Cylindrical hollow prestressed concrete piles
Drilling platforms in Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela are supported by piles up to 200 ft long; lately hollow prestressed concrete piles of 36 in. diam and 5 in. wall thickness were used; new rapid method measures point and frictional resistance of soil and information is relayed by radio to main office, where soil engineer decides on pile lengths and orders proper piles; fabrication and driving of piles.
