjacent sonic pipe in
    accordance to the specified logging profiles.

    4.3.9 Steps 4.3.1 to 4.3.8 shall be repeated until all logging profiles are
    completed. After conducting the tests, all tubes shall be filled with
    non-shrink grout of similar strength of pile concrete.

    4.4 Reporting

    4.4.1 All data is initially saved internally on the test machine. When
    necessary, the operator shall ensure that all data is transferred to
    an external computer hard disk.

    4.4.2 The test operator shall print out the results and a qualified engineer
    will determine the integrity of the bore pile. A detailed report shall
    be given to the S.E. upon completion of the test.

    5.0 QUALITY CONTROL PROCEDURE

    Not required.

    6.0 HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT

    Not required.

    7.0 TRACK POSSESION

    Not required.
