Who doesn’t love to play in the dirt? When your idea of “play” is placing foundations to hold the worlds’ heaviest bridges and buildings, that’s a very high stakes question, indeed.
Those are the stakes that Malcolm Drilling is known for. The San Francisco firm is on the leading edge of equipment, processes, and systems for deep foundation drilling and additional technologies, leading the industry in quality, safety, and innovation.
Since its founding in 1962, Malcolm Drilling has evolved from working with a single truck-mounted drilling rig to owning a $400 million fleet of rigs that span the scope of earth retention and foundation work, from excavating narrow spaces to drilling holes up to 18 feet in diameter and over 300 feet deep.
“We are blessed to have an owner that loves to dabble with new technologies, and these technologies in many cases are designed to be better for the environment, better for the public, while still keeping schedule requirements on a project in mind. As a result of the technologies and techniques that we have to enable projects to be completed faster, which is also beneficial,” reported company president Al Rasband.
Company founder John Malcolm made it his mission early on to find and design the most game-changing equipment in the industry, studying European and Asian advancements in the field and incorporating them into an impressive array of technologies. From rotators, oscillators, and top drive drill rigs to jet grouting, deep soil mixing, and Omega displacement pile rigs, Malcolm Drilling has it all.
Said Rasband, “Our fleet of equipment is the most modern and significant in size of any contractor in the United States. We have the ability to throw muscle on any project that’s required.”
