Does anyone know what MF 04 code should be used for Rammed Aggregate Piers or Vibro Piers?

You could also do it within the 31 66 00 category.

You should submit your question to the MasterFormat Maintenance Task Team at www.MasterFormat.com.

You want to be in the general area of 31 62 13.26 Pressure Injected Footings or 31 66 13 Special Piles, which would include vibro-compacted or vibro-flotation piles.

Search those last two methods on the Net to get an idea of what is being offered and by whom.

Not having heard the term 'rammed' here in Florida, I checked 'rammed granular piles' on the Net and found several entries that may interest you.
I am an architect, not a civil engineer, and my knowledge in this field is limited.
