“Our partnership with Compass group is the catalyst for our expansion of new bridge inspection equipment, rental fleet and certification services globally,” said Kelly Majeskie, CEO at Anderson UnderBridge. “The breadth of investment needed in our bridge infrastructure across North America is significant, and we now have the capital and support necessary to grow our presence and capabilities to meet the demand of inspections as well as construction.”

“We are thrilled to partner with the Anderson team as they enter a new growth phase,” said Compass Group Vice President, John Hubert. “As we expand manufacturing capabilities and grow our rental footprint of under-bridge equipment and related services, the team will also be evaluating acquisition opportunities to bolster the service offering to establish Anderson as the premier, one-stop-shop for critical infrastructure equipment and services.”

The nation’s backlog for bridge repairs is estimated at $125 billion, and the passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law allocates over $40 billion in funding for bridge projects.
