city noise

[liveonearth]

There's this pounding clanging noise that I can hear from my apt in SE Portland. It's industrial in nature.....and to the northwest from here..... This morning I walked toward it and got close....but then the noise stopped. Now it has started up again. It remains a mystery.

What is piling?

Piling is a Civil Engineering process which involves a heavy pounding mechanism to penetrate the earth in order to lay some kind of (Concrete) foundation.
