Abstract:
1. A method of constructing a concrete column and wall fence system, comprising the steps of: (a) auguring a vertical pile hole; (b) excavating an at least partially ground level recess for a pile cap above and about said pile hole; (c) placing vertical rebars into said vertical pile hole and pile cap recess; (d) pouring concrete in situ into said pile hole and pile cap recess to thereby form a lower part of said column and said pile cap; (e) positioning a pile cap plate on said poured concrete pile cap of step (d) prior to the curing thereof; (f) positioning opposing vertical edges of pre-cast concrete panels upon opposite sides of said pile cap plate; (g) using vertical forms to define in horizontal cross-section about said opposing edges of said panels, a substantially H-shaped geometry having vertical rebars therein, said panel ends having horizontal re-bars extending into said geometry, thus horizontally and vertically positioning re-bars within an entirely above-ground length of said geometry; and (h) casting columns in situ, within said H-shaped geometry, volumes defined by said forms, thereby forming an upper part of said concrete column usable in a wall fence system in which casted columns are integral and rigid relative to said panels by reason of said geometry of each column.
