Berkel & Company Contractors, Inc.

Berkel & Company Contractors, Inc. is a deep foundation and ground improvement contractor at 8243 Baltimore Annapolis Boulevard in Pasadena, Maryland. Its website calls it a 100 percent employee-owned ESOP company, and directory data lists a founding year of 1959.

The site lists auger pressure grouted piles, drilled displacement or screw piles, ACIP and CFA piles, micropiles, energy piles, drilled shafts, driven piles, rock anchors, sheeting and shoring, underpinning, soil nails and ground improvement methods such as compaction grouting and deep soil mixing. Projects shown include a stadium, a chemical plant and an airport tunnel extension, and the company exhibits at industry conferences such as DFI.

Berkel works mainly on large commercial and infrastructure projects; call +1 410-439-9101. The pile type listed as drilled displacement or screw piles is a drilled system, not the helical piles typical for homes, and helical piles are not named on the pages reviewed. Ask what pile system suits your project, who designs it, and what testing is required.
