Please Contact Don Theobald at dtheobald@ GCP occupies approximately 90 acres on the Industrial Seaway in Pass Christian on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. We supply products from Houston, Tx to Apalachicola, Fl. From September of 1999 through August 2000 we have produced 179,650 LF of 12” square pile 613,636 LF of 14” square pile 305,703 LF of 16” square pile These three sizes account for 208 miles of pile. Assembled Form ready for spinning A spiral steel reinforcing cage is fabricated for each section. A completed spiral cage. Steel rods are attached to the end rings. Special rubber hose cover the rods to form the 1 3/8” ok In 1965 Hurricane Betsy destroyed cylinder piles installed in 1950 in Gulf of Mexico in . This Photo was taken in 1968. Close-up of damaged pile shows that corrosion did not progress beyond concrete fracture line for both prestressing tendon and spiral. Assembled Form being placed into pile spinner. Form in Spinner An operator moves the Charger with concrete hopper and auger attached in and out of the slow spinning form depositing the “0” slump concrete. External Vibrators are utilized against the form while a roller compactor is used to screed toe pile to a uniform thickness against the end rings. * * Manufacture of Spun Cast Concrete Cylinder Piles by Don Theobald Vice President / Engineering Gulf Coast Pre-Stress, Inc Precast/Prestressed Concrete -- The Solution of Choice GCP Plant Facilities Welding Spiral Cage Completed Spiral Cage End Rings 54 i
