PITTSBURGH, PA - January 9, 2009 - Nicholson Construction Company has acquired the capital stock of Terra Drilling Company Inc., a geotechnical contractor headquartered in Hudson, MA.
The acquisition strengthens Nicholson's position in the New England market, where Terra Drilling has completed hundreds of piling, earth retention, and grouting projects since it was founded in 1984.

Terra brings to Nicholson a fleet of high performance drill rigs and grouting equipment, a fully-operational yard and maintenance facility, and a veteran workforce" said Nicholson President Andrew Walker.
Terra has worked extensively throughout New England, as well as New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Colorado, including many of the Central Artery ("Big Dig") projects and several large micropile projects at the Logan Airport 2000 expansion. Recent projects include anchored earth retention systems for the Ray and Maria Stata Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, and micropiles at the Mass General Hospital.
