Method of splicing pile cages, set of components therefor, and assembled pile cages

摘要

This invention relates to a method of splicing pile cages, to a set of components therefor,and to assembled pile cages, and in particular to a method of splicing togethertwo pile cages of a reinforced concrete pile. The method employs two pile cageswhich are each assembled from a number of cage bars and at least one frame, one ofthe pile cages having a suspension band adjacent to one of its ends, the other pilecage having at least one support plate adjacent to one of its ends, the support platehaving a hole therethrough. One of the pile cages is lifted into a pile hole withits end projecting therefrom, and the second pile cage is lifted over the firstpile cage and lowered until a part of the cage bars of the second pile cage overlapa part of the cage bars of the first pile cage, and the hole in the support plate liesbelow the suspension band. A suspension bolt is inserted through the hole in thesupport plate so that a part of the suspension bolt lies underneath a part of thesuspension band, whereby the first and second pile cages can be lifted togetherwith the suspension bolt engaging the suspension band.
