10 - Drilling fluids:
a- Drilling fluids:
 Basic effect of drilling fluids is to create pressure column to borehole walls and against to soil
pressure on borehole wall and pressure of groundwater and causes leading to landslide the
boreholes.
 Because the drilling fluids keep the borehole walls stability during the construction, they
should be constantly maintained in entire length of boreholes and during the bored pile
construction.
 Drilling fluids can be used such as bentonite or polymer depending on geologic requirements
of each project. The use of bentonite or polymer can also be based on the local requirements
on environmental protection where the project is located.
b- Working principle of drilling fluids:
 Density of drilling fluids is greater than or equal to water density (1> 1.15). Therefore, they
can create pressure equilibrium column and fight from infiltration of groundwater, landslide
due to pressure of groundwater.
 Drilling fluids have high viscosity (18> 45 s), with a lower density to concrete. Therefore,
they bring the flexibility of fluids which help casting concrete by surge mortar method.
 Coating member which is created from the drilling fluids will form a thin member to link the
surface of drilled hole walls and contribute to against the landslide of hole walls.
 Gel degree of fluids brings the consistency throughout the construction process and prevent
from the groundwater infiltration causing the damage to link of fluid components and loss of
drilling fluid effects. Depending on the use of bentonite or polymer, the gel degree can change
leading to change of features appropriately to different construction conditions and methods.
 PH of fluids in a range of 7> 12 will make sure the chemistry of fluids and does not affect to
the quality or concrete or rebar as well as nature of the fluids in the construction process .
c- Selection of bentonite and polymer:
 Density and gel degree of bentonite is larger than polymer. Therefore, it can be used for
different geology types. Especially for some weak geology such as loose mud or crude sand
particles, the bentonite is necessary selection.
 However, besides above mentioned advantages, the bentonite fluid has several limitations:
 Due to big density and gel, it is more complex to treat in both the construction and discharge
to the environment and make unsanitary site.
 Bentonite often causes sediment at pile bottom. Without treating carefully, sediment and solid
bentonite can affect the quality of concrete.
 Due to above factors, construction phases also will be longer.
 Polymer fluid has lighter density, not keep the sand and can be self-disintegrated in natural
environment, hence:
 Sand and solids will immediately sink to the bottom of pile during drilling and just use
buckets to clean the pile bottom after drilling without blowing, washing the fluid. The
construction phase will be shorter.
 Polymer is light and clean. So it does not affect to the quality of concrete when casting.
 It does not affect to the environment.
Rev.C
 The plan is neat and clean.

 However, due to density limitation, the polymer is suitable only for projects with good or
relatively good geology such as clay, hard clay, sandy clay, etc.
 In some cases, the polymer can be used in combination with bentonite to promote advantages
of polymer; simultaneously reduce its weakness.

 Mix the bentonite:

 Bentonite 25kg bag are gathered and stored in a dry warehouse covered with tarpaulin.
 Bentonite is mixed in the mixer by circulating pump method combined with paddle. Mixing
time is 30 minutes for each mixing. Mixing ratio depends upon the bentonite type.
Rev.C
 After mixing, the bentonite fluid is pumped into the tank or silo and incubated for 6 to 12
hours to ensure composition of bentonite to swell up.
 Tests of bentonite quality are conducted after the swell and the fluid is used to achieve the
mechanical and physical indicators according to rules: (Bentonite shall be used and have to
satisfy the requirements in sub-clause 10.5.6.6 and table 1 in TCVN 9395-2012)

 Treat bentonite fluid and reuse:

