About two-thirds of a 57-km-long “fence” of sheet piling has already been driven to encircle polluted industrial sites in Porto Marghera that flow into a 550-sq-kilometer lagoon. [Source: ENR: Engineering News Record. Image: Peter Reina, ENR]
Impact pile driving of steel piles in aquatic environments produces extremely high underwater sound levels. To address this problem, a double-walled pile has been developed to decrease the total noise transmitted into the water and […]
Well-known pile hammer manufacturer APE has purchased technology for driving and coupling large diameter helical piles that could help make this technology more mainstream. Rather than pounding the pile into the ground, the steel drill […]
From the report summary: Although exploratory borings and engineering studies during design are an integral part of foundation engineering, the axial resistance of a driven pile foundation is ultimately determined by the criteria used to […]
