SUMMARY

This summary highlights information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. This summary may not contain all of the information that may be important to you. We urge you to read this entire prospectus carefully, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, the “Risk Factors” section and the other information incorporated by reference in this prospectus, before making an investment decision. All references in this prospectus to “InfraSource Services,” “InfraSource,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” “our company” or “our” refer to InfraSource Services, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, except where it is clear that such terms mean only InfraSource Services, Inc. We operate through two segments: Infrastructure Construction Services (“ICS”) and Telecommunication Services (“TS”).

InfraSource Services, Inc.

We are one of the largest specialty contractors servicing electric, natural gas and telecommunications infrastructure in the United States based on market share. Our broad range of services includes design, engineering, procurement, construction, testing and maintenance services for electric, natural gas and telecommunications infrastructure. The following chart depicts our revenue mix by end market for the twelve months ended March 31, 2006:

Our customers rely on us to design, construct and maintain reliable electric, natural gas and other utility infrastructure. Within our electric power end market, our primary focus for growth is on higher-voltage transmission lines and substations, rather than lower-voltage distribution lines. We believe we are able to combine our broad geographic footprint, integrated service offerings, skilled workforce and experienced management team to deliver a compelling value proposition to our customers. Our customers primarily include electric power utilities, independent transmission companies, natural gas utilities, government entities and heavy industrial companies, such as petrochemical, processing and refining businesses. We also lease point-to-point telecommunications infrastructure in select markets and provide fiber-to-the-premises, or FTTP, build-out services to telecommunications companies.

Our blanket master service agreements and new construction projects provide a balanced mix of recurring and project-based work. The broad range of customers we service, geographic regions in which we operate and industries in which we participate provides us with diversified revenues, and our backlog provides us with high revenue visibility. For the year ended December 31, 2005 and the three months ended March 31, 2006, we had revenues of $865.5 million and $217.2 million, respectively. Our backlog was approximately $932 million at March 31, 2006, of which we expect to perform approximately $550 million to $575 million during the last three quarters of 2006.

Industry Trends

We believe growth in our end markets will benefit from the following principal factors:

Inadequacy of Current Electric Infrastructure.   The electric utility infrastructure in the United States will require significant spending to remedy historical underinvestment and to respond to increasing electricity demand. The increase in demand for electricity and growth in electric power generation capacity have outpaced the increase in transmission infrastructure expenditures. This relative underinvestment has contributed to the current inadequacy of the electric power grid, leading to increasing congestion and major disruptions. The 2002 National Transmission Grid Study prepared by the United States Department of Energy, or DOE, along with studies developed by various industry groups have documented the inadequacies of the existing transmission grid. These inadequacies, as demonstrated by the disruptions caused by the rolling blackouts in California in 2001 and the Midwest/Northeast power outage in 2003, contributed to the passage of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (the “Energy Act”). Transmission reliability and access is a significant area of focus of the Energy Act. Recent reliability events, near misses and regional forecasts of tight summer power supplies continue to highlight the inadequacy of the electric utility infrastructure.

In May 2005, a survey of investor-owned utilities indicated that their transmission investments from 2004 to 2008 are expected to increase 60% over the previous five years. There continue to be frequent announcements of transmission expansion plans by utilities and regional planning organizations. Recent surveys and studies have confirmed that the anticipated increase in transmission investment is beginning to occur.

Enactment of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 Mandates Transmission Reliability and Encourages Investment.   The Energy Act was enacted on August 8, 2005 and provides several measures designed to increase grid reliability and stimulate investment in transmission infrastructure. The Energy Act mandates establishment of an Electric Reliability Organization, subject to oversight by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”), to develop and enforce minimum standards of reliability. The Energy Act also repeals the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, or PUHCA. The repeal removes significant restrictions on industry investment and could change the ownership landscape of transmission-owning entities by allowing new classes of non-utility investors. Progress is being made on the implementation of Energy Act provisions pertaining to electric transmission reliability and development.

Increased Outsourcing of Infrastructure Services.   Driven in part by pressures from investors, regulators and consumer advocates, utilities are seeking ways to lower costs and improve efficiencies. Utilities are frequently able to achieve these objectives by outsourcing a range of services to third parties. Specialty contractors can manage their labor force across various projects and multiple customers, often in a more efficient and cost-effective manner than utilities maintaining dedicated full-time labor forces. Furthermore, a shrinking pool of qualified labor may provide additional incentive to shift utility infrastructure services to specialty contractors. According to industry research, approximately 50% of the utility labor force is expected to retire by 2010. A separate report from an industry association noted that “skilled trades,” including line, maintenance and construction trade workers, are viewed as having the highest percentage of retirements over the next five years. As a result, many utilities are increasing their reliance on third-party service providers to perform infrastructure services.

Spending Driven by Environmental Clean Air Regulations.   Increasingly stringent environmental clean air regulations, primarily in the hydrocarbon processing and power generation sectors, require renewed compliance efforts. Many electric utilities have announced plans for significant investment in physical plant improvements, retrofits and upgrades to reduce harmful emissions at existing plants. We believe that this work will primarily be performed by third-party infrastructure services companies similar to us and may provide additional opportunities for companies with our relevant experience. Additionally, states continue to require that increased amounts of renewable energy be included in the portfolio of generation being

used to meet demand, with 22 states and the District of Columbia having passed such legislation. We believe that these mandates are combining with high natural gas prices, environmental concerns and certain provisions of the Energy Act to foster growth in wind generation and the development of related transmission infrastructure.

Increasing Demand for High-Bandwidth Communications Infrastructure.   Individuals and businesses continue to seek faster and higher-bandwidth communications infrastructure. We provide FTTP build-out services to select telecommunications companies, and through our TS segment we also own proprietary dark fiber networks providing point-to-point connectivity in select markets in the United States.

Competitive Strengths

Diversified Business Mix Provides a Balance of Recurring and Project-Based Revenues.   We believe our business mix complements growth opportunities provided by our strong positions in select end markets, including electric power, natural gas and telecommunications. Revenues generated from our distribution services are generally more predictable than our transmission project work because expenditures on distribution tend to be more stable, whereas our transmission work provides us access to what we believe is a higher growth market. In addition, we believe we are well positioned to benefit from increases in transmission spending, as we are one of a small number of specialty contractors with the size, comprehensive capabilities and experience to adequately address the complex requirements of large-scale electric transmission projects. We believe our end market mix and balance of recurring and project-based work provide significant revenue diversification.

