When Bob Anttonen and Bob Branston of Simpson & Brown, Cranford, NJ needed to drive 71″ diameter, 2″ wall, 105′ long caissons for IMTT, they called APE Northeast. APE supplied a model 600 Vibro, affectionately dubbed “Super Kong”, with the patented Quad Beam clamping system which grabs the caisson at 90 degree intervals. The configuration successfully drove all 4 cans for this phase of the job in 1 day.
The second phase involved driving 2 84″ diameter 1.5″ wall 110′ long caissons over existing 72″ caissons.
Simpson & Brown traces its roots back to 1671 when the Brown brothers came over from Liverpool. Years of experience make Simpson & Brown one of the most respected pile driving contractors around.
