Lifting

“Lifting’ is assumed to describe the process of vertically lifting piles,
that are resting horizontally, and then moving them to another location. It
applies to any handling process after delivery and befere installation.

Piles should only be lifted via “two points’. Each lifting point should be
located between (0,2 x pile length) to (0.17 x pile length) from each end. This
arrangement minimises the induced pile stresses. Minor dynamic effects are

assumed.

eg for a 21m length pile, each lifting point should be located between
4.2m to 3.6m in from each end,

Lifting can be done via a lifting beam or, if appropriate, with spreader
chains. Nylon slings ere recommended as the contact material to avoid damaging
the surface of the pile.
