Filed:

Sep 14, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/943066

Inventors:

Michael Whitsett - Bush LA, US

International Classification:

E02D 7/28
E02D 5/38

US Classification:

405233, 405249, 405251, 405253, 5274115

Abstract:

An in-situ pile apparatus includes a helical anchor to which a plurality of elongated generally cylindrically shaped sections can be added. Each of the sections has a specially shaped end portion for connecting to another section. An internal drive is positioned in sections inside the bore of each of the connectable pile sections. The internal drive includes enlarged sections that fit at the joint between pile sections. In one embodiment, the internal drive can be removed to leave a rod behind that defines reinforcement for an added material such as concrete. The rod also allows for a tension rod connection from the anchor tip to an upper portion attachment point.

Appl. No.:

10/983914

Inventors:

Michael Whitsett - Bush LA, US

International Classification:

E02D 7/22

Abstract:

An anchor pile apparatus has a helical anchor rotatable by a power source through an intermediate drive member. The drive member extends through a plurality of hollow pile sections, which are driven, one by one, into the soil following the penetration of the anchor. In one of the embodiments, the anchor and the pile sections are rotated separately by independent motors, thus expediting the installation of the pile in the pre-determined location.
