- Southland Holdings, Inc. is a North American infrastructure construction holding company that operates primarily through two segments: Civil and Transportation. The Civil segment designs and constructs water pipelines, pump stations, lift stations, water and wastewater treatment plants, concrete and structural steel, outfalls, and tunneling. The Transportation segment handles the design and construction of bridges, roadways, marine structures, dredging, ship terminals and piers, specialty structures, as well as convention centers, sports stadiums, and ferris wheels. The company serves public sector customers including federal agencies, state departments of transportation, local transit authorities, and utilities, along with private clients in industrial, commercial, and residential sectors. It operates across all 50 states in the U.S. and in more than 60 countries globally. Founded in 1900, Southland Holdings is headquartered in Grapevine, Texas.
Recently, Southland Holdings has strategically expanded its portfolio by acquiring three new water resource projects through subsidiaries Oscar Renda Contracting and Southland Contracting, totaling approximately $150 million. These projects focus on water pipeline, tunnel, and water treatment plant improvements, significantly boosting the company's 2024 backlog and strengthening its presence in the civil infrastructure sector, particularly in water management. Additionally, the company continues to secure sizable infrastructure projects, such as a $130 million contract portfolio in 2025, including bridge rehabilitation in the Pacific Northwest and water resource development in Austin, Texas. This reflects a focused effort on increasing margins and diversifying its specialized construction services portfolio. The company also maintains a legacy of integrating major acquisitions to broaden its capabilities, exemplified by its acquisition of American Bridge Company, a global leader in complex civil and bridge construction, which expanded Southland's geographic reach and project capacity.
Southland Holdings’ operations encompass a comprehensive range of specialty infrastructure construction projects, including water conveyance systems, heavy highway projects, tunnels, bridges, marine facilities, and specialty vertical structures. The company employs approximately 2,100 people and actively participates in infrastructure development projects driven by increasing demand for water infrastructure and aging public systems, particularly in Texas. Its strategic alignment with long-term government infrastructure investments positions it for sustained growth and margin improvement in the infrastructure construction industry.