Ability to Provide Broad Range of Services in Multiple Territories.   We believe that customers in our end markets are increasingly seeking to improve their efficiencies by contracting with fewer service providers that can rapidly and effectively design, construct and maintain their infrastructure, in some cases across multiple geographic regions. We believe we are one of the few utility infrastructure service providers capable of meeting a broad range of service needs in multiple service territories. We believe these capabilities are particularly advantageous because many of our competitors are small, regional firms.

Strong Reputation for Project Execution and Safety.   Our reputation as a premier service contractor has been built on an excellent performance record of delivering projects on time, on budget and to customer specifications. Most of our operating companies have been building this reputation for decades. Our strong reputation is reflected in our long-standing relationships with many of our major customers. In addition, our safety record has historically been better than industry averages, which provides us with a competitive advantage in bidding for many projects.

Highly Skilled and Flexible Workforce.   We have an experienced and skilled workforce trained to handle technically complex projects, including high-voltage electric power transmission work and specialized subsurface work. In addition, we are generally able to quickly vary the size of our workforce to efficiently staff our projects and to meet the needs of our customers. This provides us with a variable cost structure that permits us to effectively respond to changes in demand for our services. Moreover, our labor force consists of both union and non-union personnel, which enables us to satisfy the varied labor requirements of customers in our end markets.

Financial Strength and Access to Surety Markets.   Financial strength is often an important consideration for customers in selecting service providers. We believe our diverse revenue base, attractive operating margins and strong balance sheet contribute to our financial strength, which provides us with an advantage over many of our competitors. In addition, our financial strength, combined with our reputation and experience, improves our access to surety bonding to support our projects.

Experienced Management Team.   We have a strong management team with extensive industry experience. The key members of our senior management team have worked in the utility or contracting industries for most of their careers and average over 22 years of industry experience.

Business Strategy

Capitalize on Favorable Industry Trends in Utility Infrastructure Markets.   We believe we are well positioned to capitalize on increased spending on utility infrastructure and increased outsourcing by customers in our end markets. In particular, we believe that the Energy Act could lead to increasing focus on and investment in electric power transmission infrastructure and that our experience in executing complex large-scale electric transmission projects will enable us to take advantage of opportunities in this market.

Increase Our Market Share.   We intend to leverage our competitive strengths to increase our market share by:

·       gaining a greater share of our existing customers’ spending for outsourced services that we currently provide to them;

·       expanding cross-selling of additional services to our existing customers;

·       obtaining business from new customers in the territories we currently serve; and

·       introducing services to new and existing customers in regions we do not currently serve.

Focus on Specialized Services that Generate High Margins.   We intend to continue to increase our focus on technically complex projects where the specialized capabilities of our highly skilled personnel differentiates us from many of our competitors. For example, turnkey substation services and high voltage transmission systems are among our core competencies. Our expertise in these areas enables us to generate attractive margins while providing high quality and cost effective services for our customers. In addition, we intend to expand our telecommunications services to other cities and acquire dark fiber assets for this purpose where available. We also intend to continue exiting or renegotiating certain contracts in the natural gas industry that do not meet our profitability standards.

Capitalize on Complementary Capabilities of our Operating Units.   In our ICS segment, we actively seek contract opportunities that allow us to utilize the skills, labor or equipment of our individual operating companies rather than outsource work to non-affiliate contractors. For example, our subsidiary M.J. Electric, Inc. is utilizing employees from our InfraSource Transmission Services Company, or ITS, subsidiary to assist in foundation work for an electric utility contract, and we are utilizing our Dashiell Corporation subsidiary to assist in substation engineering and construction work for ITS and M.J. Electric, Inc.

Expand our Dark Fiber Network.   We intend to significantly expand our dark fiber network through organic expansion into additional regions of the country and also through acquisition of fiber assets and businesses which are similar to ours. We signed leases in two new states in the fourth quarter of 2005 and have targeted several other areas for expansion during 2006 and 2007. More than half of our budgeted capital spending for 2006 is targeted at new dark fiber network construction.

Pursue Strategic Acquisitions.   Although we do not consider acquisitions fundamental to the achievement of our objectives, we intend to evaluate and pursue acquisition opportunities to bolster our presence in select regional markets or to broaden and enhance our service offerings. For example, our acquisitions of ITS in early 2004 and EHV Power Corporation, or EHV, in November 2005 expanded our capabilities to perform large, high-voltage transmission projects and cross-sell other services across a larger territory. Future acquisitions may, among other things, focus on expanding our presence in our ICS segment and acquiring additional dark fiber assets in our TS segment in targeted metropolitan areas.

Risks Related to Our Business and Strategy

Although we believe that focusing on the key areas set forth above will provide us with opportunities to reach our goals, there are a number of risks and uncertainties that may affect our financial and operating performance, including that:

·       our ability to obtain new contracts and the timing of the award and performance of such contracts may result in unpredictable fluctuations in our cash flow and profitability;

·       demand for our services is cyclical and vulnerable to downturns in the industries we serve, which may result in extended periods of low demand for our services;

·       our participation in fixed-price contracts could result in contract losses, which could reduce our profitability;

·       our use of percentage-of-completion accounting could result in a reduction or elimination of previously reported profits;

·       we derive a significant portion of our revenue from a small group of customers, the loss of one or more of which could negatively impact our revenues and profits;

·       our inability to hire or retain key personnel could disrupt our business;

·       skilled labor shortages and increased labor costs could negatively affect our ability to compete for new projects;

·       the Energy Act may fail to spur the anticipated increased investment in electric infrastructure, which could slow our growth;

·       seasonal and other variations, including severe weather conditions, may cause significant fluctuations in our cash flows and profitability, which may cause the market price of our common stock to fall in certain periods;

·       our backlog may not be realized or may not result in profits; our customers often have no obligation to assign work to us and many of our contracts may be terminated on short notice;

·       project delays or cancellations, including as a result of difficulties in engineering, equipment and material delivery, schedule changes and other factors, may result in additional costs to us, reductions in revenues or the payment of liquidated damages; and

·       if we are not successful in integrating companies that we acquire or have acquired, we may not achieve the expected benefits and our profitability could suffer.

