Execution should always be supervised by a geotechnical expert to ensure adherence to these guidelines:
The recommendations focus on ensuring both structural stability and long-term durability through standardized practices: Recommendations on Piling
The "Recommendations on Piling" (EA-Pfähle) is a globally recognized handbook by the German Geotechnical Society that serves as the definitive guide for designing and constructing pile foundations. It aligns with Eurocode 7 and DIN 1054 standards, covering everything from single bored piles to complex piled raft foundations . Core Technical Principles Execution should always be supervised by a geotechnical
: Design is based on the partial safety factor approach, differentiating between Ultimate Limit State (ULS) —ensuring the pile doesn't fail—and Serviceability Limit State (SLS), which controls settlements and deformations. which controls settlements and deformations.
