Cross Country Infrastructure Services Inc. ("CCIS"), a leading industrial supplier of construction equipment and consumables to infrastructure projects in North America, officially announced today the sale of its Pump & Integrity Rental segment ("Pump & Integrity") to Griffin Dewatering ("Griffin"). Griffin has extensive experience in the construction industry with over 85 years of manufacturing equipment and designing dewatering systems for complex groundwater problems.
The entire Cross Country integrity team is expected to stay on and continue to provide their experience and extensive knowledge to the pump rentals markets.

Headquartered in Aurora, Colorado, CCIS initially acquired their Pump & Integrity division with the purchase of Power Associates International in 2013. Then in 2015, CCIS continued the growth with Stone Pump & Trench. These acquisitions were an important strategic initiative to expand the company's North American dewatering and hydrostatic testing capabilities in important markets Cross Country already served with other equipment and supplies.
John James, president of Cross Country, said, "CCIS and its board of directors decided that this is the perfect time to capitalize on the company's initial investments with our Pump & Integrity division and look forward to growing our core business with equipment rentals and supplies. We are proud of the work we have done with this division and would like to commend our colleagues for their efforts and continue to wish them future success."