In addition to the preceding risks, you should also consider the risks discussed under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in, or incorporated by reference in, this prospectus, including the risks discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2006 and our other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Corporate Information

We are a Delaware corporation formed in May 2003 by our principal stockholders to acquire InfraSource Incorporated and certain of its subsidiaries from Exelon Enterprises Company, LLC, or Exelon. InfraSource Incorporated was originally organized in 1999, and between 1999 and January 2001 InfraSource Incorporated acquired its operating subsidiaries. Our principal stockholders are OCM/GFI Power Opportunities Fund, L.P., which is co-managed by Oaktree Capital Management, LLC (“Oaktree”) and GFI Energy Ventures LLC, and OCM Principal Opportunities Fund II, L.P., which is managed by Oaktree. These stockholders are referred to in this prospectus as our “principal stockholders.” Our

5

acquisition of InfraSource Incorporated on September 24, 2003 is referred to as the “Merger.” On May 12, 2004, we completed our initial public offering, or IPO, of 8,500,000 shares of common stock. On March 24, 2006, our principal stockholders and other stockholders completed a secondary underwritten public offering of 13,000,000 shares of our common stock, and on April 12, 2006, sold an additional 1,950,000 shares of our common stock following the exercise, in full, of the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase additional shares. As of the date of this prospectus, our principal stockholders hold approximately 27.2% of our common stock. Our principal stockholders will hold approximately    % of our outstanding common stock after giving effect to this offering (   % if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full).

In 2004, we acquired Maslonka & Associates, Inc., which we re-branded as ITS, a high-voltage aerial electric transmission line constructor, and Utili-Trax Contracting Partnerships, LLC, or Utili-Trax, which provides underground and overhead construction services for electric cooperatives and municipal utilities throughout the upper Midwest. We also acquired certain operating companies of EnStructure Corporation, which provide construction services within the utilities and oil and gas markets throughout the Midwestern, Southern and Southeastern regions of the United States. ITS, Utili-Trax and the EnStructure companies are all part of our ICS segment. During 2004, we completed the sale of our telecommunications craft services business, which was part of our TS segment. During 2005, we sold substantially all of the assets of Utility Locate & Mapping Services, Inc. and Electric Services, Inc., which were part of our ICS segment. In November 2005, we acquired EHV, a Canadian company that specializes in splicing of underground high voltage electric transmission cables.

We operate through two business segments. Our principal segment, ICS, provides design, engineering, procurement, construction, testing and maintenance services for utility infrastructure. Our ICS customers include electric power utilities, natural gas utilities, telecommunication customers, government entities and heavy industrial companies, such as petrochemical, processing and refining businesses. Our ICS services are provided by four of our operating units, all of which have been aggregated into one reportable segment due to their similar economic characteristics, customer bases, products and production and distribution methods. Our TS segment, consisting of a single operating unit, leases point-to-point telecommunications infrastructure in select markets and provides design, procurement, construction and maintenance services for telecommunications infrastructure. Our TS customers include communication service providers, large industrial and financial services companies, school districts and other entities with high bandwidth telecommunication needs. Within our TS segment, we are regulated as a public telecommunication utility in various states. We operate in multiple service territories throughout the United States and do not have significant operations or assets in countries outside the United States.

(1)          Represents fees and expenses related to the Merger, including severance and retention costs and professional service fees.

(2)          For the year ended December 31, 2005, amounts include a $10.1 million loss, after giving effect to assumed claims collections, relating to one of our underground utility construction projects.

(3)          We believe investors’ understanding of our operating performance is enhanced by disclosing the following non-GAAP financial measures:

·        EBITA from continuing operations before extraordinary items, net (“EBITA from continuing operations”), which we define as net income before discontinued operations, income tax expense, interest expense, interest income and amortization;

·        EBITA from continuing operations, as adjusted (“EBITA as adjusted”), which we define as EBITA from continuing operations, adjusted for certain significant items that, in management’s opinion, are not indicative of our core operating performance;

·        EBITDA from continuing operations before extraordinary items, net (“EBITDA from continuing operations”), which we define as EBITA from continuing operations before depreciation; and

·        EBITDA from continuing operations, as adjusted (“EBITDA as adjusted”), which we define as EBITA, as adjusted before depreciation.

The significant non-core items for the periods shown and the reasons we adjust for them are discussed in more detail in the table and associated footnotes below. We believe it is helpful to an understanding of our business to assess the effects of these items on our results of operations in order to evaluate our

10

---

performance from period to period on a more consistent basis. This presentation should not be construed as an indication that similar charges will not recur or that our future results will be unaffected by other charges and gains we consider to be outside the ordinary course of our business.

A reconciliation of EBITA from continuing operations, EBITA as adjusted, EBITDA from continuing operations and EBITDA as adjusted to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP performance measure, is provided below:

(a)           We present these non-GAAP financial measures primarily as supplemental performance measures because we believe they facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company as they exclude certain items that we believe are not representative of our core operations. In addition, we believe that these measures are used by financial analysts as measures of our financial performance and that of other companies in our industry. Because EBITA from continuing operations, EBITDA from continuing operations, EBITA as adjusted and EBITDA as adjusted facilitate internal comparisons of our historical financial position and operating performance on a more consistent basis, we also use these measures for business planning and analysis purposes, in measuring our performance relative to that of our competitors and/or in evaluating

11

---

acquisition opportunities. In addition, we use certain of these measures in establishing incentive compensation goals and/or determining compliance with covenants in our senior credit facility. We use EBITA from continuing operations and EBITA as adjusted in addition to our other non-GAAP measures because they include all aspects of our equipment charges, including both operating leases and depreciation from owned equipment. We believe these are important measures for analyzing our performance because they eliminate the variation related to lease versus purchase decisions on capital equipment. Because EBITA from continuing operations, EBITDA from continuing operations, EBITA as adjusted and EBITDA as adjusted have limitations as analytical tools, you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

·         these measures do not reflect our cash expenditures for capital purchases or contractual commitments;

·         although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and these measures do not reflect cash requirements for such replacements;

·         these measures do not reflect the non-cash costs of our stock-based compensation plans, which are an on-going component of our executive compensation program;

·         these measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on, our indebtedness;

·         EBITA as adjusted and EBITDA as adjusted do not necessarily reflect adjustments for all earnings or charges resulting from matters that we may consider not to be indicative of our core operations; and

·         other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

(b)           In September 2003, in connection with the Merger and as a result of the separation of our company from Exelon, we had a new actuarial analysis performed to assist us in estimating our self-insurance accruals as a stand-alone entity. As a result of this revised analysis and an increase in data available for loss history, we revised our estimate and increased our insurance reserve by $8.7 million for losses attributable to periods prior to 2003.

