ABSTRACT:
A self-piloting compressible piling is provided comprising a plurality of pre-formed pile sections having bores therethrough and adapted to be arranged in end-to-end relation such that the bores are concentrically collinear. An auger plate is positioned beneath the lowest of the sections and has an upper face and lower face. The lower face of the plate has a plurality of curved blades extending therefrom. The plate further has a flared bore concentrically collinear with the bores of the piling sections through its center such that the diameter of the hole is greater on the upper face than on the lower face. A tension-bearing cable having a collapsible lock-jaw mechanism secured to one end thereof is provided which is extendable from above the highest of the piling sections through the bores of the sections and the bore of the plate and engageable with the lower face of the plate for loading the sections and the plate in compression.
