Barrett and Hilp

The company played a large part in the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge.

[1][2][3] Barrett and Hilp constructed the anchorage, piers, and lower span of the Golden Gate Bridge.

[6][7] In 1931, the firm constructed the San Francisco Baseball Club's Seals Stadium.

[6] One such barge, B7-D1, saw life after the war shipping limestone from Alaska to L.A. as part of the city's booming concrete industry.

[9] The right's to the barge's scrap was contentious as two employees of the shipping company claimed compensation due to personal injuries, meanwhile the Alaska Aggregate Corporation, who had purchased the barge from Foss Launch & Tug Co., sought to scrap the ship, resulting in a decade long court case, John A. Scudero v. Todd Shipyards Corporation which eventually reached the U.S. Supreme Court which found that the company which was sued, Todd Shipyards, was not liable to be sued since the employees where subcontractors for Barrett and Hilp.
