During the last few years, the use of Pre-tensioned spun High strength Concrete(PHC) pile has been gradually increased in many construction sites such as super high-rise and large building construction. there is almost no specific code and/or standard described in the specifications to check verticality for Pre-tensioned Spun High Strength Concrete pile installation process. The most commonly used method for the vortical PHC pile installation is a naked-eye measurement or water level measurement conducted by assistant crew in the construction sites. And recent analysis results of the pile cutting work revealed that it frequently makes a lot of cracks which significantly reduce the strength of the pile and is very labor intensive work, thus requiring a large amount of additional time, costs, and efforts. The main objective of the research is to analize problems and to improvement. measure of PHC Pile Construction. The improvement measure present to the main problem with survey and discussion.
