Piling, apparatus and methods for pouring a concrete piling in situ around
pre-positioned reinforcing rods inside removable hollow pipe sections
that have been screwed into the ground. A final coupler pipe section
including a removable coupler device is releasably attached to a reducer
section and helical screw anchor that are left in the ground. The pipe
sections are connected end to end by helical flanges and are screwed into
the ground using the helical screw anchor. Once the pipe sections are
screwed into the ground to a desired depth, the coupler device is
operated to release the coupler section from the reducer section and the
coupler device is extracted from the pipe sections. Reinforcing rods are
disposed inside the pipe sections and reducer section. Concrete is poured
into the pipe sections and reducer section to encase the reinforcing
rods. The pipe sections including the coupler section are then removed
from the ground and reused.