(c)            In connection with the Merger, we incurred $16.2 million of expenses in 2003, including severance and retention costs and professional service fees.

(d)          We recognized a $3.8 million charge for an adverse litigation judgment entered in January 2004 related to a proposed 1999 acquisition. In March 2005, the court reversed the $3.8 million judgment against us, and we reversed the $3.8 million charge at that time. In April 2005, the plaintiff filed a petition for review and reversal, which was denied on September 19, 2005.

(e)           In 2004, we incurred expenses related to our initial public offering, primarily for audit and legal fees. In 2006, we incurred similar expenses relating to the secondary underwritten public offering that our principal stockholders and other stockholders completed earlier this year. We do not expect to recognize similar expenses relating to this offering because our principal stockholders have agreed to pay, pro rata based on the number of shares sold, the expenses incurred by us in connection with this offering.

(f)             Concurrent with the closing of our 2004 initial public offering, we extinguished our $30.0 million subordinated note to Exelon early and recorded a loss in the amount of $5.5 million in the second quarter. In the fourth quarter of 2004, we recorded a $1.1 million reduction to loss on early extinguishment of debt expense for accrued interest that was forgiven pursuant to our arrangement with Exelon.

(g)           We are required to amortize compensation expense for restricted stock granted to certain selling parties in the ITS acquisition in connection with a purchase price settlement. The amortization for this restricted stock grant was $103,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and will continue through 2009. In addition, in 2006, stock based compensation expense was recognized for the first time under SFAS 123R relating to the vesting of stock options and expenses related to our Employee Stock Purchase Plan. These expenses will continue to vary from period to period based on the amount and timing of grants, and management believes it is useful to consider our operating performance before the impact of these non-cash expenses. We intend to continue to adjust for these charges in our future non-GAAP presentations.

RISK FACTORS

Before deciding to invest in our common stock, you should carefully consider each of the following risk factors and all of the other information set forth in this prospectus and incorporated herein by reference. The following risks and the risks described elsewhere in, or incorporated by reference in, this prospectus, including in Item 1A and the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2006, could materially harm our business, financial condition, future results and cash flow. If that occurs, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also adversely affect our business.

Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry

Our ability to obtain new contracts and the timing of the award and performance of any such contracts may result in unpredictable fluctuations in our cash flow and profitability.

A substantial portion of our revenues is derived from project-based work. It is generally very difficult to predict whether and when we will be awarded contracts for significant projects, resulting in unpredictability in our cash flow and profitability. We expect to have a higher percentage of revenues from large-scale projects going forward, further exacerbating the unpredictability of our operating results.

In certain circumstances, customers require us to provide credit enhancements, including surety bonds, letters of credit and, in rare instances, cash collateral, which we may be unable to satisfactorily obtain or provide, placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to providers with more liquidity. In addition, to the extent such credit enhancements are provided, our liquidity could be significantly reduced, which may negatively impact our ability to secure additional contracts.

Even if we are awarded contracts, we face additional risks that could affect whether, or when, work will begin. For example, some of our contracts are subject to financing and other contingencies that may delay or result in termination of projects. The uncertainty of our contract award timing can also present difficulties in matching workforce size with contract needs. In some cases, we maintain and bear the cost of a ready workforce that is larger than necessary in anticipation of future workforce needs for expected contract awards. If an expected contract award is delayed or not received, we could incur substantial costs without receipt of any corresponding revenues. Delays by our customers in obtaining required approvals for their infrastructure projects may delay their awarding contracts for those projects and, once awarded, the ability to commence construction under those contracts.

Demand for our services is cyclical and vulnerable to downturns in the industries we serve, which may result in extended periods of low demand for our services.

The demand for infrastructure services in the industries we serve has been, and will likely continue to be, cyclical in nature and vulnerable to general downturns in the U.S. economy. A number of other factors, including financial conditions in the industries we serve, could adversely affect our customers and their ability or willingness to fund capital expenditures in the future. For example, we have experienced reductions in our revenues from independent power producers since 2003, which reflect the significant decline in construction activity and new construction awards for power generation projects. The demand for our services to natural gas distribution customers is affected by the level of industrial, commercial and residential construction in the geographic areas we serve. For example, the recent downturn in new housing construction in certain regions has had a negative impact on demand from some of our natural gas distribution customers. In addition, our petrochemical customers’ demand has recently been restrained by the impact of high natural gas prices. We are also dependent on the amount of infrastructure services that our customers outsource. During downturns in the economy, our customers may determine to outsource fewer projects resulting in

13

---

decreased demand for our services. In addition, the historical trend toward outsourcing of infrastructure services may not continue as we expect. As a result, demand for our services could decline substantially for extended periods, particularly during economic downturns, which could decrease our revenues, margins, profits and cash flows.

Our participation in fixed-price contracts could result in contract losses, which could reduce our profitability.

We currently generate, and expect to continue to generate, the majority of our revenues under fixed-price contracts. Under fixed-price contracts, we agree to perform the entire project for a fixed price on an agreed upon schedule. We may be unable to recover any cost overruns above the approved contract price. For example, in the past, we have experienced delays and additional costs from severe weather conditions and the required replacement of third-party defective materials, which we were unable to recover. We have recorded a $10.1 million loss after giving effect to assumed claims collections, on one of our fixed-price underground utility construction projects. The loss resulted from lower than expected productivity, higher materials costs and unforeseen delays. These and other factors, such as increased fuel and labor costs, could adversely affect our profitability on fixed price contracts. The claims resolution process is often lengthy, can require legal action to conclude and the ultimate amount to be collected is difficult to estimate. Our actual revenue and profit for any particular project will usually differ from those we originally estimated and could result in reduced profitability or losses on the project. Depending on the size of a particular project, variations from the estimated contract costs can have a significant impact on our operating results for any fiscal quarter or year. Our acquisition of ITS has resulted in an increase in the proportion of our fixed-price contracts, as most of ITS’s business is performed on a fixed-price basis. We expect that industry trends will also increase the proportion of our fixed-price contracts.

