Company Description:	Henkels & McCoy, founded in 1923 by John B. Henkels, Jr., started out performing tree-trimming, landscaping, and tennis court construction. A hurricane in New England in 1938 proved to be the turning point in our history. While the storm was still blowing its way through the Northeast, Henkels & McCoy rallied, recruiting teams of linemen to send to the area. Just hours after the winds subsided, Henkels & McCoy crews rolled in to restore utility services. Today, Henkels & McCoy is one of the largest privately held engineering, project management, construction, and training firms providing critical infrastructure for the electric power, communications, natural gas and pipeline, and water industries. We consistently rank in the top tier of the Engineering News-Record list of Specialty Contractors.
