PURIS enhances potable water rehabilitation leadership, acquires D&D Water & Sewer
(UI) — PURIS, a provider of trenchless infrastructure renewal solutions, has announced the acquisition of the assets of D&D Water & Sewer Inc. Headquartered in Canton, Mich., D&D provides the region with specialized underground infrastructure installation and repair solutions.
“The combination of D&D’s local expertise and purpose-built operational capabilities enhance PURIS’s ability to address the needs of clients located across North America,” Mick Fegan, CEO at PURIS, said. “The D&D acquisition expands our self-perform capabilities, driving savings for our clients, and builds on the success of our existing Murphy Pipeline Contractors business, an industry-leader in drinking water infrastructure rehabilitation. Along with renewing larger diameter potable water transmission lines, we now can replace smaller-diameter lead service lines that have become a growing concern in communities across North America.”
Mark DiMichele, President of D&D, added, “I am thrilled to join the PURIS family of companies. The PURIS platform provides D&D with the resources required for continued growth and allows us to better serve our existing clients by offering them an expanded suite of trenchless solutions.” DiMichele has joined the PURIS leadership team and will continue to play a key role on PURIS’s operations team.
“D&D’s capabilities are uniquely-positioned to address the urgent need to improve the safety and efficiency of drinking water distribution. This acquisition will help support the growing demand for our solutions,” said Glenn Shor, Chairman of PURIS and Partner at JFLCO.