Used Bentonite fluid which is pumped from pile ditch being poured concrete into sedimentation
tank comprise sands, impurities, solids that are not components of bentonite fluid does not ensure
the technical features to use. So, to re-use, this mixture shall be given a treatment process as
follows:
 Be kept in the tank and wait for sedimentation of all kinds of high density solids such as soil,
coarse-grained sand and garbage.
 Upper liquid bentonite fluid part is pumped up and separated the remaining sand by sand
screening machine.
 Fluid after sand separation process by screening machine will have satisfactory quality for
reuse. This fluid will be pumped back into the silos and ready for the next use.
 The used bentonite fluid often is affected by solid objects, contaminants in soil reducing the
viscosity. So, when treating the used bentonite for re-use, it is necessary to add new bentonite
powder to offset the lost viscosity.
e- Procedure of using polymer as drilling fluid :
 The procedure of using the polymer fluid is basically similar to the bentonite one. However,
because the polymer is light and does not keep the sand, the reuse of polymer is simpler. In
addition to, the polymer must also complement the new powder into used polymer fluid to
offset the viscosity then reuse fluid does not need to pass sand separation line.
Rev.C
 Polymer used as drilling fluid shall often be added Soda additive to increase the viscosity.

11 - Pile axis setting out work:

a- Setting out pile axes and sending focal points:
Before drilling holes to place Casing, it is necessary to accurately position axes and mark on the
construction plan by marker posts (steel nails, paint ...) Coordinates of piles are corrected to 4
focal points under 2 perpendicular direction to check and adjust during the casing down to the
ground (see figure).

Layout of sending focal points

b- Casing place work:
- Casing is 15÷20 mm thick steel pipe with larger inside diameter of 50 to 100 mm pile
diameter; its ‘length is usually 6m with hard strengthening belts. Casing is to help to direct, keep
the top geology from landslide under slip arch, prevent the surface layer of mud dropping into the
boreholes.
- After positioning the axes and send focal points, drill holes by drilling machine, diameter of
drilling bucket is extended to blade so that the diameter of drilled is larger 50 ÷ 100mm than
outside diameter of Casing.
- Typically, the bottom of boreholes to place casing down will be shorter than casing bottom
about 50cm. Then, use Crane and drilling machine to low the casing down to 50cm depth up to
required level. Casing base will be solid, unshakable to prevent drilling fluid level from moving up
and down causing the erosion at the base of casing.
Rev.C
Drill boreholes to place Casing

- During placing the Casing into the prepared boreholes, workers will check the distance from
the point sent to casing wall to ensure the casing is placed down exactly. Plumb and nivo ruler are
also utilized during placing the casing to test the vertical during the placing the casing. Casing pipe
shall be checked carefully before installation.
- After placing the casing, check once again coordinates by total stations under absolute
coordinates of piles. In case of incorrectness, adjust them or even take casing out of to repeat. The
maximum allowed error is 5cm or separately depending on the requirements of each project.
- When coordinates of casing are determined as required, workers will conduct tight backfill the
gaps between the casing body and ground floor, while making earth embankments around the
mouth of casing to prevent drilling fluids from overflowing out of site. The earth embankments
can also be replaced by a prefabricated steel frame with size 2mx2m, height> 0.3 m.
Placing the Casing
Rev.C
12 - Drilling to create boreholes:

a- Preparation before drilling:
- Backfilling to create smooth and clean surface; ensure drilling machines on balanced, stable
and surely positions during drilling;
- Prepare the drilling fluids with good quality, quantity;
- Prepare all systems to contain drilled slugs, prevent from spilling around.
b- Drilling to create the boreholes:
- Drill to create the boreholes by drilling machines with rotable bucket; speed of drilling
depends on the geology and capacity of machines. However, operators should monitor and ensure
drilling tower is always in a vertical state and drillìn lever is in the middle of casing.
- Drilling fluids are continuously supplied during drilling to ensure the drilling fluid level in the
boreholes is lower than casing mouth 2m in maximum and higher than underground level 1.5m in
minimum.
- Geological stratum layers will vary under the depth. Speed, methods and drilling tools
(bucket, bucket teeth) will change to match. Also, the change of each pile strata should be recorded
in the log attached with the corresponding geological sample. When the drill encounters the
bearing rock layer, the rock sample is taken and compared with the rock sample of the geological
survey drill. And drill to the designed depth.
- In addition to the monitoring of operators driving machine, technicial workers also monitor,
test and monitor vertical direction of drilling lever by plumb in the perpendicular direction to the
direction of the drilling stand.
- The drilled muds are contained in tanks and transported out of the site with dedicated truck.
- Field Engineer monitors and records the technical parameters achieved during the drilling in
construction diary of each pile.
-Conditions for stopping drilling: drilling through rock layer 7 = 1m
Rev.C
Drilling work
13 - Checking the vertical direction:
- The vertical direction of drilled piles will be checked by check the koden machine. Maximum
permitted deviation of pile compared to depth in any levels is <= 1%.
- Completed holes with too big deviation as prescribed 1%, their bore hole wall shall be
adjusted by widening in the opposite direction of deviation. Pile body will be expanded but overall
deviation will decrease to the required level.
Rev.C
14 - 1st cleaning the borehole walls

