The net weight of the low-temperature methanol washing tower is 800 tons. Is it necessary to conduct pile foundation tests in Xinjiang before starting the civil engineering work?

For low-temperature methanol washing, the net weight of the washing tower is 800 tons (excluding the internal components); the weight of the equipment when filled with water is 2300 tons. It has an inner diameter of 4700 mm and a tangent height of 87,000 mm, and together with the skirt base, its height is nearly 100 meters. Before carrying out civil engineering construction in Xinjiang at -42.6°C, is it necessary to conduct pile foundation tests? The altitude is about 1,080 m. Do the other columns in the low-temperature methanol washing unit also require pile foundation tests? Question: What are the standard requirements for pile foundation testing? Thank you!
Hope to get some guidance! Thank you! That’s definitely a plus!
The piles are inspected in accordance with the \"Technical Specifications for Testing of Building Piles\" (JGJ106-2003). For important equipment-related civil engineering drawings, separate pile testing is required in advance; if nothing is specified in the drawings, testing will be carried out after the pile foundation construction is completed.
Excuse me, on the third floor: Such important equipment definitely requires pile foundations! Right?
Reply to 4# xnfh_wpzg: You should have a structural designer work on this design. The key is to meet the requirements of the foundation, mainly in terms of bearing capacity and settlement. Pile foundations are just one type of foundation; as for what kind of foundation to use for your project and how to handle the foundation soil, it’s necessary to analyze each specific situation individually.
Whether to use pile foundations should be determined based on the geological conditions; if the conditions permit, piles may not be necessary
