Permanent Bulkhead Wall Project Using Giken ECO 1400S Silent Piler for Emergency Scour Protection in Lantana, Florida

The Press-In System (using Giken ECO1400 S Silent Piler) was used to install a new permanent bulkhead wall for an emergency seawall in Lantana, Florida. Murray Logan and Blue Iron teamed up to install the emergency seawall for the City of Lantana. The dunes had been eroded such it threatened the existing city facilitates located on the beach. The slope created from the scour posed significant concerns if conventional Vibratory equipment was used. The steel sheet pile wall was completed without damage to any existing structures and in very close proximity to the Ritz-Carleton, without complaint.
