TSU One

What TSU One does

TSU One is a Texas- and Oklahoma-based utility infrastructure contractor providing installation, maintenance, and repair services for natural gas and electric distribution systems. Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Fort Worth, the company operates from twelve regional offices (Fort Worth, Prosper, Manor, Joshua, Mineral Wells, Sunnyvale, El Paso, Weatherford, Cypress, Oklahoma City, Glenpool, and Austin) and delivers four core service lines: general construction (street lighting, gas leak repair, water systems, maintenance), underground utilities (electric, gas, telecom), project management and subcontractor coordination, and specialized capabilities in gas pipeline relocation, switchgear, and fiber optic installation.

The company's customer base is anchored by large investor-owned and cooperative utilities (Atmos Energy, Oncor, One Gas, Coserv, Farmers Electric Cooperative, United Cooperative Services) and extends to residential and commercial real estate developers and municipal governments across the South-Central U.S. Projects are secured through competitive bidding and direct contracts, with the Owner/COO personally driving client relationships. The business model is project-based professional services: revenue is generated per job based on scope, materials, and labor, with quotes provided on request; there is no disclosed recurring or subscription revenue stream.

The technology stack is operational rather than productized: GPS tracking for fleet and crew visibility, web-based billing for client transparency, and mobile laptop/electronic file transfer for field-to-office communications. TSU One's competitive positioning rests on a formalized safety and training culture (bi-weekly safety meetings, randomized drug testing, classroom training, a CUSP-certified senior supervisor, and an internal DD Spotlight safety communication program), tailored project execution, subcontractor coordination, and a multi-region yard network that reduces mobilization costs for utility clients. Reference projects include 52,000 underground electrical services installed over three years, 17 miles of 6-inch gas main in a single Marlin, TX project, and 16 miles of fiber optic cable for a Garland W.A.N. deployment.

Broad incumbents

• Quanta Services: Largest U.S. specialty contractor for electric, gas, telecom, and renewable infrastructure. Comparable to TSU One in core service lines (underground electric, gas distribution, fiber) but operates nationally with vastly greater scale and capital base.
• MasTec: Diversified infrastructure contractor covering communications, oil & gas, power delivery, and clean energy. Overlaps with TSU One in gas distribution and electric T&D services but at materially larger scale and across a national footprint.

Direct peers

• MYR Group: Specialty contractor focused on transmission and distribution electrical construction. Closely comparable to TSU One's underground electric service work for utilities like Oncor and Coserv, though MYR Group operates nationally and is publicly traded.
• Primoris Services Corporation: Specialty contractor serving utilities, energy, and civil infrastructure markets, with significant gas and electric distribution exposure. TSU One's CAO Joy Baccus is a former PLH Group controller (PLH was acquired by Primoris), reinforcing direct operational comparability.
• Dycom Industries: Provider of specialty contracting services to the telecommunications and utility industries. Comparable to TSU One's fiber optic cabling (e.g., Garland W.A.N. project) and underground utility installation work for telecom and electric customers.
• Miller Pipeline: Private utility contractor specializing in natural gas distribution construction, maintenance, and replacement. Directly comparable to TSU One's gas pipeline installation, leak repair, and Atmos-style service work for gas utilities.
• Mears Group: Underground infrastructure contractor serving electric, gas, telecom, and water utilities across the U.S. Overlaps with TSU One's full service mix (underground electric, gas, fiber) and serves similar utility customer types.
• PLH Group: Utility infrastructure contractor for electric and gas T&D, acquired by Primoris Services in 2020. TSU One's CAO Joy Baccus is a former PLH Group CAO/Controller, making this a direct operating peer for gas/electric distribution contracting.

Regional players

• Construction Partners: Civil infrastructure services company operating across the Sun Belt, including Texas. Comparable to TSU One in regional infrastructure exposure and growth-via-acquisition model, though more weighted toward highway and civil work than utility installation.

Others

• Atmos Energy: TSU One's largest natural gas customer. Listed as a peer because it represents the buyer-side counterparty in the contractor-utility relationship that defines TSU One's gas distribution installation and maintenance work.
