Abstract
Conventional dynamic piling methods are ill-suited to the urban environment. The press-in method offers an alternative technique of pile installation, which allows pre-formed piles to be installed with minimal noise and vibration. Field measurements of noise and ground vibrations during press-in piling are presented and compared to existing recommended limits. Based on this initial database, tentative prediction curves are presented. Equipped with these tools, designers can assess the relative environmental impact of each installation method when planning piling works.
