and driven piles, to be laterally restrained at the tops by grade beams
or, sometimes, by structural slabs. If you already have a grade beam
grid, it should be possible to add short grade beams diagonally across
the "corners" of the grid to accommodate the mislocated piles. This is
a lot cheaper than adding piles.
You probably want to have a surveyor do an "as-built" pile survey, then
look at the differing conditions, sorting them by severity and then
sprcifying a "fix", with added concrete and rebar as required.
This is a notorious problem with pile jobs, unless you have proper
quality control in the field, which you apparently did not. You can
tell the contractor the old engineer's motto: "Pay me now or pay me
later". When will they ever learn? When will they eeeevvfeeerrrr
learn? (Hat Tip to Peter, Paul and Mary, who young folks probably don't
remember.)
Happy New Year, All. / eric
