Boyer

What Boyer does

Boyer, Inc. is a Houston-headquartered infrastructure construction company founded in 1986 by Mark L. Boyer and his mother, initially as an electrical construction firm and now operating across six core service lines: Civil Construction, Electrical Systems, Inland Marine, Mechanical Projects, Instrumentation and Control (including SCADA), and Fabrication. The company specializes in difficult and complex public infrastructure — large-diameter sewer rehabilitation, water and wastewater treatment plant construction, pump and lift stations, dam infrastructure, underground electric transmission (including 138kV), and inland marine works — for municipal, port, and utility clients across the Gulf Coast and Mid-Atlantic regions. Its technical differentiation rests on an 18-acre Northwest Houston facility with a 60,000 sq ft fabrication warehouse, a large owned equipment fleet (including Akkerman guided boring machines, sectional barges, tugs, and custom pipe carriers and pushers), patented tools for segmental sliplining and trenchless pipe installation, and certified installer status for the proprietary Danby PVC Grouted-In-Place Lining System. The business self-performs more than 95% of project work using a 200+ person in-house skilled workforce that includes Professional Engineers, Master Electricians, certified plumbers, fabricators, and draftsmen — eliminating subcontractor dependency and enabling rapid mobilization on emergency repairs.

Revenue is generated almost exclusively through competitively-bid B2G/B2B contracts with cities, water authorities, port authorities, and energy utilities, with project values ranging from hundreds of thousands to tens of millions of dollars per award. Notable projects include the rehabilitation of 1,522 LF of 132-inch by 147-inch arched interceptor in Baltimore, installation of approximately 10,000 feet of 120-inch CCFRPM pipe across multiple phases of the Houston Northside Sewer Rehabilitation Program, 138kV underground transmission work for CenterPoint Energy, and dam and intake structure construction for Trinity River Authority and San Jacinto River Authority. The company holds no public listing, has no disclosed institutional investors, and remains under family ownership with Mark Boyer as CEO and President; the firm celebrated its 40th anniversary in business with Mark Boyer being named 2025 MVP of the underground infrastructure industry by UCTA and Underground Infrastructure Magazine. A single source references an April 2026 launch of an "AI Agent Strike Force" unit citing 50+ live AI Agents deployed; this signal is not corroborated by the rest of the company profile and is flagged for independent verification.

Others

• CenterPoint Energy (contractor ecosystem): While CenterPoint Energy is a customer (138kV underground transmission buyer) rather than a peer, the major utility contractor ecosystem serving CenterPoint - including MYR Group subsidiaries and Quanta Services operating companies - represents the broader competitive set for Boyer's electric transmission installation work.
• Hobas Pipe USA: Manufacturer and supplier of CCFRPM pipe that has partnered with Boyer on multiple record-setting 120-inch installations. Functions as an enabler/supplier relationship - other contractors using Hobas pipe (including Oscar Renda) compete directly with Boyer.

Direct peers

• Garney Construction: Employee-owned water/wastewater pipeline and treatment plant contractor with self-perform crews serving municipal clients nationally. Comparable in self-perform philosophy, pipe jacking/microtunneling methods, and water/sewer pipeline scope to Boyer.
• Inland Pipe Rehabilitation (IPR): Specialty contractor delivering trenchless rehabilitation of wastewater and stormwater pipelines, including large-diameter work, to municipal clients. Directly comparable in product (rehab methods) and target customer (municipal sewer authorities) to Boyer's large-diameter rehab practice.
• Oscar Renda Contracting: Texas-based civil and underground infrastructure contractor that competed head-to-head with Boyer on the Northside Sewer Rehabilitation Program (NSRT) Area 4 and Area 5 Phase Two in Houston, installing identical 120-inch CCFRPM pipe under live flow. Same municipal water/sewer customer base, same trenchless methods, and same large-diameter sliplining expertise.
• SAK Construction: Specialty contractor in sewer and underground infrastructure rehabilitation, including large-diameter lining, microtunneling, and trenchless renewal. Competes with Boyer's trenchless rehab practice for similar municipal RFPs.
• Ulliman Schutte Construction: Heavy civil and water/wastewater treatment plant contractor identified in Boyer's data as a GC partner on the $3.7-5.3M Back River Outfall Interceptor emergency rehab in Baltimore. Competes for the same municipal water/wastewater treatment plant and large interceptor work and is itself a Danby-trained installer using Boyer's methods.
• Reynolds Inliner (Reynolds Construction): National trenchless pipe rehabilitation contractor focused on cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) and underground infrastructure renewal. Directly competes with Boyer's Danby PVC large-diameter rehab and sliplining services across municipal sewer clients in the U.S.

Broad incumbents

• Granite Construction: National heavy civil contractor active in water resources, transportation, and federal infrastructure. A broader incumbent whose water/wastewater and large-diameter pipeline work overlaps with Boyer's municipal pipeline scope.
• Quanta Services: Large publicly traded infrastructure services platform with electric power, oil & gas pipeline, and underground utility construction. Overlaps with Boyer's electrical systems (including CenterPoint 138kV transmission) and underground utility installation.
