Linde-Griffith Construction Company may be 111 years old, but the contractor is far from set in its ways. This is why the owner and engineer of a multi-story condo project in Hackensack, New Jersey, called on them when its original contractor was unable to reach bearing capacity on a test pile program. The end result was a cost-saving switch to full displacement piles (FDP) using a Bauer BG 36 H drilling rig and custom tooling.
Linde-Griffith — founded in 1909 — was primarily a pile-driving contractor until about 20 years ago, when it expanded into foundation drilling.
