A method for assembling a pile comprising a disc member comprising an outer peripheral extent and an inner peripheral extent and a slot extending between the outer peripheral extent and the inner peripheral extent to form spaced-apart first and second ends, the method comprising the steps of:
- axially separating the first end and the second end of the disc member allowing the disc member to form a helical shape having a central cavity defined by the inner peripheral extent;
- providing an elongated member and positioning the elongated member longitudinally within the central cavity;
- engaging the inner peripheral extent of the disc member with the elongated member;
- fastening the disc member onto the elongated member;
- and
- inserting each of a plurality of protruding elements displaced radially along the inner peripheral extent into one of a plurality of holes displaced helically along an outer surface of the elongated member.
