If you’re in the Terminal 5 area – take note that the Port of Seattle has two more “rapid-load testing of piles” set for this week, as part of the design/permit process for the Terminal 5 Modernization Project. They’re both scheduled around noon, one tomorrow (Tuesday, March 8th), one on Thursday (March 10th). Port spokesperson Peter McGraw says it “will sound like a half-second cannon shot,” which one reader verified after a recent test (of which we didn’t get advance notice). If you have a question or complaint, here’s the address you can use: Terminal5_Outreach@portseattle.org – McGraw says the test results “may help reduce the number of piles required and the depth of pile installation, which in-turn would reduce noise associated with pile-driving during construction.”
