    1. It is not necessary that the Bakau pile always one length. It is all depend on the design it self. If the During the design stage and by calculation prove that one length of bakau pile is sufficient to cater for the loading, then the designer will specified that only One length of bakau pile is needed. However there always note being inserted for the piling item. The notes always mention that the quantity for piling is provisional. Bakau pile usually applied to the foundation for perimeter drain, fencing or small drain. Sometimes it also being used as foundation forseptic tank or sewerage treatment plan with a small capacity. As for the above method statement it is derive from a project which specified only one length of the bakau pile is needed. If it is more than one length, then the method for jointing shall be included and also the pile driving method might be different if it shall be "pile to set" which is end bearing pile.
