31 July 2023 - 10:53PM
Aegion Corporation, a leading provider of infrastructure
maintenance, rehabilitation and technology-enabled water solutions,
today announced the acquisition of Portland Utilities Construction
Company, a preferred 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.
“The addition of Portland Utilities bolsters our
ability to deliver additional specialized services to customers in
Tennessee and beyond,” said Rob Tullman, President and CEO, Aegion.
“We value PUCC’s legacy in the industry and are excited to leverage
their capabilities and grow together.”
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.
“Our employees, past and present, are
responsible for all our success at PUCC. Because of them, our
customers have trusted the PUCC name for more than three decades,”
said Ernie Woodcock, President, Portland Utilities Construction
Company, LLC. “I thank them as we start a new chapter with Aegion
and continue to deliver the highest quality service with additional
resources and support.”
