borehole. Standard industry practice is to hydrate bentonite slurry for 24 hours prior to its use in drilled shaft construction. Bentonite slurry should be added to the borehole only after its viscosity stabilizes, which is an indication that the bentonite has become fully hydrated.

For uncased wet holes, maintain the drilled shaft excavation full of slurry or water to such a depth that water does not flow into the shaft excavation at any time. Use concrete pump pipe at least 4 inches (100 mm) in diameter and constructed with water-tight joints.

Concrete for Drilled Shafts Drilled Shaft Type Concrete Non-reinforced Class A Reinforced Class C Slurry and underwater concrete placement Class SS Use coarse aggregate Grade 4, 5, or 6 for drilled shaf t concrete in reinforced drilled shafts. Grade 2 or 3 may be used if the shaft is dry and reinforcing steel has a 5-in. minimum clear spacing.

Figure 5: Mining excavation beneath P1 slab To facilitate placement of the precast columns within the drilled shaft holes, special guide templates were designed and

Our products, technical service and equipment are used in a wide variety of applications for contractors in the construction of deep earth excavations such as foundation drilled shafts, diaphragm slurry walls, tunneling, soil mixing and micropiles. Our products and technology also extend to other heavy civil construction industries.

For these shafts, the concrete is placed using slurry displacement or underwater placement. These shafts do require specific methods and equipment. Stabilizng Slurry Drilling slurry stabilizes the drilled shaft excavation in soft soils or when ground water is present.

Here a bentonite slurry is being used to prevent collapse of the sides of the hole, which has been drilled in unstable ground. When the concrete flows out of the tremy pipe at the bottom of the shaft, it displaces the slurry, which is lighter. The concrete weighs about 145 pounds per cubic foot, the slurry …

Some of the shafts are 100 or more feet deep. Slurry is a thick fluid used in drilling. It congeals the soil being removed and stabilizes the drilled hole until concrete is placed in the shaft. After use, slurry is pre-treated before disposal into the sanitary sewer which flows …

Drilled Shaft vs. CFA Foundation Auger Cast Piles Use of casing or slurry to temporarily support the hole is avoided. Drilling the hole in one continuous process is faster than drilling a shaft excavation. Because of torque requirement the diameter and length of CFA piles are generally less than drilled shafts.

625.03 Drilled Shaft Work Plan Develop a work plan for all the drilled shafts and submit the plan for review and acceptance by the Engineer 30 days prior to beginning construction of the drilled shafts. The Drilled Shaft Work Plan shall provide detailed project specific information, including the following: 1.

The drilled shaft industry places the highest demand on the slurry performance of any drilling discipline. Fluids are simple by design yet are required to stabilize a wide range of very unstable soils. They accomplish this without affecting side or end load bearing properties.

Drilled shaft installation plan procedures are subject to trials in the field. The Engineer's approval does not relieve the Contractor of completing the work and is not cause for extra compensation if construction methods or equipment do not provide a satisfactorily drilled shaft.

Specification for the Construction of Drilled Piers ACI 336.1-01 This specification covers requirements for drilled pier construction. It includes delivery, handling, and storage of the casing, excavation, soil test-ing, placing of concrete and reinforcing steel, and inspection. Drilled piers are sometimes called drilled shafts, caissons, or ...

Addressing this situation requires a delicate balancing act of maintaining proper hydrostatic head pressure while filling the drilled shaft with an appropriate slurry mixture. This procedure keeps the walls intact while the shaft is drilled and the concrete poured. Like everything we do, successful slurry drilling requires people equal to the task.

shaft excavation inspections, obstructions, deviations from the approved plan, etc.) of the drilled shaft construction. The Contractor's drilled shaft inspector will also be responsible for completing and signing the NMDOT Drilled Shaft Inspection Reports. The superintendent cannot fulfill the role of the certified drilled shaft inspector.

Drilled shafts or caissons consist of concrete and reinforcing steel. This is typically the solution when high axial and/or lateral capacity or a rock socket are required for a foundation system. Beaty has drilled shafts up to 108" diameter and can handle difficult soil conditions requiring cased shafts or slurry …

Drilled shafts are cast-in-place concrete, deep foundation elements that require high levels of quality control to ensure the borehole does not become unstable either during excavation or during concreting. Bentonite slurry is a popular choice among state DOT officials nationwide to maintain borehole stability as it has a long history with reasonable load carrying performance.
