Claims
- 1. An anti-jacking pile system comprising;
a) a pile of sufficient length to extend from a predetermined point above ground to a location below ground such that a building can be supported by said pile; b) said pile having an outside surface and including a layer of bond breaking material surrounding a portion of said outside surface of said pile and preventing soil surrounding said pile from contacting said portion; c) a collar located on said pile adjacent to said bond breaking material and extending below said bond breaking material, said collar being of greater thickness than said bond breaking material, d) whereby, said pile may be driven into the ground with said bond breaking attached thereto without damaging said bond breaker.
- 2. The system as set forth in claim 1, wherein;
a) said bond breaking material is Permalon.
- 3. The system as set forth in claim 1, wherein;
a) said collar is clamped onto said bond breaker.
- 4. The system as set forth in claim 1, wherein;
a) said collar is welded to said pile.
- 5. The system as set forth in claim 1, wherein;
a) said pile system supports a building located above said pile system.
- 6. The system as set forth in claim 1, wherein;
a) said pile system is joined to said building using an adjustable leveling system.
- 7. The system as set forth in claim 6, wherein;
a) said adjustable leveling system includes a steel plate joined to said pile for providing an adjustable base for connecting said pile system to said adjustable leveling system.
- 8. A method of installing an anti-jacking pile system, comprising the steps of;
a) wrapping a section of outer surface of a pile with a bond breaking material, said section having an upper end and a lower end; b) attaching a collar at location adjacent said bond breaking material at said lower end of said section and further attaching said collar directly to said outer surface of a pile; c) driving said pile into soil a sufficient depth to act as a support for a building.
- 9. The method as set forth in claim 8, further including the step of;
a) applying a coating of lubricant to said pile prior to wrapping said section with said bond breaking material.
- 10. The method as set forth in claim 8, wherein the step of attaching a collar further includes;
a) welding a lower portion of said collar to said outer surface of said pile to prevent said collar from moving upward as said pile is driven.
- 11. The method as set forth in claim 8, wherein the step of attaching a collar further includes;
a) placing said collar around a portion of the lower end of said bond breaking material to hold said bond breaking material in place during driving of said pile.
- 12. An anti-jacking pile comprising;
a) a steel pipe of sufficient length to extend from a predetermined point above ground to a location below ground such that a building can be supported by said pipe; b) said pipe having an outside surface and including a layer of bond breaking material surrounding a portion of said outside surface of said pipe and preventing soil surrounding said pile from contacting said portion; c) a collar located on said pipe adjacent to said bond breaking material and extending below said bond breaking material, said collar being of greater thickness than said bond breaking material, d) whereby, said pipe may be driven into the ground with said bond breaking material attached thereto without damaging said bond breaking material.
- 13. The pile as set forth in claim 12, wherein;
a) said bond breaking material is Permalon.
- 14. The pile as set forth in claim 12, wherein;
a) said collar is clamped onto said bond breaker.
- 15. The pile as set forth in claim 12, wherein;
a) said collar is welded to said pile.
