Cianbro acquires L.B. Foster fabrication shop

Cianbro, Pittsfield, Maine, has acquired a fabrication facility in Georgetown, Mass., from the L. B. Foster Co. The facility was built in 1982 to fabricate structural steel for buildings and bridges and includes about 40,000 sq. ft. of fabrication and coating space.

The acquisition includes about 30 new team members and a variety of equipment. The facility provides more shop capacity for Cianbro and allows the company to expand its product line to include stringer bridges, which are bridges made with a rolled beam as the main member of the structure.
