We are currently constructing some pile caps on site. 3,4 and 5 group caps varying between about 1.2 and 2m squared and between 500mm and 1500mm deep. The piles are in place and are being broken out to leave 800mm anchorage standing proud.

The problem is that because of time pressures the caps are now prefab and dropped in as this is a faster process. The challenge is, how do you bend the Anchorage once an entire cage has been places on top?

Does the Anchorage NEED to be bent? The 800mm Anchorage does actually stick out above the smaller pile caps as seen below.

Has anyone encountered this and seen a solution?