Our use of percentage-of-completion accounting could result in a reduction or elimination of previously reported profits.

As more fully discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2006 under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” and in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, all of which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus, a significant portion of our revenues are recognized on a percentage-of-completion method of accounting, using primarily the cost-to-cost method. This method is used because management considers expended costs to be the best available measure of progress on our fixed-price contracts. The percentage-of-completion accounting practice we use results in our recognizing contract revenues and earnings over the contract term in proportion to our incurrence of contract costs. The earnings or losses recognized on individual contracts are based on estimates of contract revenues, costs and profitability. Estimated contract losses for the full term of the contract are recognized when determined, regardless of where we are in the contract cycle, and contract profit estimates are adjusted based on ongoing reviews of contract profitability. For example, we recognized a loss of $8.5 million during the second quarter of 2005 which has increased to $10.1 million as of March 31, 2006, after giving effect to assumed claims collections, for a project that began in January 2005 and was substantially completed in November 2005. For any estimated contract loss, the actual final loss is generally based on the amount of claims we submit to, and successfully collect from the customer. Therefore, our ultimate loss may exceed our estimates. We record revenue up to costs incurred on claims and unapproved change orders when we believe recovery is probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Profit related to those costs is recorded in the period such amounts are agreed to with the customer. The timing and amount of actual collection of claims and unapproved change orders could differ from estimates, could take longer than anticipated and could result in a reduction or elimination of previously recognized earnings. In certain circumstances, it is possible that such adjustments could be significant. Further, a substantial portion of our contracts contain various cost and performance incentives. Penalties are recorded when known or

14

---

finalized, which is generally during the latter stages of the contract. As of March 31, 2006, we had $3.9 million of unrecovered contract claims booked on our balance sheet under “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings.” Claims settlements less than the $3.9 million balance would result in a reduction of our profits.

We derive a significant portion of our revenue from a small group of customers. The loss of one or more of these customers could negatively impact our revenues.

Our top ten customers accounted for approximately 46%, 45% and 42% of our revenues for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005 and the three months ended March 31, 2006, respectively, which includes work performed for those customers as a subcontractor through others. Revenues from Exelon accounted for 17%, 18% and 17% of our revenues for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005 and the three months ended March 31, 2006, respectively. In September 2003, we entered into a volume agreement with Exelon, pursuant to which Exelon committed to provide us with a level of work roughly equivalent to the amount of work which we would have received through 2006 if 2003 work levels remained constant. The actual volume of work received from Exelon under the volume agreement has been significantly higher than 2003 levels; therefore, the volume requirements set forth in the volume agreement were satisfied in the fourth quarter of 2005. We may be unable to sustain our volume of business with Exelon without the benefit of the volume agreement. Exelon has recently indicated its intent to curtail expenditures to a level below that sustained in recent years. Exelon has also begun to modify its contracting practices and may seek alternative commercial arrangements with suppliers like us, including increased use of competitive bidding on certain projects. If we lose significant customers and are not able to replace them, we could sustain decreased revenues, margins and profits.

Our inability to hire or retain key personnel could disrupt our business.

We depend on the continued efforts of our executive officers and other members of our senior management, including management at each of our subsidiaries. We cannot be certain that any individual will continue in such capacity for any particular period of time. Industry-wide competition for managerial talent has increased and the loss of one or more of our key employees could have an adverse effect on our business. The loss of key personnel, or the inability to hire and retain qualified employees, could negatively impact our ability to manage our business. We generally do not carry key-person life insurance on our employees.

Skilled labor shortages and increased labor costs could negatively affect our ability to compete for new projects.

We have from time-to-time experienced shortages of certain types of qualified personnel. For example, there is a shortage of engineers and linemen capable of working on and supervising the construction of high-voltage electric lines and substations. This shortage can be exacerbated during periods of storm restoration work. Linemen are frequently recruited across geographic regions to satisfy demand, including for storm response work. The supply of experienced engineers, linemen and supervisors may not be sufficient to meet current or expected demand. Further, we may not be able to allocate or hire sufficient project managers for new electric power transmission projects. The commencement of new, large-scale infrastructure projects or increased demand for infrastructure improvements as well as the aging utility workforce further depletes the pool of skilled labor available to us, even if we are not awarded such projects. As a result, we are bidding selectively in all of our business units. We have recently declined to bid on certain projects that we could not staff adequately with experienced engineers, and in the future we may not be able to maintain an adequate skilled labor force necessary to operate efficiently or to pursue new projects we consider attractive.

The Energy Act may fail to spur the anticipated increased investment in electric infrastructure, which could slow our growth.

Implementation of the Energy Act is still subject to considerable fiscal and regulatory uncertainty. Many of the regulations implementing the components of the bill have not been finalized and many others have only recently been finalized, and the effect of these regulations is accordingly still uncertain. As a result, the legislation may not increase spending on electric power transmission infrastructure in a manner that will increase demand for our services. In addition, the timing of any new infrastructure investments remains uncertain. Continued uncertainty regarding the implementation and impact of the Energy Act may result in slower growth in demand for our services.

Seasonal and other variations, including severe weather conditions, may cause significant fluctuations in our cash flows and profitability, which may cause the market price of our common stock to fall in certain periods.

A significant portion of our business is performed outdoors, subjecting our results of operations to seasonal variations. Less work is performed by us in the winter months, and work is hindered during other inclement weather events. Our profitability often decreases during the winter months and during severe weather conditions because work performed during these periods is more costly to complete. Our working capital needs are influenced by the seasonality of our business. Generally, we experience a need for additional working capital during the spring when we increase our level of outdoor construction in weather-affected regions of the country, and we convert working capital assets to cash during the winter months. In addition, during periods of peak electricity demand, utilities generally are unable to remove their electric power transmission and distribution equipment from service, decreasing the demand for our maintenance services during these periods. Significant disruptions in our ability to perform services because of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows and results of operations.

Our backlog may not be realized or may not result in profits. Our customers often have no obligation to assign work to us and many of our contracts may be terminated on short notice.

