Down at the Club at 7.00 again. It's becoming apparent that drilling through the pile to bolt the splice plates on is quite time consuming as its difficult to get all three holes aligned. Talk to John Davis about the possibility of using coach screws instead of bolts. Used the air hammer to drive the piles to a 'set'. The piles are reaching their set when only about 4 metres below the mud level instead of the anticipated 6 metres so the piles are plenty long enough, thank goodness!
