Pacific Pile and Marine employees plumb one of
the 240-foo t, 24-inch pilings at the Don Statter
MemOIial Boat Harbor in Auke Bay on Friday.
Fifteen pilings of that length will be driven into
the mud with a vibratory hammer until they hit
bedrock then a drill will be placed inside the
pile and the dlill Iig connected at the top. A 20'
deep socket will be drilled out the bottom of the
pile, and then the pile can be permanently
driven into the socket. These are the longest
piles Pacific Pile and Mali ne has dlilled and
driven with this technique.