Our backlog may not be realized as revenue or, if realized, may not result in profits. Backlog is often difficult to determine with certainty. In addition, the backlog we obtain in connection with any companies we acquire may not be as large as we believed or may not result in the revenue we expected. Reductions in backlog due to cancellation by a customer or for other reasons could significantly reduce the revenue and profit we actually receive from contracts included in backlog. In the event of a project cancellation, we may be reimbursed for certain costs but typically have no contractual right to the total revenues reflected in our backlog. In addition, projects may remain in our backlog for extended periods of time. We cannot assure you as to our customers’ requirements or our estimates.

Certain of our customers assign work to us under master service agreements, or MSAs. Under these arrangements, our customers generally have no obligation to assign work to us. Most of our contracts, including our MSAs, may be terminated by our customers on short notice, typically 30 to 90 days, sometimes less, or may be negatively impacted by the utilities’ inability to recover their costs in the rates they are authorized to charge their customers. Moreover, our reported backlog includes estimated work to be performed under these agreements. Our backlog may not be realized as revenues if these contracts are cancelled. In addition, many of our contracts, including our MSAs, are open to competitive bidding at the expiration of their terms. As a result, we have been displaced on contracts by competitors from time to time. Our revenues could materially decline if our customers do not assign work to us or if they cancel a significant number of contracts and we cannot replace them with similar contracts.

Project delays or cancellations may result in additional costs to us, reductions in revenues or the payment of liquidated damages.

In certain circumstances, we guarantee project completion by a scheduled acceptance date or achievement of certain acceptance and performance testing levels. Failure to meet any of these schedules or performance requirements could result in additional costs or penalties, including liquidated damages, and these amounts could exceed expected project profit margins. Many of our projects involve challenging engineering, procurement and construction phases that may occur over extended time periods, sometimes up to two years. We may encounter difficulties in engineering, equipment and material delivery, schedule changes, weather-related delays and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, that impact our ability to complete the project in accordance with the original delivery schedule. For example, the recent increase in demand for transmission services has strained production resources, creating significant lead times for obtaining transmission towers and poles. As a result, our electric transmission project revenues could be significantly reduced or delayed due to the difficulty we or our customers may experience in obtaining required materials. In addition, we occasionally contract with third-party subcontractors to assist us with the completion of contracts. Any delay by suppliers or by subcontractors in the completion of their portion of the project, or any failure by a subcontractor to satisfactorily complete its portion of the project may result in delays in the overall progress of the project or may cause us to incur additional costs, or both. We also may encounter project delays due to local public opposition against the siting of transmission lines or other facilities, which may include injunctive actions as well as public protests. For example, the construction of the Arrowhead to Weston transmission line project between Minnesota and Wisconsin was delayed for several years due to such factors, and some delays in this project continue to occur.

Delays and additional costs may be substantial and, in some cases, we may be required to compensate the project customer for these delays. We may not be able to recover all of these costs. In extreme cases, the above-mentioned factors could cause project cancellations, and we may not be able to replace such projects with similar projects or at all. Such delays or cancellations may impact our reputation or our relationships with customers, making it more difficult for us to secure new contracts.

In addition, our project contracts may require that our customers or other parties provide us with design or engineering information or with equipment or materials to be used on a project. In some cases, we may be provided with deficient design or engineering information or equipment or provided with information or equipment later than required by the project schedule. Our customers may also determine, after commencement of the project, to change various elements of the project. Under these circumstances, we generally negotiate with the customer with respect to the amount of additional time required and the compensation to be paid to us. We are subject to the risk that we may be unable to obtain, through negotiation, arbitration, litigation or otherwise, adequate amounts to compensate us for the additional work or expenses incurred by us due to customer-requested change orders or failure by the customer to timely provide items required to be provided by the customer. A failure to obtain adequate compensation for these matters could require us to record a reduction to amounts of revenue and gross profit that were recognized in prior periods under the percentage-of-completion accounting method. Any such adjustments could be substantial.

Provisions of our credit facility restrict our business operations and may restrict our access to sufficient funding, including letters of credit, to finance desired growth.

We have a credit facility with a group of financial institutions secured by substantially all of our assets. The credit facility contains customary events of default and covenants that limit us from taking certain actions without obtaining the consent of the lenders. In addition, our credit facility requires us to achieve certain financial ratios as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2006 under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and

17

---

Capital Resources.” These restrictions and covenants may limit our ability to respond to changing business and economic conditions and we may be prevented from engaging in transactions that might otherwise be considered beneficial to us, including strategic acquisitions. Covenants in our credit facility also restrict our ability to incur indebtedness, subject to certain exceptions, including domestic intercompany indebtedness, guarantee obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business, up to $20.0 million of secured indebtedness incurred to acquire fixed or capital assets, indebtedness with respect to performance bonds, letters of credit and similar obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business, and up to $40.0 million of additional indebtedness. We had $53.0 million of availability under the revolving credit portion of our credit facility as of March 31, 2006 (after giving effect to $32.0 million of outstanding letters of credit under the credit facility at that date). In the future, we may require substantial additional working capital to fund our growth. However, there is no assurance that we will be able expand availability under our credit agreement or obtain other sources of liquidity in a timely manner, at favorable cost or at all.

Our business frequently requires us to post letters of credit, which reduces availability under the revolving credit portion of our credit facility. If we are required to post letters of credit in excess of the $68.0 million sublimit in effect as of March 31, 2006 under our credit facility, we would be required either to increase this sublimit or cash collateralize the letters of credit. We cannot assure you that we would be able to increase the sublimit under our credit facility or that we would have sufficient cash to obtain the required letters of credit.

A breach of our credit facility, including our inability to comply with the required financial ratios, could result in an event of default. Upon an event of default under our credit facility, the lenders would be entitled to accelerate the repayment of amounts outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Moreover, the lenders would have the option to terminate any obligation to make further extensions of credit under our credit facility. Upon the event of a default under any of our secured indebtedness, including our credit facility which is secured by substantially all of our assets, the lenders could proceed to foreclose against the assets securing such obligations. In the event of a foreclosure on all or substantially all of our assets, we may not be able to continue to operate as a going concern.

On June 10, 2005, while in the process of evaluating the extent of the loss for an underground utility construction project, we obtained a Second Amendment and Waiver to our credit facility which excluded the effect of the anticipated loss in certain of our representations and warranties and waived any misrepresentation in our financial statements and covenant compliance certificates through July 25, 2005 to the extent resulting therefrom. Based on our further evaluation of the loss, estimated to be $10.1 million as of March 31, 2006, after giving effect to assumed claims collection, we are currently not required to enter into any further amendment or waiver of our credit facility with respect to such loss.

