The “rapid-load” pile test scheduled at Terminal 5 this afternoon has been rescheduled to tomorrow (Tuesday, March 15th), according to Port of Seattle spokesperson Peter McGraw:
In response to concerns we’ve heard, we are postponing today’s test.
One of the reasons for the last test being more noticeable may have been its location at the south end of Terminal 5. When we reschedule, it will use less fuel than the last test, with the amount of fuel being the same as what was used in previous tests. We will also use noise and vibration monitoring devices in the vicinity of 37th & Prescott.
The tests will take place tomorrow and Thursday, both at noon. These will be the last of the rapid load tests.
A video made public by the port last week shows, close-up, what these tests look and sound like.
