Aegion Corporation has added more deals to the list, acquiring Portland Utilities Construction Company, LLC (PUCC), a trenchless service provider specializing in cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) and pipe bursting. PUCC serves the municipal market in Texas and the southeastern U.S. PUCC is Aegion’s sixth deal since 2021 and has significant market share in CIPP. #waterma #trenchless #leadserviceline "These acquisitions are showing that they're (Aegion) willing to turn to the market for products or capabilities that they may not have or may not be able to grow organically." - Bluefield's Senior Analyst Ethan Edwards Listen to Bluefield's new podcast: https://hubs.ly/Q0220HGq0 Related analysis for Water M&A clients: https://hubs.ly/Q0220F6J0 ALTRA | SANEXEN, American Industrial Partners, Inframark, Services Infraspec, J.F.

Darren Hadfield is getting the fundamentals in place at South32. To summarize his views: Have a disciplined focus on business value, hide the complexity and build trust. What was clear from this session is how IT is integrated into the operations, evidenced by the GM of the mine talking through how his team in partnership with IT has transformed the way they manage operations. Thanks for hosting us Darren and for sharing what you and your team have done.

Great talking with John Ferrell on the latest Deal Spotlight covering the Chord / Enerplus acquisition. We covered transaction highlights, some great IR spin, and did some speculating on what might be next in M&A for the Bakken. The big assumption for this deal is the amount of runaway Chord has for 3-mile lateral development within Enerplus's acreage - and we spent a good chunk of this analysis looking deeper into the success of Chord & Enerplus 3-mile type curves. With WellDatabase we were even able to split Chord's wells into its former companies, Oasis and Whiting, and compare those 3-mile laterals to find some super interesting data points surrounding this entire deal.

💫 Client Testimonial 💫 I absolutely love the trades. The trades are my favorite to work with for several reasons. They are in it to win it in a big way and are also not afraid to get dirty at the same time. I rarely meet tradesmen or tradeswomen that are not tough as nails (No pun intended, lol)! The downfall is the focus is on swinging the hammer or shingling the roof or running the wiring. Often times it's not about taking care of the business itself. James Hornof and his team over at B&W Electric are an amazing company. What I love about James is he had no fear to set down his wiring kit and take 3 days to get some help! I admire business owners that are not to proud, arrogant or whatever combination of the things there are to just say "I need a little help". Inevitably the ones that don't end up bankrupt at some point! I am so grateful for folks Like James because small business is the backbone of this country. If successful business owners like James don't reach out for help we just empower the statistics. If the failure rates can be reduced through my processes than I am here to help. Thank you James Hornof for trusting me with your business last week and the years to follow. I look forward to a long fruitful relationship that proves to be the cornerstone of your business. Keep being awesome brother!

We had a great time sitting down for a round table discussion with Atlas Salt Inc.'s new CEO Rick LaBelle and President Rowland Howe to discuss the exciting journey ahead for Atlas Salt and their shareholders as they begin building the first new salt mine in North America in over 25 years. Atlas Salt Inc. ( #TSXV: #SALT / #OTCQB: #REMRF) owns the world's premiere undeveloped salt mine with a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) giving it an NPV of $909M while it currently sits at a market cap of only 15% of that value. With a Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) around the corner that is sure to increase the value of this deposit even further, Atlas Salt has just brought on a new CEO, Rick LaBelle, who's illustrious career has centered around high profile Mergers & Acquisitions, underground mine building, and unlocking the true potential of shareholder value. We sit down with Rick and president Rowland Howe to discuss how combining their world class expertise will see the Great Atlantic salt deposit in Newfoundland become North America's first new salt mine in over 25 years. There's an exciting road ahead for Atlas Salt shareholders.

Great conversation with leaders in our Energy Practice on how to achieve success in transactions before the rubber meets the road. The pre-close period is key to setting the tone for integration.

Fantastic regional news coverage in greater Pittsburgh area of our factory expansion with JM Steel by Bill Flanagan of the Allegheny Conference on Community Development, with Nextracker Inc.'s Chris Bartley. Why is this important? Yes it is a great story about NXT scaling manufacturing and rebirthing enduring jobs across the US with partners like JM using clean US steel including from Steel Dynamics, Inc, United States Steel Corporation, and Nucor Corporation. The bigger narrative however, is that clean power technology and economics, with smart policy support from the IRA, is delivering on its promise of creating an advanced energy economy that is lowering costs for customers, furthering energy security, and creating strong competitive businesses in the USA. It is incumbent on all participants in renewable energy and clean power to tell these stories, and the best way is to highlight all the new manufacturing and project activities underway in communities across our great nation.
