Open-end pile foundations are largely used in near shore projectssuch as jetties for loadingunloading of OilLPGetc. Since the construction of these offshore structures implies very heavy and expensive marine equipment, any delay in construction time has to be avoided. The pile installation is often the main part of the critical path in the execution schedule and no construction interruption can be accepted due to acceptance problems of installed piles. It is therefore mandatory that a clear installation procedure, a simple acceptance criterion as well as a fast remedial program for non accepted piles is available for each part of the foundation. This paper deals with the procedure of fixing these criteria.
