May 2009: J-Track Makes History
In May 2009 J-Track made history by becoming the first of the Judlau Companies to work outside of New York State. The company has entered the New Jersey market, and also started a new drilling division, which includes caisson and rock drilling, mini, helical, low headroom and auger cast pile installation. J-Track has added a Mait HR 130, 55 feet mast drill rig to their fleet. In New Jersey, J-Track has started work drilling 5 to 8 foot diameter holes for a cell phone tower, and commenced work on new bridges over Route 1 and Route 3. (See photo).
According to J-Track’s President, Mitch Levine, “The drilling and pile business is a niche market, which we believe offers tremendous potential and opportunity.” J-Track is realizing its vision of strategically expanding in new markets in the North East.
