Precision Pipeline, LLC has been acquired by MasTec, Inc.

November 2009 — The shareholders of Precision Pipeline, LLC, have sold their investment to MasTec, Inc., a specialty contractor for communications companies, utilities and government agencies throughout the USA. The sale included a payment of US$132 million in cash at the closing and the assumption of US$34 million in outstanding debt, which, together, represented more than twice the initial offer, with a negotiated five-year earnout program.

Precision Pipeline is a leader among construction contractors that build large-diameter transcontinental oil and natural gas pipelines in the United States.

MasTec designs, builds, installs, maintains and upgrades natural gas gathering systems, mid-stream pipelines, processing plants and compression stations. With this acquisition, MasTec becomes a leading pipeline contractor on a national basis, capable of providing end-to-end construction services to oil and gas producers as well as mid-stream and interstate natural gas and petroleum pipeline operators.
