So when someone makes a mistake, nobody usually notices; it only shows once the structure loads the piles or the excavation goes deeper. At that point, putting it right costs far more than doing it properly the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We compiled the list below from what we have seen on sites since 2006. In addition, each point ends with how we handle it on our own jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bored-piles\">Common site mistakes in bored piling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Pouring concrete without a tremie pipe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the bore holds water or bentonite, concrete dropped freely from the top segregates and loses strength. As a result, the pile loses strength and durability. <strong>Instead:<\/strong> lower the tremie pipe to the base, keep its tip inside the concrete throughout the pour and pour without stopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group fz-videos fz-videos--svc is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><figure class=\"fz-yt-wrap\"><a class=\"fz-yt\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wN6bC1_hPLg\" data-id=\"wN6bC1_hPLg\" data-title=\"Why do we pour bored pile concrete through a tremie pipe? (in Turkish)\" aria-label=\"Play video: Why do we pour bored pile concrete through a tremie pipe? (in Turkish)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/wN6bC1_hPLg\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><span class=\"fz-yt-play\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/a><figcaption>Why do we pour bored pile concrete through a tremie pipe? (in Turkish)<small>Includes sample footage for educational purposes<\/small><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Drilling below the water table without casing or support fluid<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In loose ground with groundwater the bore can collapse. The pile section then narrows, or the pile breaks altogether. <strong>Instead:<\/strong> use temporary casing, bentonite or polymer support to suit the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Concreting without cleaning the base<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Loose material left at the base destroys the end bearing of the pile and leads to settlement. <strong>Instead:<\/strong> clean and check the base, then lower the cage and pour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Cages with missing links and no spacers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Missing links let the cage lose its shape; without spacers, the steel rests against the bore wall and corrodes. On the coast, moreover, this happens faster. <strong>Instead:<\/strong> fit links to the design and spacers along the whole cage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"shoring\">Common mistakes in shoring and ground anchors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Digging deeper before stressing the anchors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you dig below an anchor row and carry on without stressing it, the wall moves too much. Consequently, adjacent buildings can suffer damage, and the wall can even fail. <strong>Instead:<\/strong> excavate in the design stages and never go below a row until its anchors pass stressing and testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Skipping anchor stressing and acceptance tests<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nobody can know what load an untested anchor carries. <strong>Instead:<\/strong> prestress every anchor, carry out the acceptance tests in the design and record the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Deep excavation with little or no shoring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Opening a deep excavation without shoring risks collapse and loss of life. Adjacent buildings can also suffer direct damage. <strong>Instead:<\/strong> commission a shoring design before digging, then build the shoring with the excavation, stage by stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also show the consequences of shoring mistakes in short videos. The footage may be sample material for educational purposes and does not come from our sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group fz-videos fz-videos--svc is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><figure class=\"fz-yt-wrap\"><a class=\"fz-yt\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LL-SBhfrHe8\" data-id=\"LL-SBhfrHe8\" data-title=\"The risk of digging before the capping beam is built\" aria-label=\"Play video: The risk of digging before the capping beam is built\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/LL-SBhfrHe8\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><span class=\"fz-yt-play\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/a><figcaption>The risk of digging before the capping beam is built<small>In Turkish; may include sample footage for educational purposes<\/small><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<figure class=\"fz-yt-wrap\"><a class=\"fz-yt\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=867nev0GHe8\" data-id=\"867nev0GHe8\" data-title=\"Never dig deep without shoring\" aria-label=\"Play video: Never dig deep without shoring\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/867nev0GHe8\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><span class=\"fz-yt-play\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/a><figcaption>Never dig deep without shoring<small>In Turkish; may include sample footage for educational purposes<\/small><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can find all our videos on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@fenzemin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/fenzemin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"jet-grout-tests\">Common mistakes in jet grouting and testing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Jet grouting next to adjoining buildings without parameter control<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If nobody watches the pressure and the spoil return, pressure builds up in the ground. As a result, the neighbouring building may heave or crack, or grout may leak into its basement. <strong>Instead:<\/strong> monitor pressure, rotation and withdrawal speed, stop jetting at once if the return stops and monitor the adjacent building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Loading the structure without testing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without tests, nobody spots a defective pile or column. <strong>Instead:<\/strong> carry out PIT, coring and, where needed, load tests to suit the design. In Karak\u00f6y, for example, we had PIT carried out on the piles and cores taken from the jet grout columns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6af0a5b90c4e8&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6af0a5b90c4e8\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/fenzemin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/karakoy-jet-grout-karot-numuneleri-2024-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Karak\u00f6y, 2024: core samples taken from jet grout columns\" class=\"wp-image-3074\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fenzemin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/karakoy-jet-grout-karot-numuneleri-2024-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fenzemin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/karakoy-jet-grout-karot-numuneleri-2024-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fenzemin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/karakoy-jet-grout-karot-numuneleri-2024-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fenzemin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/karakoy-jet-grout-karot-numuneleri-2024-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/fenzemin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/karakoy-jet-grout-karot-numuneleri-2024.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Karak\u00f6y, 2024 \u00b7 core samples from jet grout columns<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"prevention\">How do we prevent these mistakes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What these mistakes share is a lack of records and checks.
