HardRock Directional Drilling expands business with Raymond Construction partnership
(UI) — HardRock Directional Drilling LLC has partnered with J&J Raymond Construction LLC, creating the new entity HardRock Infrastructure Services, the company announced on Dec. 1. This partnership expands HardRock's reach into the natural gas utilities industry and adds high-quality crews and equipment to the HardRock fleet.
Headquartered in Center, Texas, Raymond Construction provides horizontal directional drilling services to natural gas pipeline and utility companies in the East Texas region. Raymond will be a wholly owned subsidiary of HardRock, and the Raymond family will continue as significant investors in the consolidated HardRock business.
"We are thrilled to partner with Raymond Construction and the Raymond family,” Robert Myers, CEO of HardRock, said. “There is a strong cultural fit between our teams, and we share a like-minded approach to our work—we focus on providing the best service while always putting safety first. The partnership will lead to significant geographic expansion for HardRock while also diversifying our customer and end-market reach. With the support of Tower Arch Capital, we are well-capitalized to continue investing in new and existing locations and services."
In step with this new partnership and to highlight HardRock's continued expansion of capabilities and end-markets, HardRock recently completed an extensive rebranding effort. At the heart of this rebranding is a change of the company name to HardRock Infrastructure Services.
"It's a major milestone for HardRock," David Topham, partner at Tower Arch Capital, said. "Since 2003, HardRock has been taking on challenging projects that others won't touch. This new name is in response to accelerated company growth and HardRock's expanded ability to provide a comprehensive range of turnkey services to the oil, natural gas, renewables, petrochemicals, municipal, civil, and utility sectors."
To better communicate the breadth of its capabilities, the company has also launched a new website, www.hardrockis.com. The new site highlights the services HardRock provides, key projects they have completed, and their commitment to safety and quality.
