PURIS Announces the Acquisition of Amici Engineering Contractors

PURIS, LLC has successfully completed the acquisition of Amici Engineering Contractors, LLC, a Florida-based provider of underground water and utility infrastructure services, for an undisclosed amount. The transaction, announced on August 7, 2026, marks a significant step in PURIS' strategy to enhance its water infrastructure platform, particularly in complex pipeline construction and related services.

Founded in 2019, Amici Engineering Contractors has quickly established itself as a leader in the Florida market, specializing in complex pipeline construction, horizontal directional drilling, and other essential services for the installation, repair, and rehabilitation of potable water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure. With operational offices in Zephyrhills and Miami, Amici has built a reputation for engineering excellence and responsiveness, making it a strategic fit for PURIS, which is headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas.

The acquisition aligns with PURIS' growth strategy, which emphasizes a disciplined approach to expanding its capabilities through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions. PURIS, a portfolio company of J.F. Lehman & Company, aims to leverage Amici's specialized engineering capabilities to enhance its existing service offerings. The addition of Amici is expected to broaden PURIS' solutions for customers across North America, particularly in the face of increasing demand for advanced water infrastructure solutions.

Industry dynamics indicate a growing need for innovative approaches to managing aging infrastructure, particularly as municipalities face the challenges of maintaining and upgrading their water systems. The integration of Amici's capabilities into PURIS' operations is anticipated to position the combined entity favorably in a competitive landscape, allowing for the delivery of minimally disruptive, cost-effective solutions to complex infrastructure challenges.

Overall, the acquisition of Amici Engineering Contractors by PURIS underscores the ongoing consolidation within the water infrastructure sector, driven by the need for enhanced capabilities and technological advancements. As the market continues to evolve, this strategic move may serve as a catalyst for further acquisitions and partnerships, ultimately shaping the future of infrastructure services in the United States.
