What PULLMAN does
PULLMAN is a North American specialty structural repair and preservation contractor, founded in 1902 (originally as MW Kellogg Company) and operating as a subsidiary of Structural Group, Inc. The company delivers Investigate-Design-Build repair, strengthening, and maintenance services for concrete, steel, and masonry infrastructure across six core verticals: Commercial & Public, Federal Government, Industrial, Transportation Infrastructure, Power Generation, and Water & Wastewater. Notable project work includes the Brooklyn Bridge masonry restoration (serving 150,000+ daily travelers), Alcatraz Island Cell House preservation, Napa Valley Courthouse earthquake repair, West Virginia State Capitol stairs repair, TransAlta's Cascade penstock rehabilitation, and seismic upgrades to US 50 bridge piers.
The company's technical offering spans Historic Restoration, Concrete Repair & Maintenance, Structural Strengthening (using proprietary STRUCTURAL TECHNOLOGIES products such as V-Wrap carbon/glass FRP composites, DUCON micro-reinforced concrete, and VSL external post-tensioning systems), Pipe Repair & Strengthening (StrongPIPE), Building Envelope Restoration, Structural Upgrade & Seismic Retrofit, New Construction for Power Generation (slipform/jumpform chimneys, stacks, flue gas structures), Hydrodemolition, and Plant-Wide Condition Management (PCMS). PULLMAN holds an exclusive licensee arrangement with sister company STRUCTURAL TECHNOLOGIES for these proprietary engineered products.
Revenue is generated on a project-based professional services model, with pricing custom-quoted per scope and no publicly disclosed rates. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales, executed through 14 regional offices across the United States and Canada (including Vector Restoration's Canadian operations), with business development managers and unionized craft labor engaging directly with owners, engineers, and general contractors. The company maintains an active industry-standards posture with seats on ICRI, ACI, and CICIND committees, and has accumulated multiple ICRI, ENR, and Lucy G. Moses awards between 2017 and 2025.
