Test Pile Program 
Lower costs: 
Estimated net savings of $5M to $7M 
Additional geotechnical information may
result in shorter and fewer structural piles 
Reduced Risk 
Shorter piles reduces breakage 
Reduced noise in residential areas 
Fewer piles improves habitat and fisheries 
Test pile program offers significant benefits to project
