Concrete caissons that are "rock socketed" i.e. the base is drilled about 3-feet into the bedrock and anchored in place.
Settlement is not an option.
Remember - the issue to going higher on this building was the rigidity of the original elevator core (which was reinforced prior to the building going up) - not the load capacity of the piles.
