Allied also provides specialty HDPE fusion services for these industries. Markervac has a fleet of hydro vac trucks that mainly support the hydroelectric industry in southern Ontario along with servicing many critical utilities.

“We are extremely excited to welcome the Allied and Markervac teams to the CIG family. I look forward to a long and lasting relationship with this team, and I am particularly excited to work with Allied and Markervac’s founders Matt Walker and Sandy Martin,” said Beswick at the time of the acquisition. “These gentlemen are two experienced industry veterans that bring management depth and experience to our growing group of vertically integrated infrastructure service companies.”

In June 2021, CIG made its first move into the U.S. market with the acquisition of Northeast Safety Boats LLC, from its owners Jack and Linda Casey. Based in New Hartford, Connecticut, the company supplies safety and support services to bridge inspection, rehabilitation and construction. It operates in 11 states predominantly on the Northeastern seaboard of the United States.
