USACE – LPV148.02 Floodwall Project Using Giken ECO 1400S Silent Piler for Permanent Steel Sheet Pile Cutoff Wall (T-Wall) in St. Bernard Parish (New Orleans), Louisiana

The Press-In System (using Giken ECO1400 S Silent Piler) was used to install a permanent steel sheet pile cutoff wall (t-wall) in St. Bernard Parish (New Orleans), Louisiana. Blue Iron Foundations and Shorings were awarded the sheeting for sections 6 and 8 of the LPV148.02 Floodwall project. The overall project is an 8-mile floodwall founded on steel H piles with a steel sheet pile cutoff wall. The small compact footprint of the leader mast was tracked on top of the levee while other systems required a large support crane. Blue Iron was able to double the production from the other piling contractors on site.

Sheet Piling Borehole Data

Borehole data are direct measurements of temperature from boreholes drilled into the Earth’s crust. In Louisiana, you have multiple layers of sand located beneath the Ocean. Every geological area has different Borehole data so it’s important to hire a Giken Silent Piler Permanent Steel Sheet Pile Cutoff Wall (T-Wall) contractor that has the experience you can depend on to understand the earth’s surface. For this ECO1400 S Silent Piler Permanent Steel Sheet Pile Cutoff Wall (T-Wall) project, we piled through 2 layers of the seafloor: Soft and Firm Clay and Sand. We piled Nucor PZ23.6 sheets into the ocean floor at L=41ft. Blue Iron, LLC has the Giken Silent Piler experience you can depend on to finish the job at hand. Whether you are in the Gulf Coast of Louisiana or in the heart of Central Louisiana, Blue Iron, LLC can help.
