Entiat River - Pile testing day 1

Well construction season is fast approaching with the summer schedule quickly filling up. As as designer, I'm always looking for ways to improve the construction process and when I got an opportunity to test some new construction equipment I jumped at the opportunity.

Short story is a CAT 330 with a vibratory pile driver unit can drive a heck of a pile. We had easy drive tests all the way to 25ft. Big thanks to John Willey, Cascadia Conservation District, and the Bureau of Reclamation for helping to make this happen!
