Measurements of Pile Driving Noise from Control Piles and Noise-Reduced Piles at the Vashon Island Ferry Dock
The Washington State Department of Transportation has released a report that examines underwater sound measurements at the Vashon Island ferry dock as part of the pile attenuation test program. The research measures the underwater sound field over nearly the entire water column and away from interfering structures, and makes robust estimates of sound mitigation performance of two test pile designs in terms of sound exposure level and peak pressure.
