Technical question: After driving the piles, when will the foundation plans be available?

It won’t happen. This is probably just an excuse from the design institute. Usually, once the geological survey report is ready and the owner’s requirements are known, along with information from other relevant fields such as the size of the tanks or the type of equipment required, it becomes possible to prepare the basic design drawings
Thank you. In other words, it’s not necessary to have the pile testing report; the design institute can send the foundation plans to the owner just like that. Does the absence of a pile testing report affect the design of the foundation plans?
Pile extraction plan requirements: (1) The general layout has been finalized. (2) The ordering of large-scale equipment is complete, and the basic conditions have been restored. (3) The detailed survey report is available. (4) Pile testing report.
It is necessary for the design institute to verify the pile foundation test reports to check whether they meet the design requirements of the foundation plans; if not, remedial measures should be proposed (such as adding piles, enlarging the foundation, or reinforcing it). However, after the pile foundation drawings are submitted, the foundation drawings should be submitted sequentially.
Hello, do you mean that the equipment orders need to be placed first? If a foundation frame requires piling, it seems that many pieces of equipment haven’t even been ordered yet, and piling plans are already being prepared. Why is that?
Hello, what is the difference between a pile diagram and a foundation treatment diagram? Is there any order?
Foundation treatment encompasses a broader range of methods than pile foundations; it includes deep dynamic compaction in holes, replacement cushioning methods, dynamic compaction, sand and gravel pile methods, vibration compaction, cement-soil mixing methods, high-pressure jet grouting, preloading, compacted cement-soil pile methods, cement-fly ash gravel pile methods, lime pile methods, lime-soil compaction pile methods and soil compaction pile methods, column hammer ramming piles, single-fluid silicification methods, and alkali solution methods, among others. Pile foundations are just a few of the many methods available for foundation treatment.
As for the order, it may or may not be there, depending on the design requirements.
Some mechanical equipment (such as high-power pumps, compressors, etc.) or custom-designed equipment that requires further work in the factory (such as hydrogenation reactors, industrial furnaces) need investment from the factory before design work can begin. And some standardized equipment, or non-standard equipment whose load can be calculated through design, or equipment whose design allows for the use of data – thanks to the availability of such data and parameters, it is possible to carry out the design without having to place an order...
If the design institute can confirm the equipment weight, there is no need to change the equipment dimensions after placing the order. If it cannot be confirmed, it must be returned under the original conditions. For example, towers – the designs developed by different manufacturers vary in terms of diameter and height.
