CARNEGIE, Pa. —<\/strong> Ground improvement specialist Menard USA acquired Farrell Design-Build Companies Inc. of Placerville, Ca. as of Dec. 1, 2021.\u00a0\u00a0<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

With 15 offices across the eastern half of the U.S., Menard USA has added its first West Coast location.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

\u201cFarrell will be a great partner for Menard\u2019s expansion on the West Coast of the United States,\u201d said Seth Pearlman, CEO North America at Menard.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

Tom Farrell will remain President of Farrell and added, \u201cWe are delighted to join Menard.\u00a0 With the support of a larger group, we can now offer more services to our California and West Coast customers.\u201d<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

Founded in 1999, Farrell designs and builds deep foundation and ground improvement support for heavy structures, parking garages, office, high-rise and industrial buildings, hospitals, schools and universities, water treatment plants and warehouses in the highly seismic regions of California. Farrell, a company of 65 employees, is a natural fit for Menard, adding to its 300-employee base.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

\u201cFarrell is an entrepreneurial company in a market which has both soft and liquefiable ground,\u201d Pearlman said. \u201cThey focus on design-build ground improvement projects using techniques similar to ours in a high-seismic environment. Like Menard, Farrell is driven to influence the market, bringing value to their customers by expanding the application of ground improvement as an economical substitute for piling where appropriate.\u201d<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

Menard is an international specialty ground improvement construction company based in France, and part of Vinci Construction. Menard works across North America and internationally, operating in more than 80 countries providing ground improvement services. Menard\u2019s techniques include wick drains, earthquake (EQ) drains, Controlled Modulus Column (CMC)\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0rigid inclusions, stone columns, dynamic compaction, rapid impact compaction, and soil mixing. Typical projects include support of warehouses, buildings, material storage piles, processing areas, embankments, roadways, port facilities, storage tanks, containment structures, and relieving platforms.\u00a0<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

Like Menard, Farrell safely delivers a wide range of quality services including stone columns, aggregate piers,\u00a0rapid impact compaction, auger cast piling, drill displacement piles, rapid vibro compaction, micro piles and helical piles. Its trademarked services include both Auger Cast Column\u2122 and Drill Displacement Column\u2122 – similar to Controlled Modulus Columns\u00a0(CMC)\u00ae<\/sup>.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

Farrell began with a dream by Tom Farrell, who aspired to build a company that serves its people and customers. From its origins as a general contractor in the 1980s, Farrell\u2019s evolution, innovation and expertise as a leading specialty geotechnical contractor supports many owner\u2019s investments in California. Farrell has delivered more than 20 years of ground improvement and foundation design, engineering and construction in California. Farrell says, \u201cThe Farrell motto\u00a0Go Vertical with Confidence\u00ae\u00a0<\/i>is our goal for all of our customer\u2019s projects and now we get to share that goal with Menard USA.\u201d<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

Since 2005, Menard has expanded from its corporate office in the Pittsburgh area to offices in Baltimore\/Washington, DC; Boston; Charleston, S.C.; Chicago; Cleveland, Cranford, N.J.; Houston; Minneapolis; New Orleans; Philadelphia; Richmond, Va.; Syracuse; Tampa and Wilmington, N.C. After decentralizing its regional operational management structure in 2018, Menard USA\u2019s revenue has grown significantly to greater than $150 million in 2021.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

\u201cThe bottom line,\u201d said Pearlman, \u201cis that we were not on the West Coast. Now we are \u2013 and we have a great partner in Farrell in this highly-active region of the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
