Hi All- I’m evaluating a potential acquisition in the traffic control / work-zone safety services space (flagging, lane closures, utility support, equipment rentals). Curious if anyone here has invested in, operated, diligenced, or covered this sector (search fund, PE, lender, or operator side). Would love to compare notes on industry dynamics, margins, labor/regulatory considerations, and valuation.

Thanks for tag, ^redacted‌. I operate a business in an adjacent space (Subcontractor for schools/apts in Tx). It is a fairly people intensive and project-based business. Happy to provide my perspective if helpful.

I know a guy who bought into this industry. DM me with specific questions and I can solicit answers from him.
