TIC Holdings

What TIC Holdings does

TIC Holdings, operating as TIC – The Industrial Company, is a privately held direct-hire general contractor and one of North America's largest industrial construction firms, founded in 1974 in Steamboat Springs, Colorado by Ron McKenzie and 20 partners and now a subsidiary of Kiewit Corporation. The company self-performs the majority of its project scope — civil, structural steel, mechanical, process piping, electrical, instrumentation and controls — and operates integrated engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services from front-end loading through commissioning and startup. Its physical asset base is differentiated: a 12,500-ton rated capacity lifting device (the largest onshore unit in the Western Hemisphere), an Ingleside, Texas Gulf Coast fabrication facility with deep-water access accommodating the world's largest float-on/float-off vessel, North America's largest privately owned construction equipment fleet, and NCCER-accredited craft training across seven disciplines from a 150,000-square-foot Aurora, Colorado training center.

The company serves five primary markets: Power and Renewable Energy (solar, BESS, hydrogen, geothermal, carbon capture, offshore wind, commercial nuclear, natural gas); Oil, Gas and Chemical (refineries, LNG, petrochemicals, gas processing, renewable fuels); Industrial (mineral processing, advanced technologies including data centers, semiconductors and EV batteries, process industries); Mining and Minerals (precious metals, rare earths, critical minerals); and Marine and Heavy Civil (lock and dam repairs, docks, wharfs, piers, dredging, bridges). It sells primarily through direct enterprise field sales to project owners, often as part of joint ventures with Kiewit, Kiewit Power Engineers, Chiyoda, Sargent & Lundy, or Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, executing large lump-sum, cost-plus and EPC contracts. Notable projects include the 1-GW Samson Solar Energy Center, the $480M Petra Nova carbon capture project, the GCGV 1.8 MTPA ethylene plant with CKJV, the Freeport LNG restoration, and continuous maintenance at the Belridge producing complex since 2001.

Operating across the United States, Canada and Mexico with offices and yards in Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kansas and Texas and a directly employed craft workforce averaging over 30 million man-hours annually, TIC generates revenue under one-time project contracts supplemented by recurring maintenance and general services contracts with long-term industrial owners; the company does not publicly disclose its revenue given its private ownership under Kiewit Corporation.

Direct peers

• Zachry Group: Zachry is a privately held industrial and power EPC contractor with strong capabilities in power generation and process industries. It is a closely comparable peer in scale and EPC model, competing for many of the same power and industrial projects TIC targets.
• Primoris Services: Primoris provides construction, maintenance, and specialty services across utilities, energy, and civil infrastructure in North America, with direct overlap to TIC in power, pipeline, and industrial construction. The firm competes for many of the same mid- to large-cap industrial project contracts.
• Quanta Services: Quanta is a leading utility-scale infrastructure construction firm with a self-perform labor model spanning electric power, oil & gas pipelines, and renewable energy. Comparable to TIC in transmission/distribution, pipeline facility, and renewable EPC project delivery for large enterprise and utility clients.
• Mortenson Construction: Mortenson is a privately held U.S. construction firm with strong EPC and self-perform capabilities in power, renewable energy, data centers, and industrial markets. It competes directly with TIC on large-scale renewable, power, and advanced industrial project scopes.
• MasTec: MasTec is one of the largest North American infrastructure construction firms serving the energy, utility, communications, and oil & gas end markets with self-perform capabilities. It directly overlaps with TIC in power delivery, oil & gas pipeline and processing, and clean energy infrastructure construction across the same geographies.

Broad incumbents

• Bechtel Corporation: Bechtel is a privately held global EPC leader in LNG, petrochemicals, power, and civil infrastructure. It competes with TIC on the largest North American LNG and power EPC scopes. Bechtel's scale and international footprint extend well beyond TIC's North America industrial focus.
• AECOM: AECOM is a global infrastructure consulting and engineering firm with design and program management capabilities across energy, environment, and transportation. Relevant overlap with TIC's EPC engineering front-end and preconstruction scopes for industrial clients.
• Fluor Corporation: Fluor is a global EPC incumbent with deep capabilities in oil & gas, petrochemicals, LNG, mining, and increasingly renewables. TIC competes with Fluor on large LNG and petrochemical EPC bids (e.g., Freeport LNG restoration) but Fluor is much larger and more diversified across geographies and end markets.
• KBR Inc. KBR is a global engineering and government services firm with EPC capabilities in energy, petrochemicals, and sustainable solutions. It offers overlapping EPC and engineering services for the same industrial client base, though with a heavier government services mix than TIC.
• Jacobs Solutions: Jacobs delivers engineering, technical, and construction management services across energy, water, and advanced manufacturing. It is comparable to TIC's EPC engineering and project management scope, though Jacobs leans more on professional services and PMC rather than self-perform construction.
