Abstract:Research in this report presents the first study documented in literature to characterize
the surface disturbance and associated ecological impact due to pile jetting process. The enclosed
work describes development of phenomenological pile jetting model in various soil profiles
through implementation of a laboratory experimental program, field testing program, and
comprehensive data analyses. The physical phenomenon of jetting was observed in the
laboratory and a model for computing disturbance created by jetted-pile installations was
developed. Four test sites were chosen in different geographical locations in Eastern North
Carolina to perform a total of 26 jetted pile installations. Ecological impacts of jetting on marine
environment and tidal marches are discussed and presented.
