Herrera Scientist Contributes to Emerging Noise Attenuation Technology for Pile Driving

By bitsadmin

Washington State Department of Transportation, University of Washington Department of Mechanical Engineering, and Marine Construction Technologies, the Seattle start-up where Herrera’s Associate Scientist Julie Hampden has been working part-time, recently released a report on the full-scale testing of a new quiet pile technology in Puget Sound. The report examines the underwater noise attenuation provided by the innovative double-walled piles during impact pile driving and compares the drivability of these piles with a standard control pile.

The full report is available on the WSDOT Research website.
