To distribute a
single load equally
over the pile group
and thus over a
greater area of
bearing potential.
To laterally
stabilize
individual piles
thus increasing
overall stability
of the group.
To provide the
necessary
combined
resistance to
stress set up by
the super stucture
and ground
movement
To transmit the
building loads to
the foundations
and the ground
soil layers
whether these
loads vertical or
inclined.
To allow column
or superstructure
to reside on a
stable and solid
core foundation
instead of
residing directly
on ground.

Precast to
required specifications
Can be made in advance
and the progress of the
work will be rapid
Compacts the adjacent soil
mass and bearing capacity
of the pile increased
Neat and Clean,
supervision of work can
reduced to minimum

Precast concrete properly
reinforced to withstand
handling stresses during
transportation
Advance planning is
required for handling
and driving
Required heavy
equipment for handling
and driving
Additional cost
for cut off
method

• The subsoil of the soil is
excavated to reduce level for
the construction of pile cap
• The excavated material is
disposed off-site by lories
• The pile is tied on it’s
lifting lug
• Lifting the pile
• The pile is straighten and
ready for hammering
LIFTINGEXCAVATION HAMMERING PROCESS
• The pile is driven into the
ground by using drop
hammer.
• The subsoil around the pile
shaft is displaced
• The pile is hammered into
the ground until it cannot
be driven into the soil any
further or to certain depth

• The concrete is crushed by
Pneumatic hammer
• The reinforcement in the pile is
cut by cutter
• The cut pile is lifted off and
disposed
• The formwork is build by using
plywood
• The reinforcement is inserted into
the formwork
• The concrete is poured into the
formwork and vibrated it
CUTTING OF THE PILE CONSTRUCTION OF PILE CAP

Rainfall may delay
construction work when
concreting for pile cap.
Safety concern
when constructing
huge pile cap
HEAVY RAINFALL
CAUSE DELAY
HARM
DEFORMITY FAILURE
Deformity of pile cap
causes it to be unable
to function to its full
capacity to bear loads.
Possible failure of
improperly installed
or unsupported sides
during pile cap
construction
