The press-in meth- od offers an alternative technique of pile installation, which allows pre-formed piles to be installed with minimal noise and vibration. Field measurements of noise and ground vibrations during press-in piling are presented and com- pared to existing recommended limits. Based on this initial database, tentative prediction curves are presented. Equipped with these tools, designers can assess the relative environmental impact of eac- h installation method when planning piling works. Introduction Pile driving is an activity that is ill-suited to the urban environment. The noise and ground vibrat- ions created during the installation of pre-formed piles by dynamic methods can lead to human dist- urbance and structural damage. Stringent regulations now virtually preclude the installation of steel tubular piles by dynamic methods in urban Europe, and bored cast-in-place piles have become the most common design solution. Steel tubular piles offer a number of advantages over bored piles, particularly relating to issues of sustainability (Table 1). The embodied energy of a pile is the sum of the energy required to extract the raw materials, carry out any manufacturing or construction processes, and transport the material between and within these processes. A steel pile contains less embodied energy than a concrete pile o
