STRINGING
1. Install a pile at the initial starting point. Remove the
initial pile marker and line the point of the screw pile
with the location where the marker was.
2. Ensure the pile is held plumb and in the proper loca-
tion using a level and steel measuring tape.
3. Drive the pile to the correct depth as indicated by the
construction documents (for Duo, this typically means
4. Repeat further down the row with another pile to cre-
ate the next attachment point for the string line, once
again measuring and ensuring plumbness.
5. Continue to the end of the row, as required to set a
string line.
6. Run a string line between all piles at the same height.
For consistency, the string line should run along the
same side of the pile for the entire site (for example, al-
ways wrap counterclockwise, then install new piles on
the south side of the string). This will help prevent zig-
zagging.
When topography is present, intermediate pile or stakes
must be installed so that the string line can transition
through hills and valleys at a moderate rate. Although
the racking will follow terrain, it has limits. Therefore,

REVIEW & INSTALLATION PREPARATION
After site preparation has been completed and the site
surveying is done, the piles are ready to be installed. It
is the responsibility of the site lead to review and un-
derstand the site foundation layout, surroundings, in-
stallation procedures, and to manage the installation
(embedment depths, spans, etc.) that need to be met
according to site testing and data gathered prior to the
start of the project. The site lead must verify that the
piles on site match the order and project requirements.
Dimensions in the East-West direction will change de-
pending on row length, row location, and location with-
in the row. Closely follow the construction plans and if
there are any questions/discrepancies, bring them up
to the site lead or project manager before installing any
piles.
MEASURING
All measurements in the East-West direction must be
made with a steel tape, and made from the start of the
row, not pile to pile. For example, if the plans were to call
staked to the ground, and the ground should be marked
Measuring from pile to pile allows tolerances to stack
installation issues further down the road. If necessary,
tapes should be marked prior to usage or prints should

by measuring diagonals. If marks are found to be out of
square, make adjustments to correct.