c- Treating crude sediments:
After finishing drilling the boreholes, a lot of muds and solids with high proportion fall into to the
sediment layer at the bottom. Buckets often cannot move this sediment layer, use bucket with
sealed tap to dredge all types of sediments out of the holes. It is about 30 minutes after the end of
drilling so that the entire sediment stops to the bottom of holes and then to dredge.
d- Treating fine sediments:
- Although the bottom sediments are cleaned by dredging bucket, however, bentonite is high gel
fluid, fine land and dust (lower density) components are remained suspending in fluid that not
settle to the bottom. These components will be not suspended in fluids that will subside gradually
in the process of steel frame and concrete placement causing a negative impact on the quality of
the pile.
- The drilling fluids in this case are dirty and under quality. Therefore, it is necessary to blow,
wash to replace all these drilling fluids in boreholes by new fluids to ensure the quality before
coming next items.
- Blowing, replacing the fluids can be conducted by 2 methods:
+ Use air compressors with pressure of 7-15mpa to compress all fluids from the bottom of
boreholes (together with deposited muds) and supply clean bentonite from the mouth of
boreholes.
+ Use suction pumps with capacity of 15kw to 36kw to pump all drilling fluids from the
bottom of boreholes (together with deposited muds) and supply the clean bentonite from
the mouth of boreholes.
+ Always make sure that supplied new drilling fluids is equal to dirty drilling liquids
pumped out to avoid the liquid level to fall down under allowed level causing collapse of
borehole wall.
+ The dirty drilling fluids are returned into sedimentation tank to treat and reuse for other
piles.
Rev.C
Circulation of fluids by suction pump

- Blowing, replacing the fluids ends when entire dirty drilling fluids are replaced by new and
quality fluids.
Using a 1 Kg plumb, tied to the end of a tape measure to measure the depth of the borehole at
the times after dredging and before placing concrete; The difference in borehole depth at these two
measurement times is the sedimentation.
15 - Reinforcement work:
a- Fabrication yard of reinforcement and material gathering work:
- Steel bars to the site shall be right type, attached certificate of origin, satisfactory test of
results before storing.
- Gathering yard and storage area of steels shall be dry area and higher from the ground in
minimum 20cm. Between the steel bundles shall be placed stell or wood purlins with minimum
8cm height. Do not mix rebars with different diameter but to separate into individual kinds.
- Rebar storage area shall be equiped steel barrier of or warning tapes to distinguish rebar
fabricating area and other functional areas.
Rev.C
- Rebar fabricating yard is next gathering yard and storage area; the surface shall be flat, dry
and well drained when necessary. Area of fabricating yard depends on quantity and progress of
each specific project.
- Stored reinforcements and finished steel cages but not be used shall be covered by tapurlin
when it rains or it does not rain but the rebar fabricating is not conducted.
b- Fabricating the bored pile steel cages:
- The steel cages will be fabricated as approved shopdrawings and in compliance with norms of
reinforcement work as defined in Vietnamese Standard.
- he steel cages will be fabricated on steel or wood frames which are higher 30 cm in minimum
from the ground to avoid flooding.
- The steel cages can be fabricated each cage under length of standard rebar (11,7m) or longer
cages (2x11,7m; 3x11,7m or option) to save time. The selection depends on the construction
conditions of each specific project.
- Steel bars will be linked together according to the fastening method according to the design
drawings.
- The ultrasound tubes are placed into the steel cages in right position and fixxed by zinc wires
and hooks under the tube botttom to avoid falling tubes when loading by cranes.
Fabricating the steel cages

