Cook Corporation, founded in 1955, is one of the largest foundation contractors on the East Coast. Many foundation contractors, including COOK, can construct an ordinary foundation system; we specialize in installing extraordinary foundations systems.

COOK's capability to install the full range of shallow and deep foundation systems allows it to go beyond the industry standard, to find the truly cost efficient and quality based solution to any foundation problem.

Although COOK prides itself in its ability to successfully complete the "impossible" projects, its true strength is its ability to adapt the experiences gained on these challenging projects to the specific needs of its clients. To that end COOK provides expert design and quality engineering services during the project development and design phases. COOK's approach to construction is hands on, experienced based and cost effective. We prefer to team with our clients early on in the project development and design process, contributing our expertise to the process. We then carry the process through to final project completion, the construction of the foundation itself.

COOK's diverse experience allows it to explore all foundation options. Whether 13-foot diameter caissons to support a bridge in West Virginia, 2-inch diameter micro piles to support an elevator hoist way in Philadelphia, 48" diameter postholes for a retaining wall in the Bronx or 12" diameter Auger Cast Piles foundation for a hotel in Maryland, COOK is there. Whether the project involves a $5 million dollar caisson project or a $5 thousand dollar concrete restoration project, COOK is there. Whether the project is the Statue of Liberty or whether it is your corner retail store, COOK is there. COOK is there on schedule, on budget and ready to meet your needs.
