The Weirdest Tool in Underwater Construction
Category: Science
Weirdest tool in underwater construction: bubbles. I tell how Caltrans found pile driving noise harming fish after the Loma Prieta Bay Bridge damage, and why hydroacoustics mattered. I even built a garage model to show a bubble curtain for pile driving mitigation that cuts underwater noise and prevents barotrauma.
