Proposal by mcgill Civil Engineering Students, Christopher Ong Tone, Nathan Ramsey, and, Robert Wolofsky to solve the Oak Island mystery and find any buried treasure on Oak Island, Nova Scotia. Presented on June 20th, 2009 at Explore Oak Island Days in Oak Island, Nova Scotia.
This solution will be very expensive. It does not recognize an important non-requirement- that the barrier wall (to water ingress) does not have to be for the long term which is what piles are intended for (usually). Secondly, when the piles intersect the flood tunnels (two) the resistance will go away up and possibly be insurmountable because the tunnels are filled with beach stones. A better variation of this idea, which was proposed about 80 years ago, is to drill a ring of holes down to bedrock. Then fill each hole with water plus a chilling circuit that would freeze the water to ice. It would also freeze water in between the holes below water table which is sea level because of the flood tunnels.
