All the items on this list are under the direct control of the design
engineer in terms of setting limitations on them and should be dealt
with as part of the design process. Limitations on frequency and size
of production pile driving equipment, dewatering levels, surface
stockpile loading levels, and admissibility of driving shoring piles
should be defined in the contract. Settlements from vibrations, even
with shoring piles, usually occur prior to excavation and have a different
ground loss dynamic than shoring movements. The cost increase
associated with restricting types of shoring and installation methods
