The steel culvert in itself constitute a rather massive ground stake. The 
concrete is conductive so, yes, you can say you have a Ufer ground. With that 
very wet (high water table) land I can only assume you have a good ground.

I have a proposal from a contractor to pour the concrete into  a piece of 48" 
diameter x 12' long piece of steel culvert capped on the bottom end with a 
plywood disc. Very high ground water is the reason.

Will this constitute a Ufer ground?
