Piling Challenge!

The contractors arrived with the auger to clean out the pile holes and due to the soft ground and the ground being completely waterlogged the hole are collapsing making it impossible to pour the concrete, plus we are now down to the water table which in this area is approx 2.3 meters
So now we have to drive a whole new set of piles using a pile driver to overcome this problem.
The Geo engineer didn't think this would be a problem and is reworking the loading calculations.
Let's hope that this will work as I'm getting a bit stressed over this holdup.
