I have a few piers and a slab. The pier was about 800mm deep and around 800mm square with a 100mm flange at the top. I filled it with a lot of steel reo bars and concreted it.
I then got a very heavy steel pier from Pegasus and its bolted to the pier with a series of anchor bolts. I packed underneath the pier with cement.
Its very stable.
Some have bolts set into the concrete but in my case the pier came later so I used anchor bolts. Big ones.
At my remote site I simply dug a hole about 600mm deep a bit bigger than the 8 inch diameter steel tube then filled around and in it with rapid set concrete. Worked like a charm.

Best ways of fixing the pier to the foundation?
Minimum dimension of the hole in the ground?
Re-enforce the concrete?
Thanks
