Burke Construction Inc.’s first pile driving project was no easy task. The job at hand for this heavy civil contractor was to install a steel seawall in Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey, but this was no straight line of sheet piles in the middle of the beach. Burke’s task was to frame the border of well-known Jenkinson’s Boardwalk.
Successful completion of the project would require the contractor to take on its first pile driving project, and to learn and achieve adequate production with the RTG RG 19 T — one of the most sophisticated piling rigs in the world. Working around the inside and outside corners of the nearby boardwalk would only intensify the learning curve.
