Jetted conductors ‐ review
+ Very mature method+ Very long conductors address capacity uncertainty
– Reduced soil cohesion– Reconsolidation time varies– Susceptible to shallow flow (Ursa)– Long rig‐time hold – costly– Settles if hold period is too short– Imprecise AS‐BUILT well coordinates
ADVANTAGES / CHALLENGESADVANTAGES / CHALLENGES

Driven conductors ‐ review
+ Mature driving technology (pre‐1900)+ Batch‐set cost benefits+ Affordable installation vessels+ Precise control of final position+ Short installation time+ Use shorter conductor for same soils– Experienced installers are few– Specialized equipment (Hammer, STS, shuttle system)
