DALLAS, June 20, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Primoris Services Corporation (NASDAQ Global Select:PRIM) (“Primoris” or “Company”) today announced that it has acquired the assets of Coastal Field Services (“Coastal”). Based in Beaumont, Texas, Coastal provides pipeline construction and maintenance, pipe and vessel coating and insulation, and integrity support services for leading companies in the oil and gas industry. The company targets midstream oil and gas companies that utilize pipelines and storage vessels for their products.
For the year ended December 31, 2016, Coastal generated EBITDA margins greater than 10% on revenues of $37.3 million. Repeat customers accounted for approximately 90% of revenue.
Total consideration was approximately $27.5 million paid in cash at closing.

David King, Primoris President and CEO, commented, "The acquisition of Coastal dovetails well with the work performed by our Primoris Pipeline and Field Services groups. It allows us to offer our clients a wider range of services, including compressor station capital projects, pipeline integrity work, call-out work, and insulation of plant piping and vessels.
