31 62 14 Prestressed Concrete Piles

Utilize this 31 62 14 Prestressed Concrete Piles specification section for machine-driven, precast, prestressed concrete piles for foundation use.

A prestressed concrete pile is both end-bearing and friction-based.

Prepare based on the findings of a geotechnical report prepared by a licensed geotechnical engineer and in conjunction with the project structural engineer.

Since the final depth of piles can vary significantly this work is often specified on a unit price basis. A design depth is established for bidders to base their bids on, with the final depth used for payment purposes.
