A method for securing piling segments together to form a single foundation
piling using an alignment securing assembly and vibrations sent through
the piling as. Piling segments are driven into the ground on top of each
other, forming a piling. A single piling passageway is formed when the
piling segments are in alignment. An alignment securing assembly is placed
in the passageway. Vibrations are sent through the piling so that grout
will not gather in the upper portions of the passageway before the lower
portions of the passageway are filled with grout. The grout cures and the
piling segments are secured so that the segments will not slip. The
alignment securing assembly uses an anchoring device that is lowered and
set in the passageway so that tension can be applied by a cable. The
tension from the cable and anchoring device causing a compressive effect
on the piling.
