We went to PAn Sheng Developement project of 2 storey Terrace House. We were accompanied by Mrs. Nurziah, Mrs. Ima and Mr. Fabian. We came there to watch how the piling process works.

- As i mentioned before, the project use Bakau pile instead of RC piles.
-For Bakau pile,it is important to determine the ground water table as Bakau stays good if there is water.
- Surface of the cross-section will be cut smoothly without any angle to avoid slippery during attachment.








- Piling machine with a 1 Tan Hammer.














- Using only the piling machine, to carry the bakau to the piling point shows the efficiency of using what they have around them.












-Working on the pile sleeves, attached for the the incoming Bakau.

















- A worker marked on the pile, maximum setting blow. From the marking point, they will calculate the settlement of a total 10 blow to determine the maximum hard stratum/ground.
