A critical rule of the GeoSS guidelines involves evaluating hydraulic jacking machinery. Modern equipment in Singapore can supply up to 800 tonnes of jacking force. However, pushing equipment to its upper structural boundaries increases the risk of mechanical deviations and structural pile failure.
If a pile penetrates a consolidating soft soil layer, designers must account for a reversal of force (downdrag) when calculating the required jacked load ( Pjcap P sub j
) Calibration : The pile is pressed down with a force systematically adjusted in steps to a final value of .
| Pile type | Typical jacking force | Rig type | |-----------|----------------------|-----------| | 200x200 mm RC pile | 1,500 – 2,500 kN | Small hydraulic rig (e.g., Yoke type) | | 300x300 mm RC pile | 3,000 – 4,500 kN | Medium tracked rig | | Steel pipe (OD 406 mm) | Up to 6,000 kN | Heavy reaction rig with anchor piles |

Conclusion Good practice for jacked foundation pile installation in Singapore requires integrated geotechnical investigation, regulatory compliance, careful equipment and method selection, rigorous monitoring, and strict QA/QC—combined with sensitivity to urban impacts and the island’s specific ground conditions. Rigor in planning, real-time controls during jacking, and clear acceptance/remediation criteria ensure structural performance, minimize risk to adjacent assets, and meet Singapore’s high standards for safety and environmental protection.
Unlike driven piles, jacked piles require a controlled, steady penetration rate.

This paper covers good practice for jacked precast concrete (spun pile) and steel pipe piles (driven/jacked hybrid) with working loads up to 3000 kN.
Continuous checks on pile verticality are essential during the initial jacking stages. Record Keeping:
The termination of a jacked pile is not solely based on depth but on a rigorous "set" verification process: Jacking Force ( Pjcap P sub j
