Pile ready for driving

SOLIDITY
West's shell pile is RIGID
because it is DRIVEN.
The ratio between skin friction, (the consolidating effect of the earth round the pile), and toe resistance in the load- bearing stratum, can be calculated and the final "set" predetermined according to load required.
It is SOLID because the concrete core, reinforced as required, is cast after driving, providing a solid UNSTRESSED column from stratum to structure.