c- Installing the steel cages:
- The complete steel cages are placed into the boreholes (Cleanly blown and washed) by the
cranes with sufficient load crane corresponding to the entire weight of piles.
- Before loading the steel cages from fabricating yard, field engineer shall check carefully and
make sure that the steel cages are processed, connected surely and free from obstacles around and
hooks are linked. During loading the steel cages, assign staff to observe the safety to avoid
collisions.
- The steel cages can be placed into the boreholes with each separate cage (11,7m) or more
depending on the construction conditions and detailed methods. The first placed steel cages are
hung on the casing mouth by horizontal bars with enough intensity. The Contractor proposes to
use a bolt joint (U Bold) to connect the steel cages, the joint length is 40d (d: Diameter of steel
bar). Each joint uses 02 U Bold. Joints are used 50% of the steel bars, the remaining 50% use
Rev.C
fastening joints, steel bars connecting with alternating steel bars and longitudinal steel bars are
made on the same 01 section cross-section.
- The ultrasound tubes between cages are connected by welding after the main reinforcement
between the two cages is connected fixedly. During placing the steel cages, the ultrasonic pipes
will be fixed into the steel cages by zinc wires with a minimum distance of 4m/connection.
- It is necessary to fulfill the ultrasonic tubes with the water to prevent uplift and during
checking water level in the ultrasound tubes to detect leakage due to non-ensured welding
connection. In case of leakage, pull up the cages to repeat welding. The ultrasonic tubes are
covered with taps after placing the cages.
- All steel cages are placed to design level and fixed by hanging into the mount of casing. Bar
used to hang the cages shall be calculated with length to suit the level of designed hanging.
Placing the steel cages and fixing.
Rev.C
16 - 2nd cleaning the bottom of boreholes:

- Time of placing the steel cages into the boreholes can last for hours. During that time, eroded
sand from the borehole walls can settle to the bottom of boreholes to form muds and suspension in
the drilling fluids can also settle to the bottom which makes the drilling fluids are thicker at the
pile cap (most of bentonite fluid). in case if the sedimentation exceeds the regulation then it is
necessity to 2nd blow wash in the boreholes to ensure the clean drilling fluids not to affect the
quality of concrete.
- Blowing, washing method is similar to above mentioned blowing, washing method.
17 - Casting concrete:
a- Preparation:
- Construction site plan for casting concrete shall be calculated to avoid interaction with other
construction items and ensure the safety during casting concrete:
+ Location of cranes, vision of operators
+ Road for moving of concrete mixer trucks, ruggedness of the road bed
+ Location of workers casting concrete, visibility, signal
- The necessary auxiliary things:
+ Pump to recovery drilling fluids with enough capacity
+ Standby generators
+ Tremie pipe washing water sources
- Installing tremie pipes:
+Prior to installation, tremie pipe shall be checked to ensure clean, watertight throughout the
depth.
+ Install casting pour frame in middle of pile axes and fix surely.
+ Install the tremie pipes along the depth of boreholes; the site engineer records exactly
number of pipes and length of each pipe at each position. Most of pipes are 3m. In
addition to, 2m and 1m pipes are installed above to adjust the length of entire with
length of pile body.
+ Before installing funnels, drop all installed tresime pipes to catch the bottom of pile holes
make sure that pipes are sufficient to pile length.
+ Bottom of tresime pipes is spaced 40cm maximum from ditch bottom.
+ Tremie pipes have 219mm diameter or 273mm depending on the size of bored pile
diameter.
b- Checking the concrete quality:
- In principle, the concrete quality shall follow to the design, State technical standards and
ensured by suppliers through the quality control tests.
- However, to ensure proper technical execution, on the site, the concrete shall meet some
visual requirements including:
+ Slump is in allowed range to bored pile concrete
Rev.C
+ Plasticity of concrete is shown through the ability to keep the frame after slump test
+ Aggregates of concrete stones are not too big or small
+ Certificate of origin of concrete mixer trucks to demonstrate that concrete is right type
and does not exceed concrete setting time
Test of concrete on the site

