1. Introduction
1. Location
In the construction of the Ultra Rapid Coagulation area, Receiving Well and Filters , there are several soil
investigations around it. In planning, drilling test result data (BH-03) and Cone Penetration Test S.9 is used.
detailed site plan soil investigation point is used shown in Figure 1.1
Here are the Site Plan figure, the location of the soil investigation point and soil stratification:
Figure 1. 1: Site Plan planning plan and location of soil investigation point
1) Determine the soil coating of the design based on the results of soil investigations in the Ultra Rapid
Coagulation area;
2) Interpretation of soil investigation results in the form of determining design parameters for each soil
layering based on soil investigation data;
3) Conducting single pole analysis using several analysis methods, namely FHWA Method, USACE,
Revised Lambda and API method.
2 Soil Investigation
The soil investigation work in the URC (Ultra Rapid Coagulation) and Filters area used in the design was
BH-03 and the Receiving Well S.9, where the drill was closest to the review site. The results of the BH-03
drilling test can be seen in Figure 2.1 and for the S.9 can be seen in Figure 2.2.
3.1 Reference
a) The deep foundation system must be able to carry all the loads that work on it and be able to transfer
those loads to the subsoil below without any failures.
b) The pile foundation system used should also be planned to bear negative skin friction (if any) that may
occur as a result of a larger base subsidence of the mast.
c) The safety factor used for the axial bearing capacity of service conditions is SF = 2.5 for end bearing
and skin friction.
d) Lateral deformation is based on concrete spun pile class and moment crack of spun class.
e) The axial bearing capacity on the pile foundation must be verified by conducting pile testing in
accordance with SNI 8460:2017.
Soil correlation is carried out to obtain design parameters based on the results of field tests. The following
are the soil correlations used in this report.

the setting out. He shall employ a licensed surveyot approved by the engineer to do the work.
3.4.4 Tolerance
The maximum permissible deviation of the centre of each finished pile from the correct centre point as
approved by the engineer is 75 mm in any direction. Allowable deviation of the centre of pile for any single
pile group or single line of piles carrying structural load shall not be more than 25 mm laterally from its correct
position
The verticality of each pile shall not deviate at any position the contractor shall bear the cost of any additional
work which in the opinion of engineer, is necessary due to any pile being installed I aposition not within this
tolerance
Piles shall be driven in such a mannel as to ensure that no damage and minimum disturbance is caused to
previously driven pieles in adjacent positions.
Upon completion pf piling, the contractor shall strip off the piles to the required cut off level as shown in the
drawing provide. The piling contractor should allow for the above work in the contract price. From cut of
levels, pile starter bars should be constructed to not less than 40 times the bar diameer as per drawings, for
an adequate embedment into the pile cap.
Stripping should be done carefully by the contractor to avoid shattering and damage to the pile. Any cracked
or defective concrete should be cut away and made good with new concrete properly bonded to the old one.
The edges should be cut square unless the pile head is to be encassed in a cap. The contractor shall follow
up directly by checking the levels and giving accurate details of the pile positions as compared with the
positions as indicated on the pile layout drawings.
After stripping of pile to cut of level by the contractor, the pile shall be inspected by the engineer. If in the
engineer’s opinion, the pile is defective, the contractor shall be responsible to carry off necessary remedial
work as required by the engineer. Also, the eccentricity of all piles shall be checked by a licensed surveyor,
eployed by the contractor, at cut of level. If the eccentricity exceeds the allowable limit, all expenditure to
remedy the work shall be borne by thecontractor. The engineer’s decision in this regard shall be final.
3.4.7 Cleaning up
Te contractor shall remove from the site at intervals during the course pf the work and on completion all
unnecessary materials, plant, cut off piles, rubbish and debris resulting from te piling operations
The contractor shall provide all frames, equipment, lifting devices and labour necessary for the driving of
piles. He shall only use the type of piling rigs approved by the authority for the work.
Before the commencement of works, the contractor shall submit to the engineer full details of his working
programme, including the type of hammer which he intends to use.
The engineer shall order the removal or replacement any equipment whenever he thinks that such equipment
and staff are not suitable for the works.
The greatest care, to the statisfaction of the engineer, shall be taken in handling and slinging of piles and no
pile shall be lifted other than by slinging from approved lifting holes or points. Piles shall be pitched accurately
in their positions and on the appropriate lines and levels. No pile which has deflected from its course or
wrongly aligned shall be forcibly brougt back to alignment.
Before commencing the driving of each pile, the leaders or guides of the pile frame shall be checked for
plumb in any two directions and shall be maintained plump during dricing to the statisfaction of the engineer.
At o time during driving operation shall the centre of the pile monkey (or hydraulic ram) be more than 40 mm
off centre in respect to the pile being drivien in any given direction.
During driving, the heads of pile shall be protected by helmets of cast or mild steel, fitted closely around the
pile heads. A packing of coiled hemp rope or asbestos-free fibre, 25 mm thick, covering the head of the pile
and cushioning it, shall be placed within the helmet. The top of the helmet shall be recessed and fitted with
a stub dolly 300 mm long. The packing and stub dolly shall be renewed as often as necessary or as directed
by the engineer to prevent any damage to the pile.
Driving of the piles shall be continuous without interruptin. Ydraulic hammers are to be used to drive each
pile to the required oenetration length or the required set so as to provide the required load carrying capacity
as pre-determined.
Any pile damaged during handling, pitching, driving or at any other times shall be replaced with new piles at
the contractors expense, even if piles of bigger capacity are required
The pre-determined weight, type, and the height of fail of the hydraulic hammer to be used and the final set
to which the pile shall be driven, shall be strictly observed and shall be to the approval of the engineer
For pile to set : use of extension dolly or diesel hammer for driving piles to the required set as determined
shall be strictly disallowed.
No driving shall be carried out without the presence of the engineer or his representative who reserves the
absolute right to take measurements as and when he deems fit and necessary. Sequence of driving of pile
shall be to the approval or as directed by the engineer.
Any pile which is cracked or damaged during driving shall be cut off and recast or rejected as the engineer
may decide. The welding/cutting and/or replacement of piles shall be at the constractors expense.
The contractor is to keep a complete continuous record for the actual penetration of each and every pile
driven and shall furnish copies are to be submitted daily to the engineer.
The piling records shall include data on the pile diameter or size, length, location, type, weight of hammer,
calculated safe working load, rate of penetration and nnumber of blows for every 300 mm penetration,
penetration under the last thirty blows of the pile, temporary compression and set, cut off level and final
penetration and any other relevant information which the engineer may require. The proposed thype of
recording forms to be used by the contractor shall be approved by the engineer prior to the commencement
of the piling works.
3.4.11 Re-driving
Observation and measurement shall be made at the site dlung the progress of driving piles, by any suitable
method approved by the engineer, to determine wheter a driven pile has been lifted from its original seat
duing the driving operation of adjacent piles. The contractor shall provide the necessary tools, instruments,
and any other assistance to record these measurements.
Where such observations r measurements indicate that a pile has been unseated, it shall be re-driving to the
specified set as determined by the engineer. No payment shall be made for re-driving of heaved piles. The
egineer reserves the right and authority to acceptor rejectet any pile unseated and heaved piles rejected
under this circumstance shall be considered as “failed” and shall be replaced at the contractor’s expense as
directed and to the satisfaction of the engineer.
3.4.12 Preboring
Preboring work before erection is necessary if based on the soil test results there is a lens or a thin hard soil
layer that does not allow it to be used as an end bearing, but the lens cannot be penetrated by direct erection
so a preboring process is needed to punch holes in the lens so that it can be penetrated by the pile during
erection, and the depth of the pile is obtained according to the pile foundation planning
After the preboring process reaches the depth of the lens and it is confirmed that the lens has been
penetrated by the drill bit, the drilling is stopped until it penetrates the lens. Furthermore, the erection process
is carried out.
For the use of the size of the drill bit is adjusted to the size of the pile, ideally the size of the drill bit is smaller
than the size of the pile in order to obtain maximum pile friction, but there are times even though the size of
the drill bit is the same as the size of the pile, however, when the erection was carried out, the pile could not
penetrate the lens, this was caused by several possibilities, including an avalanche in the borehole or indeed
the condition of the ground was quite harsh. This creates a new problem, namely, the condition of the
embedded pile becomes hanging because the drilling depth is deeper than the embedded pile so that the
pile must be replaced, by shifting the point according to planning calculations. Because the hanging piles
cannot be counted for their contribution to withstand the weight of the building.
4 Analysis Methodology
Calculation of the axial bearing capacity of pile foundations using the APILE program. In this program,
the axial bearing capacity of the foundation can be calculated using 4 methods, namely the FHWA
Method, USACE Method, Lambda Method and RP2A API Method. In this study, the carrying capacity
of piles was used on average from some of these methods.
fx = αx . cx
Where :
αx = Shear strength coefficient of undrained soil
cx = Shear strength of undrained soil (tsf)
αx value obtained from the chart recommended by the RP2A API (1986), it can be seen in the
following figure.
Note: on APILE the value of the friction angle between the ground and the pile wall δ =
ɸ - 5o
The load transfer curve against blanket resistance based on API RP 2A can be seen in the
following Figure and Table .

