Different Method to be Proposed
Engineers are working with the construction contractor to propose and evaluate the best method to install the deep piles. A key goal of this project is to improve the pump station’s resiliency to earthquake damage. Deep supports or “piles” driven into the deep gravels are the most effective way to provide this earthquake resiliency. This is the method that the City of Portland has proposed, but the contractor will be proposing a less invasive method of installing the piles.
