Strategic Acquisition Tri-State Utilities was acquired by Vortex Companies in December 2024, increasing financial backing and access to broader trenchless infrastructure solutions, which suggests greater capacity for larger contracts and expanded service offerings to municipal utilities.

Municipal Focus Specializes in trenchless pipe rehabilitation for municipal water and wastewater systems, including cleaning, CCTV inspection, smoke/dye testing, grouting, and CIPP lining, indicating alignment with city and county utility modernization programs and capital improvement projects.

Safety Excellence Employment is trained in latest technologies with a drug-free workforce; recognition includes NUCA National Safety Award and Contractor of the Year awards, signaling a strong safety record that can reassure clients on project risk and compliance.

Financial Scale Current revenue range of 10 to 25 million positions Tri-State as a mid-market contractor capable of pursuing mid-to-large scale municipal projects and potentially partnering with larger utilities for joint ventures or subcontracts.

Expansion Synergies Post acquisition, there is potential for cross-selling with Vortex’s broader trenchless solutions portfolio, enhanced technical, product, and installation support, and access to additional resources to tackle complex water and wastewater infrastructure challenges.
