Aegion acquires trenchless pipe rehabilitation company to expand services
(UI) – Aegion Corporation, a provider of infrastructure maintenance, rehabilitation and technology-enabled water solutions, announced the acquisition of Portland Utilities Construction Company, an underground utility contractor in the Southeast and Texas. Portland Utilities Construction Company, LLC (PUCC) plans to operate under its current company name in the near term.
Founded in 1991 by Ernie Woodcock, PUCC found its niche in the trenchless pipe rehabilitation industry by pioneering and promoting the “pipe bursting” method of pipe replacement in Tennessee and its seven border states. In 1995, Ernie’s son, Mike Woodcock, began working at PUCC. Today, PUCC is one of the premier contractors in trenchless pipe rehabilitation servicing municipal clients across the Southeast and Texas.
PUCC facilities and employees will remain in place, including Vice President Mike Woodcock and Controller John Keck, who will continue to lead the organization for the foreseeable future.
