The pile, which can be fitted with corrosion protection, often in the form of a synthetic corrugated tube filled with cement grout, can then be inserted in the casing. The pile head can be attached by means of an anchor plate and nut, once the grout envelope has set sufficiently. Thereafter, the pile can be loaded with the construction.</del></div></td><td colspan="2"> </td></tr>
