Utility players
“Larger opportunities continue to improve and replace water infrastructure.”
– and Evans, CEO, Skoda Contracting
The power and utility infrastructure has become the strongest growth engine in many companies, a sector in which “the most significant growth has been in electrical transmission,” says Kane Cuddy, president of Bond Civil & Utity Construction. The leader of the firm of the Boston area quotes the convergent forces that remodel the market: the aging network systems, the interruptions that are most related to the climate and the increasing demand of data centers and other powerful users. “As a whole, these factors are creating a wave of opportunities sustained in the electrical transmission sector,” he says. “For companies like ours, this means not only to keep aged active, but also to play a central role in the remodeling of the region’s energy landscape for reliability, resilience and future growth.”
Dane Evans, CEO 36 Classified Skoda Contracting, points to similar demand drivers on the side of the utility. Its Flanders firm, NJ, reported $ 88 million revenue.
“Larger opportunities continue to improve and replace water infrastructure, driven by aging systems and regulatory requirements for the replacement of the lead service line and improvements in water quality,” he says.

Distribution electrical work is expanding rapidly as public services “ invest in system updates to manage load growth and prepare for increased electrification, ” adds Evans, while the rapid increase in AI and data centers is to “ feed the demand for access to related power and infrastructure, creating new opportunities for utility contractors ”.
Although some power and public services markets increase, others have slowed down due to policy and budget restrictions, with Cuddy, pointing out wind development out of the sea and higher education energy projects in recent months.

Evans has a similar caution in the development of the heavy site and civil markets, where the “opaque federal policy, the volatility of interest rates, the most widespread tariff concerns and the macroeconomic uncertainty” have made developers more selective on large and multiannual projects.
The two executives expect modest short -term growth, but fundamental long -term. Cuddy forecasts continued the impetus for battery storage systems, electrical transmission and water infrastructure, while Evans provides for “ significant investment ” in the hardening of the power grid, the replacement of continuous pipes in both gas, water and water updates and water treatment facilities over the next three or five years.