Table 4. 3: N q Value for Non Cohesive Soils
The Lambda method was developed for clay soils, where the method is recommended that subsurface
soils consist of 75% or more of the clay soil.
15
The Lambda method does not propose an equation for the sand layer at the end resistance.
Therefore, the APILE program uses the API equation of tip resistance (previously described
in Section 4.1.1).
Loose 10 B
Medium Dense 15 B
Dense 20 B
The friction of the pile can be determined by the following equation:
fs = K’v tan
’v = ’D untuk D < Dc
’v = ’Dc untuk D ≥ Dc
Qs = fs As
Where:
K= Lateral ground pressure coefficient (Kc for compressive poles and Kt for tensile posts)
s'v = Effective overburden pressure
d = Angle of friction between the ground and the pole
g' = Weight of the effective contents of the soil
D = The depth along which the overburden pressure is effectively calculated
Dc = Critical Depth
As = Side surface area of the pile
B. Skin Friction
The carrying capacity of the end of the unit can be determined as follows:
q = s'v Nq
s'v = g'D for D < Dc
s'v = g'D c for D ≥ Dc
16
Where:
q= End holdunit
g'= Weight of the effective contents of the soil
D= The depth along which the overburden pressure is effectively calculated
Dc = Critical Depth
17
c = Undrained shear strength at the end of pile, taken as an average at a distance of 2
diameters below the end of the mast
Qp = pile end bearing capacity
Ap = Cross-sectional area of the end of the pile
Below are the recommended parameters of Meyerhof (1976) based on the size of the shear
angle of the soil.

The foundation usedin the design is a pile with a diameter of 600 mm with an adjustable depth based
on the carrying capacity obtained. In the calculation of the carrying capacity of a single axial used
Safety factor of 2.5. The calculation of carrying capacity is assisted using the program from Ensoft A
pile while for lateral it uses Ensoft Lpile.