c- Casting concrete:
- For the first batch of concrete, use a foam ball to separate the concrete and the drilling fluid in
the pour pipe.
- Prior to installation, tremie pipe shall be checked to ensure clean, watertight throughout the
depth.
- Casting concrete directly from concrete mixer trucks into the funnels to use concrete pressure
to push the drilling fluids from the tremie pipes and push entire drilling fluids, muds at bottom
upward to leave the space for concrete at the bottom of piles. When the concrete leaves from
tremie pipes and spills out from the bottom of piles, its spilling out speed will decrease due to
pressure of drilling fluid Colum. Therefore, reduce the speed of casing concrete from mixer trunks
to the funnels to avoid spilling out.
- The surge level of concrete is checked for each concrete trunk and recorded on diary. The
surge level also decides to cut tremie pipes during casting. Tremie pipes shall always be immersed
in the concrete with minimum 6m to prevent in case of problem which requires taking out or cut,
they are also sufficient with minimum submersion of 1.5 meters. Tremie pipes shall not be
immersed over 12m in the concrete as this may cause loss or occlusion of pipes. In many cases, the
tremie pipes can be stuck.
- Withdraw of tremie pipes after casting the concrete or when cutting the pipes during the
casting shall be conducted with slow speed to avoid impact to the steel cages and avoid bentonite
muds to infiltrate into clean concrete at withdrawn pipes.
- The drilling fluids will spill out during casting concrete and this amount of fluids will be
recovered to treat and reuse. However, quantity of drilling fluids at final phase (about 6 meters)
near the concrete is often exposed cement and not able to re-use. This quantity will not be returned
Rev.C
to the station but it will be pumped to waste storage tanks to treat before transporting out of the
site.
- The first concrete amount poured into the piles will be surge concrete quantity on pile top
after finishing casting concrete. This concrete amount is in direct contact with drilling fluids and
often becomes contaminated, it should be removed. Removed quantity is usually 1m from the
surface.
- For the test pile, the top of the pile is horizontal to the ground level, the clean concrete is
allowed to reach the height of the pipe mouth, the process of withdrawing the wall pipe, the
concrete is still added to ensure the quality of the concrete. . (In some cases, an excavator or pump
truck can be used to add clean concrete during the removal of the bulkhead.)
- All figures during casting concrete include: time, quantity of concrete, surge level, depth of
tresime pipe, cut pipe length, slump ... etc. They shall be recorded accurately in compliance with
defined forms to form the documents of pile quality assessment in the future.
Casting concrete
18 - Withdrawing the Casing and Backfilling the top of boreholes

a- Withdrawing the Casing:
- It is necessary to withdraw casing immediately after completing the concrete
Rev.C
- Use the cranes to withdraw the casing in vertical direction. The crane shall have large lifting
capacity; operation stand is near and face the withdrawal of casing position. Tilt angle of the crane
while drawing the casing is 70 degrees, withdraw the casing by the cable 4 with slow speed. Never
use the crane to shake casing during cable pull of casing.
- Cut all beards for hanging the steel cages and ensure free from obstructions before removing
the casing.
- Use excavators to support during removing casing but to ensure the impact of excavators and
cranes are completely independent on the casing body.
Withdrawing Casing and cleaning pile cap

b- Backfilling the top of boreholes:
- Pile pits will be done backfilling by sand or available materials in four hours after casting
concrete. Besides backfilling, waste fluids in pile pits shall be pumped to take outside to ensure the
pile pits will be done backfilling fully and do not affect the safety. Cover to warning when pits are
not done backfilling yet.
