AGS piling is the working title for a data transfer format for piling data which includes design schedule information, the construction record and as built information.

It is being developed by the AGS Data Management Working Group, in collaboration with the Federation of Piling Specialists (FPS), with support from the Deep Foundations Institute (DFI).

The development, implementation and support to AGS piling is set out on a roadmap, available here:

Draft documentation for AGS Piling has been developed and issued for industry comment.

• The current draft, v0.4.0 issued December 2023, can be downloaded from here.
