Development of a socket inspection device

The construction of the elevated section of the West Gate Freeway (South Melbourne Section) involves the construction of 420 bored cast-in-place piles socketed into variably-weathered Silurian mudstone or Tertiary basalt rock (Valentine, 1979). The rock sockets in mudstone are excavated using three methods:
