2.1 Pipe Piles: Pipe piles shall conform to ASTM A252. All piles shall be Grade 2 with plain ends and shall be straight seam welded. One splice per pile may be used if it is located within 10 feet of either end of the pile, and tension test specimens from sample splices conform to the strength requirements of Table 1 of ASTM A252. Welds shall be ground down such that they are smooth and flush with the pile exterior.

2.1.1 Pile Diameter: Steel piles shall be furnished in the diameters shown on the drawings. The diameters shown on the drawings are outside diameters.

2.1.2 Wall Thickness: The wall thickness of all steel pipe piles shall be 0.375 inches.

2.1.3 Paint the exterior of each pile with one coat (4 mil DFT) of black marine grade epoxy. Prior to painting the exterior of each pile with black marine grade epoxy, sandblast each pile in accordance with SSPC SP10 (Near White Metal Blast). No Sandblasting Is To Be Done On U.S. Coast Guard Property.

2.1.4 Marking: Each pipe pile shall be legibly marked by stenciling (white paint) or stamping with the following information: Year of manufacture, name of manufacturer, heat number, manufacturing process (ie: seamless, flash welded, fusion welded, or electric resistance welded), outside diameter and nominal wall thickness, weight, length, grade, and the specification number. The letters shall not be less than 3/4 inch high, if stenciled, and not less than 1/4 inch high if stamped. The required data shall be marked on both ends of each pile.

2.2 Concrete Fill: ASTM C94, minimum 4000 psi compressive strength at 28 days, 5 to 9 percent air entrainment, 4 inch maximum water slump, and free of calcium chloride or any admixture containing calcium chloride. Maximum water to cement ratio shall be 0.45. Maximum aggregate size shall be 3/8 inch. Accomplish air entrainment using an air entraining admixture. A superplasticizing admixture shall be added to the concrete at the job site. The superplasticizing admixture shall meet the requirements of ASTM C 494, Type F and the minimum relative durability factor shall be 90. After the superplasticizer has been added, the slump range shall be 6 to 8 inches. Concrete mix design is the Contractor's responsibility and shall be in accordance with ACI 211.1.

2.3 Concrete Curing Compound: ASTM C 309

PART-3 EXECUTION

3.1 Driving Equipment: Pile hammers shall be air, steam, or diesel powered, and have sufficient weight and energy to install the piles without damage. Minimum driving energy shall be 15,000 foot-pounds. Place driving helmet or a cap and cushion block combination capable of protecting the head of the pile between the top of the pile and the ram to prevent impact damage to the pile. Replace with a new block if it has been damaged, split, highly compressed, charred or burned or has become spongy or deteriorated in any manner. The helmet or block shall uniformly and consistently transmit energy to the pile and minimize loss of energy. Use pile driving rig, leads, templates, and guide frames as necessary to install piles within specified tolerances.

3.2 Quality Assurance Provisions:

3.2.1 Responsibility for Tests and Inspection: The Contractor is responsible for the performance of all tests and inspections, ensuring compliance as specified herein and in ASTM A252. The Government reserves the right to perform any of the inspections set forth in the specification in order to ensure compliance.

3.2.2 Examination: Each pile shall be examined for the following defects. The presence of one or more defects shall be cause for rejection of the pile (Repair of defects by welding is permitted only when the depth is not more than 33% of the nominal wall thickness).

3.2.2.1 Pile not manufactured as specified and in accordance with ASTM A252.

3.2.2.2 Diameter varies more than 1% (plus or minus) from the specified diameter (including outside diameter at welds).

3.2.2.3 Weight of any pile shall not be more than 15% heavier nor 5% lighter than that prescribed in Table 2 of ASTM A252.

3.2.2.4 Nominal wall thickness at any point shall not be less than 12.5% under that specified.

3.2.2.5 Pipe pile is not reasonably straight.

3.2.2.6 Surface imperfections exist with a depth exceeding 25% of the nominal wall thickness.

3.3 Preparation: Inspect piles when delivered and when in the leads immediately before driving. Handle piles so as to protect pile coating. Repair damage or defects in pile coatings as specified. Mark the piles in one foot increments with lengths numbered in five foot increments starting at the tip. Perform welding in accordance with AWS D1.1.

3.4 Driving Piles: Handle and drive piles so to prevent overstress or leading from a true position. Drive piles plumb and at the locations shown on the drawings. Operate hammer at manufacturer's rated speed and drive piles without interruption to the indicated minimum tip elevation shown on the drawings. If refusal (150 blows/foot) is reached before the indicated minimum tip elevation, notify the Contracting Officer's Representative who will determine the procedure to be followed.

3.4.1 Damaged Piles: Piles damaged or driven below the design cutoff shall be replaced with new or be pulled and redriven as directed by the Contracting Officer's Representative. Additional work required due to improper installation is the Contractor's responsibility.

3.4.2 Predrilling, Spudding or Jetting: Predrilling, spudding or jetting of piles is not permitted.

3.5 Cutoffs and Fill: Cut piles at indicated cutoff elevation using an approved method and remove all pile cutoffs from the site. Completely fill piles with concrete. Place concrete by tremie. Provide mechanical vibration for consolidation of at least the top 5 feet of concrete in each pile. Finish the tops as indicated, and apply liquid curing compound in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

3.6 Records: Keep a complete and accurate record of each pile driven. Indicate pile location, diameter, original length, mudline elevation, tip elevation, cutoff elevation, penetration in blows per foot for entire length of penetration for the pile, penetration in inches per blow for last 10 blows, hammer data including rate of operation, make, and size, unusual pile behavior, or circumstances experienced during driving such as redriving, heaving, obstructions and unanticipated interruptions. Make the pile driving records available to the Contracting Officer's representative within 24 hours of completion of pile driving. Submit complete records of the installed piles to the Contracting Officer within 7 calendar days after completion of driving.
