How long does a pile driving construction project take?

I just moved to a new city, and right after moving, a construction project started right next to my apartment. It’s so loud! Right now, they are in the pile driving process. When can I expect the pile driving to be done?

Congratulations on your recent move! We are sorry to hear your excitement is being dampened by noisy construction. Hopefully, we can give you some peace of mind on this issue.
We recommend simply locating a construction crew member and asking them for an estimated timeline. Crew members will have a better sense of the specifics of the project right by your apartment.
Pile driving is an important part of the construction process for building a new structure. It involves digging large structures made of various materials (like concrete or metal) into soft dirt to strengthen a structure. Pile driving is most often used for bridges.
Usually, pile driving takes at least a couple of weeks. It’s an involved process, and if the construction crew is working a typical eight to ten-hour day, two weeks is a pretty prompt timeline.
But, some pile driving projects can take longer—sometimes up to a few months. If the crew encounters problematic conditions—like piles that won’t hit bedrock—the project can take longer than expected. Projects will also take longer for larger structures.
Again, we’re so sorry that construction noise is adding stress to your life.
