Abstract
A concrete well casing comprising a cylindrical reinforcing mesh wire having inner and outer sides and upper and lower ends. The wire mesh is comprised of a plurality of substantially horizontally disposed and vertically spaced-apart ring-shaped members which are operatively interconnected by vertical rods secured thereto. A plurality of cable hooks are operatively secured to the wire mesh and extend outwardly therefrom. The wire mesh is embedded in concrete to form the casing. Each of the cable hooks has an arcuate outer end portion which is normally substantially flush with the exterior surface of the casing but which may be deflected outwardly therefrom for attachment to a casing positioning cable.