We are subject to acquisition risks. If we are not successful in integrating companies that we acquire or have acquired, we may not achieve the expected benefits and our profitability could suffer. In addition, the cost of evaluating and pursuing acquisitions may not result in a corresponding benefit.

One of our business strategies is to pursue strategic acquisitions. We completed several acquisitions during 2004 and 2005 and continue to consider strategic acquisitions now and plan to in the future, some of which may be larger than those previously completed and could be material acquisitions. Integrating acquisitions is often costly, and delays or other operational or financial problems may result that interfere with our operations. In addition, our operating subsidiaries have generally maintained their own procedures and operating systems, which make it more difficult for us to evaluate and integrate their systems and controls on a reliable company-wide basis. If we fail to implement proper overall business controls for companies we acquire or fail to successfully integrate these acquired companies in our processes, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, it is possible that we may incur significant expenses in the evaluation and pursuit of potential acquisitions and that such acquisitions may not be successfully completed. In these events, we may incur substantial costs

18

---

without any corresponding benefit. For example, during 2005 we incurred a $1.6 million charge related to due diligence costs for an acquisition that we chose not to complete. Other risks inherent in our acquisition strategy include diversion of management’s attention and resources, failure to retain key personnel and risks associated with unanticipated events or liabilities. In addition, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” we are required to test goodwill for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances exist which indicate that goodwill may be impaired. As a result of changes in circumstances after valuing assets in connection with acquisitions, we may be required to take writedowns of intangible assets, including goodwill, which could be significant.

We cannot be certain of the future effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting or the impact thereof on our operations or the market price of our common stock.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to include in our annual reports on Form 10-K our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. We cannot assure you that our system of internal controls will be effective in the future as our operations and control environment change. If we cannot adequately maintain the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, our financial reporting may be inaccurate. If reporting errors actually occur, we could be subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, such as the SEC. These results could adversely affect our financial results or the market price of our common stock.

We are evaluating the implementation of a company-wide Enterprise Resource Planning system which could disrupt our day-to-day operations temporarily.

We are developing a plan to implement a company-wide information technology system or Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system. The ERP system is intended to replace disparate individual information systems at our operating subsidiaries for functions such as accounting and finance, human resources and customer relationships with a common, uniform information system. Development and implementation of an ERP system would require substantial financial and personnel resources. While the ERP system is intended to improve and enhance our information systems, large scale implementation of new information systems across all of our operating companies exposes us to the risks of start up of the new system and integration of that system with our existing systems and processes, including possible disruption of our financial reporting. In addition, if we fail to implement the ERP system or fail to implement the ERP system successfully, we will have to continue to rely on the disparate information systems at our operating subsidiaries.

A significant portion of our business depends on our ability to obtain surety bonds. We may be unable to compete for or work on certain projects if we are not able to obtain the necessary surety bonds.

Surety market conditions are currently difficult as a result of significant losses incurred by many sureties in recent periods, both in the construction industry as well as in certain larger corporate bankruptcies. As a result, less bonding capacity is available in the market and terms have become more expensive and restrictive. We are required to post letters of credit to support our surety bond program. Further, under standard terms in the surety market, sureties issue bonds on a project-by-project basis and can decline to issue bonds at any time. Historically, approximately 10% to 20% of our annual volume of business, including a number of our fixed-price contracts, has required bonds. These percentages may increase depending on our mix of contracts. Current or future market conditions, as well as changes in our surety’s assessment of our operating and financial risk, could cause our surety provider to decline to issue, or substantially reduce the amount of, bonds for our work and could increase our bonding costs. These actions can be taken on short notice. If our surety provider were to limit or eliminate our access to bonding, our alternatives include seeking bonding capacity from other sureties, finding more business that does not require bonds and posting other forms of collateral for project performance, such as letters of

19

---

credit or cash. We may be unable to provide these alternatives in a timely manner, on acceptable terms or at all. Accordingly, if we were to experience an interruption or reduction in the availability of bonding capacity, we may be unable to compete for or work on certain projects.

Higher fuel prices and material costs may increase our cost of doing business, and we may not be able to pass those added costs to our customers.

Our spending on fuel has increased significantly over the last 12 months. Under our fixed-price contracts, we are limited in our ability to pass these higher fuel costs to our customers. In addition, even if we are able to incorporate the higher cost of fuel and materials into new project contracts, higher overall project costs may depress the market for large-scale infrastructure projects. Therefore, higher fuel and material costs may directly or indirectly negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to the risks associated with being a government contractor.

We are from time to time a provider of services to government agencies, primarily the DOE’s federal power marketing agencies, such as our recently completed contract with the Bonneville Power Administration. Therefore, we are exposed to the risks associated with government contracting. For example, a reduction in spending by government agencies could limit the continued funding of existing contracts with these agencies and could limit our ability to obtain additional contracts, which could result in lower revenues from these customers. The risks of government contracting also include the risk of civil and criminal fines and penalties for violations of applicable regulations and statutes and the risk of public scrutiny of our performance on high profile sites. In addition, our failure to comply with the terms of one or more of our government contracts, other government agreements or government regulations and statutes could result in our being suspended or barred from future government contract projects for a significant period of time.

In addition, government customers typically can terminate or modify their contracts with us at their convenience, and some of these government contracts are subject to renewal or extension annually. If a government customer terminates a contract or fails to renew or extend a contract, our backlog or revenue may be reduced or we may incur a loss, either of which could impair our financial condition and operating results. A termination due to our unsatisfactory performance could expose us to liability and adversely affect our ability to compete for future contracts and orders. In cases where we are a subcontractor, the prime contract could be terminated, regardless of the quality of our services as a subcontractor or our relationship with the relevant government agency. Our government customers can also reduce the value of existing contracts, issue modifications to a contract and control and potentially prohibit the export of our services and associated materials.

Our projects are subject to numerous hazards. If we do not maintain an adequate safety record, we may be ineligible to bid on certain projects, could be terminated from existing projects and could have difficulty procuring adequate insurance.

