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.
