Micropile Building Foundations

Allentown, Pennsylvania

JG designed and installed 114 micropiles to support a new office building at the Waterfront Development in Allentown, Pennsylvania.  The piles were designed for 300 kips in compression and averaged approximately 70 feet deep.  Micropiles were required for foundation support for this project due to the existing fill materials at the site, along with the karst topography underlying the fill.  JG also performed a micropile load test with a 600 kip maximum test load.

What Our Clients Say

Hear directly from those who’ve experienced the JG difference firsthand.

“If you’re in search of a deep foundations contractor who delivers results on time and within budget you’ve come to the right place. Our 29 acre development recently completed its first Class A Office Building with JG as our foundations partner. While our schedule had us installing Micropiles through the winter months, JG’s field crew didn’t miss a beat and actually finished their installation ahead of schedule. From the bid phase through award and finishing with the completion of their Scope of Work the entire JG organization was a pleasure to work with. A trusted partner and true professionals who do what they say and do it right. Will certainly be working together on future buildings and developments”.

“JG assembled a clearly professional, experienced, competent, no-nonsense 5-man crew to Roaches Corner to swap out the Rx/TTA coax lines. 3 climbers on the tower and 2 ground crew, and they all function as a team even with everyone having a specific task they’re focused on/working on. Honestly, I have to say it’s refreshing and encouraging to see a tower crew that instills confidence right out of the gate. Your competition could learn a thing or two from this tower crew.”

“I can’t say enough about the company you have built. You and your teams are above the rest.”

“The JG crew was fantastic and was spot on as far as getting things accomplished in what turned out to be a very long and challenging day. I was thoroughly impressed with your crew and the work that was accomplished. I thanked each one of them personally but I also wanted their management to know what was happening in the field.”
