What better way to pass a hot summer’s afternoon than watching men at work on the New Hut! This is what I learned about the craft of pile-driving, the stages are:
- A 1m screw is attached to the machine, cage door closed
- Screw lowered, displaced clay shovelled away
- Repeat above steps until a total of 12 screws have been used
- Reverse the motor to raise the screws one at a time taking care not to allow those remaining to fall back down the hole
We counted them in, and we counted them out 
Finished hole 
Hole + readymix + steel = finished pile Now see the action for yourself:
