We plan to drive steel sheet piling in ballast subsoil within 10 ft of an occupied buiding. The owner is insisting we do not exceed a PPV of 2 mm/sec. Is this possible to achieve using a resonance free vibratory pile driver and is there research evidence available ?
Very grateful for advice - our project is on hold while we satisfy this demand.

David,
It is not a problem at all to keep the PVV even below the 1 mm/sec. Especially light weight sheetpiles will drastically reduce the vibration generated.
It is the combination of a stiff sheetpile, not centric connected to a not balanced vibratory hammer which cause the problems.
In case we could be still of help let us know.
