Yeah, he's been going strong for a while.
I heard him speak a few weeks ago, great guy.

This is just the announcement of how much money is in the fund. Basically a Press Release to tell everyone they've got 3/4 of billion that they have to put to work for their LPs.

He stole a few really good guys from Turner recently to run his Brown and Root turnaround and welding services as well as maintenance.
epic piping is going to be a game changer in the area. That shop is amazing.
Look for some more purchases in this industry by him really soon.

This whole scenario will go down as 2 case studies for MBAs. 1. The CB&I side will be a joke of what not to do. 2. BCP will be a case study of exactly what to do.

Be careful what you ask for. If he buys your company, don't think your pockets will just start filling up.
Very smart man. He will pay, the least he can.

I believe i read that Jim's "No Compete Clause" ended in March of 2015. IMO, CB&I should have got a 10 year no compete clause.

Are 10 year non-competes even legal? I'm pretty sure for employer/ employee non-competes that 2 years is the legal limit

Really any non compete is very hard to enforce regardless of duration.

I'm not hearing this, at least not at the executive level.
He's hiring people that I think will advise him well on the market and how not to be a dumbass on paying the lowest wages.
Just attended a conference this week and confirmed what I have known, much of the downstream and petrochem construction industry is still going to be fighting for skilled craft through 2017 so wages will need to be in line.

He bought 4 companies the day after and was quoted in the paper saying " we've been waiting for this a long time." Hasn't bought much lately but has built quite an army and has some impressive facilities being built.
