I am recently constructing a building in swampy area that required piling. And the piling Engineer has done the piling but requested that the PHC pile- will be filled with concrete for all the 15m. I dont see this as being cost effective. Pls advise.

It is quite okay to fill the pile with concrete and i quite agree with BigH. The design basis will determine the tpe of pile but i am surre that the stel is more for the protection of the concrete. Find out from the contractor what his design calculation procedures.
I work regularly on swampy areas in southern Nigeria.
