Abstract:
The invention is a sleeved, segmented support product for supporting a foundation, for example a building foundation. The product comprises support segments that can assemble together into a variable-length pile. The segments assemble together telescopically so that adjacent segments are held in coaxial relation and resist radial misalignment and other misalignments that can reduce a load-bearing capacity of the support product.
