Shown in these pictures are the installation of auger cast piling. The picture shown on the left is the "Jitterbug" used to install piling in residential areas and tight quarters. The picture on the right is a standard auger cast rig. The Jitterbug (left) can install 18" piles up to 50 feet and the standard auger cast rig can drill piles up to 80 feet.

Foundation Systems

Throughout the Company's history, the core business has been the installation of foundation systems. The Company installs many different types of piling and currently the primary foundation installed is the auger cast pile. These foundations have supported many of the landmark buildings and structures in the South Florida landscape. Many hotels and condominiums on Miami Beach and Key Biscayne are anchored by Ebsary piling. The Alhambra and Columbus Center office buildings in Coral Gables, FL and the Courthouse Tower in downtown Miami, FL are notable examples. Other notable foundation projects include the piling for The Limited store at Dadeland Shopping Center in south Miami - Dade County, FL. The Company also installed a complex foundation for the Neiman Marcus store on Palm Beach. For more information on foundation systems, click here.

The left picture shows the structure to hoist the cable out of the water. The cable is then lifted onto the deck of the barge for repair.

Utility Services

 

The Company is located on the Miami River with easy access to Biscayne Bay and the intracoastal waterway. With this access, we are able to respond rapidly to an emergency underwater cable break. Ebsary has the floating equipment and the knowledge to solve the problem with a minimum of downtime. For more information on utility services, click here.

This is a typical marine construction project. Shown is a shoreline stablization project near the intracoastal waterway in Bay Harbor Islands, FL. The Company installed in excess of 1,000 feet of fabric material and completed the project on time and on budget.

Marine Construction

 

 

 

 

Since 1922, the Company has been constructing marine structures such as seawalls, marinas and bulkheads. In 1933, the Company built the original Pan American Airways bulkhead and seaplane ramp in Coconut Grove, FL (click here for picture). This ramp allowed Pan Am's Clipper ship airplanes to come out of the water for passenger loading and servicing of the aircraft in the hangar. Parts of this original Pan American facility is still in existence today. This commitment to quality is the same today as it was in 1933. The Company Miami was the hub for Pan Am's flight service to South America and the Caribbean. Ebsary Foundation Co.'s history parallels the events of South Florida Ebsary Foundation buoys and many other doing blah blah blah .........

In the early 1980's, the Company completed a contract on the Metrorail Rapid Transit system in Dade County Florida. At the switching stations, the Company installed steel girders and poured a concrete deck on the elevated girders. This contract is currently the largest contract completed by the Company.
