Part B - Verifications and approval requirements
67
[Doc. No. 325] Confirmation of the feasibility of dynamic pile load tests to be supplied by the
architect, taking all the relevant effects on the foundation installation process
into account (e.g. allowing for a cofferdam when installing sensors and laying
cables)
[Doc. No. 326] Verification report(s) pertaining to Docs. No. 320, 321, 322, 323, 324 and
325.
3.3.3.5 Documents to be submitted for the 3 rd release
The following verified geotechnical documents shall be included with the application documentation
for the 3 rd release:
[Doc. No. 330] Design and project-specific supplementary geotechnical reports
[Doc. No. 331] Verification report pertaining to Doc. No. 330.
Any supplementary geotechnical reports that may also need to be submitted for the 3 rd release
shall comply with the project-specific stipulations resulting from previous approvals,
permits, authorisations and orders issued by the BSH.
3.4 Implementation phase
3.4.1 Preliminary remarks
The installation of the foundation elements, as well as the possible need to prepare the subsoil
conditions in line with the planning documentation, have an effect on the intended functionality
of the foundation and shall be planned and implemented accordingly.
The monitoring of the production of the foundation elements shall comply with the corresponding
guidelines for support structures detailed in chapter B2.4.2.1.
3.4.2 Technical codes of practice
The technical codes of practice to be applied whilst the foundation elements are being constructed
are derived from DIN EN 1997 (Eurocode 7) and the normative references contained
therein.
3.4.3 Requirements and required verifications
Special underground engineering processes are applied during the foundation element installation
process. The approval holder is responsible for ensuring that these are monitored onsite
by an expert and accordingly examined by the appointed inspector.
Whilst the foundation elements are being constructed, all the required observations to be able
to assess the success of the installation and to verify the geotechnical assumptions and preconditions
detailed in the design document shall be made by the monitoring expert and documented
for the geotechnical installation report.
3.4.4 Geotechnical documents to be submitted when applying for operating release
[Doc. No. 340] Geotechnical as-built documentation in accordance with chapter B3.3.3.2
[Doc. No. 341] Report on the results of the dynamic pile load tests
