What Orion Group Holdings does

Orion Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ORN) is a Houston-based heavy civil and marine construction contractor that delivers integrated infrastructure projects for federal, state and private-sector clients across the contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Canada and the Caribbean. The company operates through three segments: Marine (port and terminal construction, dredging, marine pipelines, environmental restoration, commercial diving and specialty services); Concrete (place-and-finish, site prep, forming, rebar and turnkey concrete construction for data centers, healthcare, education, retail, hospitality and commercial/industrial facilities, including sustainability-engineered mixes such as reduced-cement fly ash and Portland Limestone Cement concrete); and Engineering & Consulting, delivered through its 2011-acquired Schneider Engineering & Consulting subsidiary, which provides planning, design, permitting and Engineer-of-Record services for marine structures. Revenue is generated on a project-by-project basis through competitive bidding for government work and direct negotiation for private commercial work, recognized over time using percentage-of-completion accounting; FY2025 revenue was $852 million (up 7% YoY) with 2026 guidance of $900-$950 million and Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $54-$58 million.

The company combines an owned specialized asset base — over 60 spud barges, a multi-type dredge fleet (cutter suction, portable and mechanical dredges), tug and push boats, cranes, and concrete-specific equipment — with a nearly 100-year marine legacy, Lost Time Incident Rate of 0.13 versus an industry average of 2.3, and multi-regional offices enabling localized bidding and execution. Customer concentrations include the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Navy, NASA, ExxonMobil, Targa, Golden Pass LNG, Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Buc-ee's, Academy Sports, Rice University, and a growing roster of hyperscaler data-center developers. Distribution is exclusively direct, project-based enterprise sales supported by a formal Strategy & Growth organization; the company does not use channel partners or third-party resellers.

The current strategic posture — led by CEO Travis Boone (joined 2022 ex-AECOM) and CFO Alison Vasquez (joined 2025 ex-KBR) — focuses on operational discipline, margin recovery and accretive M&A, exemplified by the February 2026 acquisition of J.E. McAmis, Inc. for approximately $60 million, which added a $1.4 billion project pipeline primarily serving the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Capital structure is investment-grade-conservative with 1.5x net leverage, a new $120 million UMB Bank senior credit facility (December 2025), and a quoted $24 billion forward opportunity pipeline — the largest in the company's operating history.
