Deep Foundation & Pile Driving
Our Services
The foundation everything else is built on.
RJ Gorman Contracting installs driven concrete foundation piles for residential and commercial construction throughout the Southeast. When a structure needs to go deeper to find solid bearing, which in much of the region is almost always, Gorman’s crews deliver the deep foundations the whole structure depends on. We work with homebuilders, commercial developers, and general contractors who need a foundation contractor that shows up, drives straight, and meets the engineer’s specs.
Capabilities
Residential Pile Driving: Installation of driven concrete piles for single-family and multi-family construction, per the structural engineer’s design and specification.
Commercial Pile Driving: Foundation pile installation for commercial buildings, including larger-diameter and higher-capacity systems for heavier structural loads.
Deep Foundation & Pile Driving
The Gorman Approach
- Review: Study engineer-specified pile layouts, bearing capacity requirements, and site conditions before mobilization. No surprises in the field.
- Set Up: Position equipment precisely and verify site readiness before driving begins.
- Drive: Install piles to engineer-specified tip elevation and bearing capacity, with field documentation throughout.
- Report: Provide driving logs and field data to the engineer of record for review and approval at completion.

Key Considerations & Expertise
Across much of the Southeast, soil conditions make pile driving for most permanent structures a necessity, not an option. Gorman’s crews bring precision and consistency to every job: driving to spec, not just to depth. Our experience across residential and commercial projects means we understand both the pace of production homebuilding and the precision of commercial structural foundations.

Equipment & Resources
Gorman operates its own pile driving equipment, including vibratory and diesel hammers capable of installing precast concrete piles across a wide range of residential and commercial foundation applications.
Safety & Compliance
Pile driving is high-energy work that demands strict adherence to safety standards. Gorman’s crews maintain a strong, documented safety record, control the work zone around every rig, and operate in compliance with OSHA and applicable state construction safety requirements on every project.
