Measuring site work, Excavation and Piling

Bid drawings typically include very little material about the precise requirements of site work operations, measuring site work and excavation work differs from measuring most other works on a construction project. The actual site work conditions are not provided and also the dimensions of the excavations are not known during the pre-construction phase. The precise measurement of the excavation and backfill of the earth material and topsoil is important for a contractor to decide upon the total cost required for the process. All the works should be carried out under OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) standards to ensure the safety of the workers.

Question

1. We typically use load tests or pile driving formulas to test driven piles, because they are precast. List all the typical tests that are recommended on drilled shafts in order to ensure they are properly installed and ready to be integrated with the rest of the structure. 2. In case that a test drilled shaft fails, i.e. shows lower capacity than the one you have predicted in your design, what would you do?