Hazards experienced as a result of our activities include electrocutions, fires, natural gas explosions, mechanical failure, transportation accidents and damage to equipment we work on. These hazards can cause and have caused personal injury and loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property and equipment and other consequential damages, including blackouts, and may result in suspension of operations, large damage claims, and, in extreme cases, criminal liability. At any given time, we are subject to multiple workers’ compensation and personal injury claims resulting from such hazards or other workplace accidents. We maintain substantial loss accruals for workers’ compensation claims. Our insurance does not cover all types or amounts of liabilities. Our third-party insurance is subject to large deductibles for which we establish reserves and, accordingly, we effectively self-insure for much of our exposures. In addition, for a variety of reasons such as increases in claims, a weak economy, projected significant increases in medical costs and wages, lost compensation and reductions in coverage, insurance carriers may be unwilling to provide the current levels of coverage without a significant increase in collateral requirements to cover our

20

---

deductible obligations. We may not be able to maintain adequate insurance at reasonable rates or meet collateral requirements. Further, regulatory changes implemented by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) could impose additional costs on us. Our safety record is an important consideration for our customers. If serious accidents or fatalities occur or our safety record were to deteriorate, we may be ineligible to bid on certain projects and could be terminated from existing projects. In addition, our reputation and our prospects for future projects could be negatively affected. The OSHA recordable rate of one of our transmission construction subsidiaries has historically been higher than the industry average. If we cannot improve on this subsidiary’s safety record, we may not be able to bid successfully on future projects. As is common in our industry, we regularly have been and will continue to be subject to claims by employees, customers and third parties for property damage and personal injuries.

Our unionized workforce could cause interruptions in our provision of services. In addition, we contribute to multiemployer plans that could result in liabilities to us if these plans are terminated or we withdraw.

A significant percentage of our workforce is covered by collective bargaining agreements. Strikes or work stoppages could occur that would adversely impact our relationships with our customers and our ability to conduct our business.

We contribute to several multiemployer pension plans for employees covered by collective bargaining agreements. These plans are not administered by us, and contributions are determined in accordance with provisions of negotiated labor contracts. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, or ERISA, as amended by the Multiemployer Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1980, imposes certain liabilities upon employers who are contributors to a multiemployer plan in the event of the employer’s withdrawal from, or upon termination of, such plan. We do not have information on the net assets and actuarial present value of the multiemployer pension plans’ unfunded vested benefits allocable to us, if any, or the amounts, if any, for which we may be contingently liable if we were to withdraw from any of these plans.

Changes in, or interpretations of, existing state or federal telecommunications regulations or new regulations could adversely affect us.

Many of our telecommunications customers benefit from the Universal Service “E-rate” program, which was established by Congress in the 1996 Telecommunications Act and is administered by the Universal Service Administrative Company, or USAC, under the oversight of the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC. To remain eligible to provide services under this program in any state, we must maintain our telecommunications authorizations in that state. Under the E-rate program, schools, libraries and certain health-care facilities may receive subsidies for certain approved telecommunications services, internet access, and internal connections. From time to time, bills have been introduced in Congress that would eliminate or curtail the E-rate program. If such a bill were passed, or if the FCC or USAC were to further limit E-rate subsidies, it could result in a decrease in the demand for our telecommunications infrastructure services by certain customers.

The telecommunications services that we provide are subject to regulation by the FCC to the extent that they are interstate telecommunications services and, when wholly within a particular state, are subject to regulation by such state. We currently contribute to state, but not federal, universal service funds for the majority of our telecommunications services. Changes in federal or state regulations could reduce the profitability of our telecommunications business. We could also be subject to fines if the FCC or a state regulatory agency were to determine that any of our activities or positions violated its regulations.

Two of our subsidiaries are regulated by state public utility commissions. Regulations promulgated by certain of these public utility commissions require approval prior to the sale of shares by our principal stockholders. If any such approval is not obtained prior to the consummation of the sale of the shares by our principal stockholders, we intend to seek it after the consummation of the offering. We do not believe that our failure to obtain any required approvals prior to the consummation of the offering will have material consequences to us, but there can be no assurance it will not.

Newly adopted accounting regulations require us to expense stock options, which could cause our stock price to decline.

We recently adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) 123R, “Share Based Payment” which will eliminate the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic method that we used during 2005. Generally, these new provisions require that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method and recognized as an expense in our consolidated statement of operations. The effective date for this change for us was as of January 1, 2006. Previously, we only disclosed such expenses on a pro forma basis in the notes to our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Accordingly, in any reporting period in which we are required to recognize an expense for share-based compensation, our earnings will be lower than if no expense had been taken. Our stock price could decline in response to any perceived decline in our reported earnings.

Risks Relating to this Offering

The price of our common stock may fluctuate substantially.

Since our initial public offering in May 2004, the market price of our common stock has fluctuated significantly. After this offering, the market price of our common stock is likely to continue to fluctuate due to many factors, including:

·       actual or anticipated fluctuations in our results of operations;

·       variance in our financial performance from the expectations of market analysts;

·       conditions and trends in the end markets we serve and changes in the estimation of the size and growth rate of these markets;

·       announcements of significant contracts by us or our competitors;

·       loss of one or more of our significant customers;

·       legislation;

·       protracted weather effects;

·       changes in market valuation or earnings of our competitors;

·       changes in our level of backlog;

·       the trading volume of our common stock; and

·       general economic conditions.

In addition, the stock market in general, and the New York Stock Exchange and the market for infrastructure service companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies affected. These broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against that company. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources.

We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock and, consequently, your only opportunity to achieve a return on your investment is if the price of our common stock appreciates.

We do not plan to declare dividends on shares of our common stock in the foreseeable future. Further, the payment of dividends by us is restricted by our credit facility. See “Dividend Policy” for more information. Consequently, your only opportunity to achieve a return on your investment in our company will be if the market price of our common stock appreciates and you sell your shares at a profit.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares in this offering.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Instead, we anticipate that all of our earnings, if any, in the foreseeable future will be used to repay debt, for working capital, to support our operations and to finance the growth and development of our business. Any future determination relating to dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on a number of factors, including restrictions in our debt instruments, our future earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, future prospects and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, which provides that dividends are only payable out of surplus or current net profits. We are currently restricted from declaring or paying cash dividends pursuant to the terms of our senior credit facility.
