“A FORM FOR EVERY PILE— A PILE FOR EVERY PURPOSE”
CUPPOSE that Raymond Concrete Piles were formed by being cast-in-place in a mere hole
in the ground, instead of in a spirally reinforced steel shell. It occurs to us that the average Architect or Engineer would insist upon satisfactory answers to the following questions:
1. To what elevation would water or other semi-fluid rise in the hole?
2. How much mud would become an ingredient of the concrete?
3. How much of the original moisture in the mix would be lost from absorption by the surrounding
soil ?
4. How much would the setting concrete be disturbed by ground pressure or pressure of adjacent pile
driving?
A careful analysis of these suggestions should make clear that there is only one satisfactory answer— namely, to pour the concrete into a steel shell, which is left in the ground. In other words, to specify concrete piles formed by the Raymond Method.
