Advantages (Statnamic Bored Piles in Four Season Hotel, Ampang)
• Accuracy and improved safety: Do not require reaction beams or anchor piles (can be very costly to install)
• High Test Load Capacity: High load more than 220MN is possible to be applied (where no other static load test can)
• Reduced Work Area: Required work area (overhead and laterally) is greatly reduced.
• Economy: more economical as loads increase.
Advantages (Statnamic Bored Piles in Four Season Hotel, Ampang)
• Rock sockets: High Loads test can be applied directly on deeply rock or soil formations without load shedding in overlaying soils. (eliminates the need for de-bonding techniques)
• Shear/end bearing component: Separate test piles into 2 or 3 piles section, thus automatically measuring reactions for each of the components.
• Static creep effect: A static MLT and uses automativ data acquisition techniques and load maintenance for accurate, efficient data processing & creep measurement.
Advantages (Statnamic Bored Piles in Four Season Hotel, Ampang)
• Performance: Its subsequent performance will be similar to non-tested production piles due to lower amount of generated residual stresses in the piles.

O-cell bi-directional test
CONCLUSION• Ampang areas are made of KL limestone. • LRT tunnel is directly under the building• Building within the development is more than 5
storey.SO
• Fugro Loadtest company carried out 2 full scale multi level O-cell bi-directional load test at the site.
• 2 trial piles under 61m were excavated for 1.5m and 1.8m of each diameter.
CONCLUSION
• The 2 piles provided with 22Mn and 27MN capacity with total gross load potentially 66MN and 81MN.
• By using statnamic bored pile test, the piling work was successful.
