We have done 24" Auger Cast Grout piles. The piles have a center bar and a cage bar. The piles were over poured by 3 feet (as designed). During chipping the extra 3-feet we found a void around the center bar at the bottom of the extra grout.
The contractor said this is typical. They claimed that the center bar draws water which causes the void.
Has anyone seen this before? and is it really that common?
