HOUSTON (UC) — Quanta Services said it has completed the acquisition of Plainview, N.Y.-based Hallen Construction, a large gas utility contractor serving key markets in the U.S. Northeast, along with two Southeast specialty contractors for $330 million in cash and stock.
"Over the past several years, Hallen has achieved solid organic revenue and profit growth by leveraging its operational excellence and working collaboratively with its customers," Quanta said in an announcement of the transaction's closing.
Founded in 1927, Hallen has strong customer relationships with leading utilities in its markets, Quanta said. It primarily provides gas distribution and transmission services and, along with a lesser focused on underground electric distribution and transmission services.
The smaller acquisitions included Prairieville, La.-based R.R. Cassidy Inc., which specializes in pole-setting, and Marathon Construction Services, a drilled shaft foundation company based in Tavares, Fla. Quanta said it bought all three companies for about $328 million in cash and $2 million in stock but did not break down the cost of each acquisition individually.
