SECANT PILE SHAFT CONSTRUCTION - Malcolm Drilling
A total of 76, 3.3-ft diameter secant piles form a com-pression ring. The secant piles are unreinforced 3,000 psi concrete, and design relied on a minimum 1.5-ft thick effective compression hoop to resist the specified shaft For secant piling, installation tolerance is critical to project success and directly related to cost.
