A year after TIC Solutions moved its corporate office from Tomball to Hollywood, Florida, it has now moved it back to the Galleria area.
The company provides asset integrity, engineering and geospatial services. It has revenues of $1.8 billion and an enterprise value of $3.1 billion.
TIC was formed from the merger of two publicly-traded companies in August 2025, Acuren (based in Tomball) and NV5 (based in Florida). Acuren shareholders ended up with 60% of the combined company, NV5 40%. The combined entity was renamed TIC Solutions and the head office moved to Florida.
Acuren was originally formed in 1974 as Longview Inspection. In July 2024, it was taken public by a SPAC, Admiral Acquisition Corp for $1.9 billion. NV5 traced its origins back to 1949 in California and went public in 2013. Both companies were highly acquisitive.
At the time of the merger, the CEO of Acuren, Tal Pizzey, became the CEO of the combined company, though he was actually based in Edmonton, Canada. The CEO of NV5, Ben Heraud, became the COO of the combined company. He is based in California. Mr. Pizzey voluntarily resigned in March 2026 and Mr. Heraud took over as CEO.
Kristin Schultes, the CFO of Acuren, became the CFO of the combined group. She is based in the Houston-area.
There have been a number of companies that have moved their head office to Houston area in 2026. Expand Energy and Devon Energy are the two largest, but there have been a few other smaller companies (Ainos, Barnwell Industries and Olenox Industries).
