Airport Pile
Documentation
Document pile installation on FAA airport construction projects — pile-by-pile elevation verification, GPS-tagged conformance records, and CDA-ready submittals for airfield piling work.
What it does
Pile-by-pile elevation verification
- Design vs as-built pile tip elevation per pile ID
- Tolerance check per FAA/structural engineer spec
- Out-of-tolerance piles flagged immediately
- GPS coordinates per pile for spatial documentation
CDA submittal format
- Pile table: ID, design elevation, actual elevation, deviation, pass/fail
- GPS coordinate grid per pile
- Instrument calibration reference
- PDF formatted for CDA review and acceptance
GPS-verified records
- GNSS fix quality, HDOP, satellite count on every pile shot
- Northing and easting stored per pile
- Defensible record for FAA QC program
- Integrates with RTK rover data
Share with the CDA
- Share conformance package via link
- CDA reviews and approves digitally
- No CDA account required
- Approval timestamped in your job record
Common questions
What documentation is required for pile installation on FAA airport projects?
FAA airport construction projects require QC documentation for all structural work including pile installation. This typically includes: pile ID, design tip elevation, actual tip elevation, blow count records, elevation variance from design, GPS coordinates, and inspector sign-off. The CDA (Construction Document Administrator) reviews and accepts pile installation records as part of the project QC program.
What elevation tolerance is used for airport pile installation?
Elevation tolerances for airport pile installation vary by project and pile type. Driven piles for airfield lighting and sign foundations typically require ±0.05 ft cutoff elevation. Structural foundation piles for terminal and hangar construction are specified by the structural engineer. Gradelog lets you configure the tolerance per job to match your specific FAA contract specification.
Which Gradelog plan includes airport pile documentation?
The Pile Log feature is available on the Field Supervisor plan and above. The FAA Airport Report format for CDA submittals requires the Enterprise plan. Enterprise includes all report types, white-label branding for submittals, and unlimited jobs.
