USIC, LLC (“USIC”), a leader in underground utility damage prevention, has signed a definitive agreement to acquire substantially all of the public gas locating division of Heath Consultants, an industry leader in methane emissions management. This strategic move will enhance USIC’s service offerings in the gas locating space, as it continues to expand the breadth of its portfolio.
The acquisition of this division will strengthen USIC’s position in providing utilities with advanced gas locating services. USIC will offer these services to its customers and augment these capabilities with advanced infrastructure services, such as private locate, vacuum excavation, GIS mapping services, and cross-bore mitigation.
The integration is expected to create exciting opportunities for growth. The combined organization will be enabled by USIC’s Locate360 digital platform, which uses advanced machine learning and AI tools to optimize services. By leveraging the combined expertise and resources of both organizations, USIC will be well-positioned to further improve its offerings, innovate its service delivery, and enhance customer value.
“We are excited to welcome the talented team and valued customers of Heath’s locate business into the USIC family,” said Yuvbir Singh, CEO of USIC. “Their commitment to safety and customer-centric approach aligns perfectly with USIC’s core values. I am personally very optimistic about the opportunities this acquisition creates for us to learn from each other, enhance our capabilities, and deliver even greater value to our combined customer base.”
“We believe that our gas locate team will find a great home within USIC and will continue to grow with focus and investment going forward. Furthermore, this sale will enhance the safety and efficiency of the gas utility industry by fostering collaboration with partners committed to innovative solutions and forward-thinking approaches and allow Heath to focus on our core methane leak detection products and services,” said Drew Sitgreaves, CEO of Heath Consultants.
The terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. The transaction is expected to be completed by Q3 of 2025 and is subject to customary closing conditions.
