Presenting
Berkel & Company Contractors, Inc. specializes in deep foundations, providing a wide range of services to meet the needs of our clients. Our deep foundation services include auger pressure grouted piles, drilled displacement piles, limited access micropiles, energy piles, drilled shafts, driven piles, rock anchors, and tie-downs.
Auger pressure grouted piles are a type of deep foundation that is installed by drilling a hole in the ground and then filling it with grout. This type of pile is often used in areas where the soil is soft or unstable.
Drilled displacement piles are a type of deep foundation that is installed by drilling a hole in the ground and then displacing the soil with concrete. This type of pile is often used in areas where the soil is dense or rocky.
Limited access micropiles are a type of deep foundation that is installed in areas where there is limited access. These piles are typically smaller in diameter than other types of deep foundations and can be installed using specialized equipment.
Energy piles are a type of deep foundation that is used to support structures and also to provide energy storage. These piles are typically installed in areas where there is a need for both structural support and energy efficiency.
Drilled shafts are a type of deep foundation that is installed by drilling a hole in the ground and then filling it with concrete. This type of pile is often used in areas where the soil is soft or unstable.
Driven piles are a type of deep foundation that is installed by driving a pile into the ground using a hammer or other driving equipment. This type of pile is often used in areas where the soil is dense or rocky.
Rock anchors and tie-downs are a type of deep foundation that is used to stabilize slopes and other structures. These anchors are typically installed by drilling a hole in the ground and then attaching a steel cable or rod to the rock.
Sheeting and shoring are a type of deep foundation that is used to support excavations and other structures. This type of foundation is typically installed by driving or installing sheet piles or other types of shoring into the ground.
Sheet piles are a type of deep foundation that is used to support excavations and other structures. These piles are typically made of steel or concrete and are driven or installed into the ground.
Soldier pile (beam) and lagging is a type of deep foundation that is used to support excavations and other structures. This type of foundation is typically installed by driving or installing soldier piles into the ground and then attaching lagging to the piles.
Tie-backs are a type of deep foundation that is used to stabilize slopes and other structures. These anchors are typically installed by drilling a hole in the ground and then attaching a steel cable or rod to the rock.
Underpinning is a type of deep foundation that is used to strengthen existing foundations. This type of foundation is typically installed by excavating beneath the existing foundation and then installing new foundation elements.
Bracing is a type of deep foundation that is used to support excavations and other structures. This type of foundation is typically installed by installing bracing elements into the ground.
Secant and tangent walls are a type of deep foundation that is used to support excavations and other structures. This type of foundation is typically installed by drilling a series of holes in the ground and then filling the holes with concrete.
Soil nails are a type of deep foundation that is used to stabilize slopes and other structures. These nails are typically installed by drilling a hole in the ground and then inserting a steel rod or cable into the hole.
Ground improvement is a type of deep foundation that is used to improve the strength and stability of the ground. This type of foundation is typically installed by using a variety of techniques, such as compaction grouting, pressure grouting, and deep soil mixing.
Rigid inclusions are a type of deep foundation that is used to improve the strength and stability of the ground. This type of foundation is typically installed by inserting rigid elements, such as concrete columns or piles, into the ground.
Compaction grouting is a type of ground improvement technique that is used to increase the density of the soil. This technique involves injecting grout into the soil to displace the air and water, which increases the density of the soil.
Pressure grouting is a type of ground improvement technique that is used to fill voids and cracks in the soil. This technique involves injecting grout into the soil under pressure, which fills the voids and cracks and increases the strength of the soil.
Deep soil mixing is a type of ground improvement technique that is used to improve the strength and stability of the soil. This technique involves mixing the soil with a binding agent, such as cement or lime, to create a stronger and more stable soil mass.

“Joe…Brandon Pritchett, our Superintendent on the RSA Project…said that your crew did a great job on the project. They were easy to work with, finished ahead of schedule and followed all of the safety rules on the project. He never had to remind any of them to wear their PPE and they held their JSA meeting and safety meeting every morning before work. Please pass this along to them for a job well done. Thanks”
“It is my pleasure to write this letter of appreciation for Billy McBride & Gary Daffner and their team for their performance on the SCAD Indian Street Project in Savannah Georgia. The foremen and their team have proven to be a valuable addition for any company with their knowledge & know how of your industry. “TEAM WORK” at its best . The foremen and their team also displayed a high safety knowledge of the work force safety while on site at all times . The foremen and their team produced a high volume of work while maintaining high standards for workmanship and quality. The team also processes the ultimate “can do “ attitude while taking on all task asked of them with a positive attitude. The team worked hard with CLAYCO with coordinating and scheduling their portion of work on the project. The team took initiative to go beyond the expected parameters of the job and that’s why I feel they have the intangibles and are a great success in the work place. Billy & Gary’s work ethics and communication skills add value to wherever they work .The proof is how well their team has performed even when different foreman were in place . Professionalism is what both Billy & Gary expect from their team and it shows in their work as well as their team. Great job and Thanks .”
“Treagon – Your guys did a fantastic job on this project which truly made me smile. It went smoothly (at least from my perspective) from start to finish due to the hard work and positive attitude of both your team and mine. I look forward to working with you and your team in the future.”
“Vaughn – I wanted you to know that your crew at 1000 Park Ave. is doing an excellent job with not only their scope, but their attention to detail every day in regards to safety. Every morning Joey does an excellent job with leading the group in pre task planning, and the other team members take the necessary steps and precautions with the specific tasks. This is a great way to start a project and we rewarded the Berkel crew members with lunch today.”
“Joe – good group of people, very impressive. I was most impressed with the fact that with all the mud and wet working conditions Berkel had a excellent safety record. Your PM Chris Chinopulos is a talented young man, but don’t share that I wouldn’t want to give him a big head.”
“Chris and Joe – I would like to say thank you to you and your team on doing a great job the last couple of months. We know it was not always easy to work around but we made it work at least due to your flexibility you provided over the entire time. I would like to wish you good luck and a great success on your next job.”
“I have been with SkanskaUSA for over 32 years and the shoring team on this project has hands down been the best I’ve ever been associated with. It is leaders like Berkel Superintendent Pablo Echeverria that make SkanskaUSA jobs successful and a pleasure to build.”
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your company for a job well done. As you know, stringent time constraints were placed on Berkel’s portion of this project. I’m pleased to say you not only met these constraints, but far exceeded my expectations. Your on-site personnel’s performance resulted in what was probably the smoothest pile installation of my career.”
“The final ratings issued by the Navy on the Joint Strike Project received the highest possible overall rating of “Outstanding”. This is a great accomplishment and the Berkel Team contributed greatly.”
