What TIC Solutions does

TIC Solutions (NYSE: TIC) is a tech-enabled provider of critical asset integrity solutions, delivering testing, inspection, certification, compliance (TICC), engineering, and geospatial services across the full asset lifecycle. The company was formed through the combination of Acuren (field and materials expertise) and NV5 Global (engineering and technology capabilities), with NV5 acquired in August 2025 for approximately $2.1 billion. Headquartered in the United States, TIC Solutions operates through 11,000 technical professionals across more than 200 North American locations, serving diversified end markets including industrials, energy processing, utilities, public and commercial infrastructure, midstream and renewables, and data centers.

The company's core offering spans eight service lines: Nondestructive Testing & Inspection (ultrasonic, radiographic, phased array, TOFD, guided wave methods), Geospatial data acquisition and analytics (aerial, terrestrial, UAS, satellite sensors), Buildings & Technology (MEP-FP, commissioning for data centers), Rope Access Solutions, Engineering (civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, environmental, geotechnical), Infrastructure Support Services, accredited Laboratory Services, and Industry Training programs. The portfolio is augmented by GeoAgent, an AI geospatial analytics product launched in 2025. Geospatial data flows through proprietary software and algorithms that transform raw sensor data into decision-ready information for asset management and resource planning.

TIC Solutions generates revenue through B2B professional services engagements priced on a quote-based, project-scope basis, reaching enterprise customers via direct enterprise field sales across regional offices. FY2025 combined revenue was approximately $2.1 billion (4% YoY, 2.2% organic), with Q1 2026 record revenue of $488 million and full-year 2026 guidance of $2,150-$2,250 million. Management has set long-term targets of $3B+ revenue, 18%+ adjusted EBITDA margin, and 85%+ free cash flow conversion by 2029. The company is publicly traded, with leadership headed by CEO Ben Heraud (appointed March 2026, formerly CEO of NV5) and CFO Kristin Schultes.
