H&S Constructors

What H&S Constructors does

H&S Constructors, Inc. is a privately held, Texas-incorporated, merit-shop heavy industrial contractor founded in May 1981 by Patrick J. Horne (President) and Michael D. Scott (Vice-President) and headquartered in Corpus Christi, Texas. The company delivers five interconnected service lines: (1) Industrial Construction — full-service general contracting for petrochemical and municipal projects including civil, mechanical, fabrication, equipment erection, piping, structural, crane rental, and ASME Code work; (2) Pipeline Construction — pipelines, compressor/meter stations, gas plants, integrity and rehabilitation work; (3) Vessel and Machine Shop — ASME U/S/R-stamped fabrication, heat exchanger repair, pipe/structural/vessel fabrication, and flange resurfacing; (4) Leak Tech — 24/7 emergency leak repair, field machining, and bolting; and (5) Crane Rental — a 26-to-550-ton hydraulic crane fleet for industrial, oilfield, and commercial lifts. The firm operates from nine Texas regional locations with all shop fabrication concentrated at a Corpus Christi campus comprising roughly 50,000 sq ft of fabrication and machine shop space situated within 300 feet of Cargo Docks 8–15.

The company's competitive moat rests on three pillars: regulatory credentials (ASME U, S, and R stamps, CWI- and NACE-certified inspectors, VPP status at multiple customer sites), a pre-qualified, multiskilled merit-shop workforce evaluated via skill-craft tests and Human Performance Evaluation, and owned capital assets including the large crane fleet and waterfront fabrication campus. Customer segments are concentrated in Texas petrochemical, oil and gas, and municipal infrastructure, served through direct enterprise field sales led by division managers (Industrial Division Manager Kelly Koster, Vessel & Machine Shop Manager Harry Goodridge) and a website-based quote-request workflow. Pricing is project-based and not publicly disclosed; contracts are structured as one-time project work with multi-year relationship cadence.

The business is founder-led with no disclosed private equity, venture capital, parent company, or M&A activity. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and there are no app products, APIs, or AI/ML capabilities referenced in the source material.
