MCKEE UTILITY CONTRACTORS acquired by MASTEC

UNITED STATES Construction / Public Works / Utilities Networks (Water/Fiber) EV 300M - 700M USD

Context

MasTec has finalized the acquisition of McKee Utility Contractors from Boyne Capital, marking a full exit for Boyne’s second fund (BCM Fund II LP). The transition reflects the integration of a specialized water infrastructure platform into a global publicly traded diversified services group. Under Boyne's three-year ownership, the organization underwent a significant operational transformation, which included doubling its crew count and establishing new regional divisions across Oklahoma and Texas. The rationale for the transaction centers on the acquisition of a high-growth platform with a dominant position in the Southern United States water utility sector. The target provides the acquirer with specialized technical capabilities in large-diameter pipeline construction, an increasingly critical infrastructure segment due to urban expansion and aging municipal water systems. The partnership is expected to leverage the target's recently upgraded project management systems and safety protocols to take on larger, more complex water infrastructure projects. By integrating this founder-led specialist into its broad portfolio, the acquirer reinforces its status as a leading consolidator in the North American specialized contracting market.

MCKEE UTILITY CONTRACTORS, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2025, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN.

Target

McKee Utility Contractors is a specialized infrastructure services provider focusing on the installation and rehabilitation of large-diameter water and wastewater transmission pipelines. The organization’s business model is centered on mission-critical municipal projects, facilitating the daily movement of millions of gallons of water between treatment facilities, reservoirs, and urban population centers. Its value proposition lies in its technical capability to manage high-complexity utility projects involving heavy excavation, deep trenching, and the use of specialized pipe-laying equipment. Strategically, the firm prioritizes regional dominance in the Southern United States, serving municipal and regional water authorities through both new network construction and the maintenance of aging infrastructure. The entity operates as a critical technical partner for cities undergoing rapid population growth and utility network expansion.
