Core Commercial Services

At SJ Hauck Construction, we manage the critical high-risk phases that define a project’s structural viability. We specialize in neutralizing complex forces—compression, tension, and lateral loads—through engineered systems that secure the site before and during vertical construction.

Our approach is defined by a deep-rooted understanding of how buildings behave under pressure, forged from our history of lifting and relocating thousands of structures. This unique focus positioned us as the choice for structural moving and has allowed us to expand further into shoring, deep foundations, and support of excavation and demolition in the commercial and industrial sectors, with a level of surgical precision and load-path certainty that general contractors and site-work firms cannot match.

We don’t just clear the way; we provide the engineered stability that allows the rest of the project to move forward safely and on schedule.

Commercial Demolition

Controlled, strategic demolition built for complex commercial, industrial, and selective interior sites. We emphasize safety and precision in every teardown, handling both primary commercial structures and secondary residential projects.

Deep Foundation Piling

When surface soils cannot support design requirements, we provide engineered deep foundation systems to ensure long-term structural integrity. Our capabilities include:

  • Helical Piles: Ideal for sites with limited access or vibration sensitivities, rapid installation for light-to-medium commercial loads with minimal site disturbance.
  • Timber Piles: A cost-effective, time-tested solution for permanent friction-based support in consistent, cohesive soils.
  • Concrete Piles: Preferred for high-durability requirements and corrosive environments, providing immense compressive strength for massive, long-term structural loads.
  • Steel Piles: Best suited for high-capacity loads and deep penetration, offering high structural strength and the ability to be driven into dense soil or rock

We utilize end-bearing and side-friction techniques to stabilize heavy loads in challenging geotechnical conditions.

We prioritize precision through rigorous subsurface investigation and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)—including Pile Dynamics Analysis (PDA)—to verify bearing capacity and pile integrity. From high-seismic zones to sites with high groundwater, our piling solutions provide the stabilized foundation necessary for complex commercial builds.

We provide complex structural support systems for active construction environments, including earth/ground shoring and structural shoring. Our engineered solutions ensure stability for even the most precarious excavations.

SJ Hauck Construction provides comprehensive Support of Excavation (SOE) systems engineered to retain earth and maintain the integrity of open cuts. We create a secure, controlled environment by holding back the surrounding soil and pressure. This critical structural support protects neighboring foundations, utilities, and right-of-ways, providing the necessary clearance and safety to construct permanent foundations below grade.

Our SOE capabilities are tailored to the specific geotechnical profiles of the Northeast, utilizing:

  • Soldier Piles & Lagging: A versatile and cost-effective solution for maintaining vertical cuts in a variety of soil conditions.
  • Sheet Piling: Ideal for high-groundwater environments, providing both structural earth retention and a reliable water cutoff.
  • Secant & Tangent Walls: High-stiffness systems used when working in extreme proximity to sensitive existing structures where vibration and movement must be near zero.
  • Internal Bracing & Tie-Backs: Engineered lateral support to manage massive earth pressures in deep, multi-level urban excavations.

By integrating our SOE services with our deep foundation and demolition expertise, we eliminate the friction between separate trades. We ensure that the transition from bulk excavation to pile installation is seamless, safe, and surgically precise.

SJ Hauck Construction: From Load Stabilization to Structural Authority

Founded in the wake of Superstorm Sandy, SJ Hauck Construction has evolved in a way that unifies our expertise and approach, growing from a specialized firm into a premier commercial contractor by supporting the community. Today, we serve developers, general contractors, owners, and engineers across the Northeast, specializing in the critical “below-ground and structural” phases of construction. Early and clear information sharing—such as soil conditions, project risks, and load requirements—with owners and stakeholders is central to our collaborative process.

We are not generalists; we are specialists. Our process is designed to identify project requirements and risks early on, ensuring project success through proactive collaboration and communication. Our commitment to quality and safety is driven by our understanding of how structures respond under pressure, and we recognize that effective time management is essential for delivering successful projects. Whether it is a hospital, a school, an industrial facility, or a historic home, we ensure the integrity of the site from the first pile to the final demolition phase. When selecting deep foundation contractors, it is critical to review clear, detailed proposals—including pile types, depths, and load requirements—and to verify proper licensing and safety records.

Foundation & Structural Restoration

Anchor Point Structural Solutions (APSS) is a dedicated foundation and structural restoration company owned and operated by SJ Hauck Construction. We leveraged the heavy-lifting heritage of our parent company to provide the same value engineering and load-path expertise utilized on major commercial and industrial sites.

We specialize in identifying and correcting the root causes of structural failure in residential homes and smaller scale commercial buildings, moving beyond “quick fixes” to provide permanent, warranted stabilization.
