Setting up anchor piles/ leveling site

• Mark out lines for house site, 8m from fence boundary.
• Set up dumpy to 1700mm.
• Measure out anchor pile locations from floor plan.
• Level site by adding or removing gravel at anchor piles to 1700mm.
• Compress gravel with compactor at anchor piles to 10mm within 1700mm.
• Level off anchor piles with spirit leveller.
• Pack where required.

• Bracing were build from the longest lenght of the building site.
• These were drilled 100mm from the anchor piles at each end. Each hole drilled roughly 1m.
• Steel rods cut to 400mm to hold down bracing.
• String line set parrell and square before placing anchor boxing.
• Anchor boxing lined with string line and checked with a dodging block.

• Took photos of the footpath, driveway and gutter for evidence of how the terrain looked like in case the council got heavy with damages.



 

Digging pile level, plumb and square to the same dumpy measurement (1700mm) for the whole site.
