About Simpson & Brown got its start when the Brown brothers brought their experience in waterfront construction to the U.S. from Liverpool, England, in 1671. By 1731 they had started a harborside construction business in Boston. The abundance of fine timber and coastline moorings lured them to the coast of Maine where they built and repaired roads, water lines and docks in addition to constructing buildings. In 1831 they moved to New York where Cornelius Vanderbilt was financing a construction boom. There, the company established a reputation for quality in the extremely competitive New York/New Jersey waterways construction business. The Brown’s family construction business built bridges, ferry slips, bulkheads, docks, piers and jetties from New York to Philadelphia. At the dawn of the 20th Century, Charles R. Simpson, a Princeton-educated engineer, joined the firm and became President. The company became known as Simpson & Brown, offering deep foundation, and marine & civil construction services, as it still exists today.

LINDEN MARINE BULKHEAD STABILIZATION Project Details: Project Owner: Linden Marine LLC Project Client: Linden Marine LLC Project Cost: $14,500,000.00 Project Duration: 11 months Project Challenges: A substantial amount of the demolition activities occurred in the tidal zone with the existing structure’s conditions largely unknown prior to starting work. The pipe pile combination wall design (Combi-wall) consists of large diameter pipe with a heavy wall that made the piles unusually heavy for this type of application. The interlock design was unforgiving and allowed for very little tolerance in terms of installation for straightness or plumbness. The rock scour protection had to be performed after pile driving and only during low tide cycles which made sequencing and production a challenge. Work Performed: Simpson and Brown was contracted to perform the demolition of all the existing waterside structures, process and re-use the concrete debris as fill, Install 1800 LF of 48” diameter x 60Ft Pipe pile combi-wall to create a new stabilized shoreline bulkhead along the Arthur Kill, this pipe pile bulkhead also required a large scour protection toe consisting of 3-4ft solid rock boulders that had to be installed after the pile driving was complete in the tidal zone. 540 LF of 60ft long sheet piles were installed along the Rahway River to complete the stabilization of the entire plot of land. The entire bulkhead has a welded cap to top it off. We also filled and graded the land behind the newly installed bulkhead to raise the grade of the site.
