Osmose Utilities Services, Inc., a provider of critical inspection, maintenance and restoration services for electric utility and telecommunications infrastructure in the U.S., recently announced that it has acquired the principal assets of McLean Engineering Company. McLean Engineering, based in Moultrie, GA, is a nationally recognized engineering firm with over 85 years of experience serving as consultants to electric utilities on transmission and distribution (T&D) design, pole attachments and other issues related to the joint use of utility structures. The acquisition serves to supplement Osmose’s structural engineering with T&D electrical engineering capabilities. The combination of these industry leaders significantly expands the provision of end-to-end joint use turnkey consulting and management services to electric utilities and telecommunications providers and adds depth to Osmose’s technical engineering services.

As the demand for electric energy and broadband continues to grow, managing joint use, pole attachment and make-ready issues has become crucial to maintain infrastructure integrity, comply with regulations, reduce costs, protect the environment, and ensure the reliable delivery of services. “Osmose’s acquisition of McLean Engineering positions us to better support customer efforts, providing a full suite of electrical engineering, pole attachment support and joint use services,” said Mike Adams, CEO of Osmose Utilities Services, Inc.
