Abstract: A first part of a joint for joining pre-cast driven geothermal pile segments comprises a cap having an end plate and a peripheral wall extending from a periphery of the end plate, the end plate and peripheral wall defining a volume; and at least two apertures passing through the cap, wherein each aperture provides a passage from an inside of the cap to an outside of the cap; and wherein each aperture is provided within a recess in the peripheral wall such that each aperture is thereby recessed within the volume defined by the end plate and the peripheral wall. The apertures being recessed ensures that they, and any fluid connection made thereat, are shielded from any damage and the harsh forces involved in the installation of the driven pile segments.
