Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
Expanding heavy marine capabilities and regional presence, particularly in the Pacific region, through targeted acquisitions and asset additions. This includes the integration of J.E. McAmis's specialized jetty and breakwater capabilities and the acquisition of a large Jones Act derrick barge.
Expected impact: Strengthens competitive positioning for large-scale federal, defense, and coastal protection opportunities, while driving higher blended margins in the Marine segment.
Leveraging self-performance capabilities to win and execute profitable, high-spec projects in key structural concrete markets, with a primary focus on hyperscale data centers for world-class clients.
Expected impact: Aims to expand Concrete segment margins to mid-single digits and build a resilient, high-quality backlog less sensitive to general commercial real estate cycles.
Securing a new five-year, $120 million credit facility with UMB Bank to replace the prior high-cost facility, consisting of a revolving credit line, equipment term loan, and acquisition term loan.
Expected impact: Reduces borrowing costs by approximately 40% compared to the prior facility, materially improving liquidity and financial flexibility to fund organic growth and strategic M&A.
