Auckland Structural Group Piling Specification
The Auckland Structural Group Piling Specification is a generic specification for use in piling contracts. The piling specification is intended to be a standalone document that can be included with the main specification. Project specific clauses referring back to the main specification are included, along with prompts as to what project items should be specifically covered.
As well as covering general pile construction, materials and workmanship, the specification has detailed provisions for:
- Bored Piles – cased, grooved, belling for cast-in-place, precast, steel or timber.
- Driven Piles – driven steel (top and bottom driven), timber and sheet pile.
- Testing – physical and dynamic.
Sample project specific examples and record sheets are given.
The appendices include Hiley formulae for reference. Although the specification has been written for the Auckland Region, there is no reason why it cannot be adopted in other regions. Download the ASG Piling Specification. (334KB PDF).

About the ASG
The Auckland Structural Group (ASG)’s main focus through hosting events is to create an informal opportunity for people with an interest in structural engineering to see other interesting work and ideas taking shape in the Auckland region. It is a great opportunity to network and participate in the Auckland structural engineering community through the site visits and technical presentations. These can be counted toward Continuing Professional Development (CPD) as part of structural engineering and civil engineering chartership accreditation.
The Auckland Structural Group (ASG) is run by structural engineers as a voluntary organisation for the benefit of engineering in NZ.
