From very humble beginnings, Malcolm
Drilling Co., San Francisco, has experienced growth over the past five decades
to its present position as a preeminent specialty foundation contractor in the
world.
Malcolm Drilling began with a single truck-mounted drill rig
performing small projects. This early business was successful, and continued to
grow with further purchases of equipment, and with the addition of a cadre of
operators and laborers that found steady work with Malcolm Drilling. Hard work
and the delivery of a quality, on-time product were the keys to the steady
growth of this company.
Today, Malcolm has a $180 million equipment fleet that includes
limited-access rigs that can walk through a factory door or climb a slope, and
large drill rigs capable of drilling holes up to 18 feet in diameter and up to
300 feet deep. In addition to the more standard drill rigs, Malcolm Drilling
also has expanded its fleet to include jet-grouting, deep-soil-mixing, and
Omega-displacement pile rigs.
Malcolm Drilling also has expanded into the Pacific
and South America with Malcolm Drilling
Pacific and Malcolm Drilling International.
Happy 50th to Malcolm
