German term or phrase: Betonrüttelsäule

"Versinken der Betonrüttelsäule durch negative Einflüsse der Wasserhaltung in der Baugrube..."

I think this is simply one of those terms one has to know, unfortunately I don't.
Thanks in advance for any help.

We have a large and diverse range of modern piling equipment to carry out many different types of piling and foundations techniques including sheet piling, secant piling, CFA piling, vibrated concrete columns, vibrated stone columns, vibrationless piling, silent piling, displacement piling, pile driving, wet soil mixing, dry soil mixing and mass soil stabilisation.

The ‘Vibroflo’ tube is accurately located over the column position. Concrete is then pumped through an internal tube. This fills the protective bottom chamber which is constructed to be the diameter of the Vibro Concrete Column (V.C.C) to be formed (normally 450mm).

Vibro Concrete Columns can be classified as cast-in-situ displacement piles. This type of pile has a high bearing capacity due to a high mantle friction and the enlarged base that can be installed when dry concrete is used.

Asker: Thank you - I always forget to check Leo - it wouldn't have been conclusive in this case, but it might have helped.
