Concrete and pile works must comply with SABS standards, including concrete strengths by element and curing durations. Piling requirements cover CFA Ø450mm pressure-grouted piles, service loads, setting-out verification, tolerance limits, pile integrity testing by independent geotechnical engineers, cube testing schedules, and submission of test results and certificates.
