Piling & Pile Testing in Thermal Power Plants

Civil Engineering Technician Training

Piling is the backbone of foundation works in Thermal Power Plants. When soil has low bearing capacity, deep foundations are required to safely transfer loads. Pertecnica Engineering provides specialized training for Civil Engineering Technicians in piling and pile testing. This training ensures that technicians understand piling methods, equipment handling, testing procedures, and quality checks to support foundation construction in large EPC projects.

Course Curriculum

1. Introduction to Piling Works

   • Need for piling in thermal power projects

   • Types of piles (driven, bored, cast-in-situ, precast, etc.)

2. Piling Equipment & Tools

   • Rotary rigs, hydraulic hammers, augers, casings, tremie pipes

   • Safety practices in handling piling machinery

3. Piling Techniques

   • Bored cast-in-situ piles

   • Driven piles and sheet piles

   • Pile concreting and reinforcement placement

4. Pile Testing Methods

   • Vertical load tests (compression, tension)

   • Lateral load tests

   • Integrity tests (sonic logging, dynamic pile testing)

5. Quality Control in Piling

   • Checking pile depth, diameter, verticality

   • Concrete placement and curing in piles

6. Field Practice & Case Studies

   • Common problems in piling and how to avoid them

   • Piling in difficult soil conditions
