When a pile has been driven close to the ground level and an extension is required, the driving must be
immediately stooped. Joint plates are to be cleaned thoroughly from mud, dust, oil and other residues
detrimental to the welding. Cleaning can be done by using wire brush and some solvents in between runs
of weld.
After that, an extension pile is being lowered to sit concentrically over it. The two piles will be aligned
automatically.
Welding is performed by means of either manual or semi-automatic is welding. For manual welding,
electrodes should be selected carefully and confirm to type of BS 4360 as minimum or higher if deemed
necessary. Semi-automatic welding should be non-gas shield are welding.
Throat depth should be filled with more than two layers of welding material and slag removed in between
layers. Metal oxide paint can be applied as an anticorrosion measure. The welding must be checked and
inspected and carried out to the satisfaction of the Engineer (and SOW) and waiting for at least 15 minutes
before continue driving proceeds.
