Keller North America announces the acquisition of the GeoConstruction group (“Bencor”) of Layne Christensen Company, a company that operates internationally, with headquarters in Frisco, Tex. This acquisition will strengthen Keller’s product range and its ability to offer complete packaged solutions in North America and beyond.

Bencor will operate as a separate business unit of Keller North America and will retain its original name. Bencor brings decades of experience and the drive for innovation that made it a respected leader in the diaphragm wall (D-wall) and deep cutoff wall industry.

In addition, the acquisition includes a team of specialists which is highly experienced in specialty geotechnical grouting and has completed complex jet grouting projects in North America and overseas. Bencor complements Keller’s existing product lines in North America and abroad in providing clients turn-key, cost-effective geotechnical solutions and design-build services. As part of the acquisition, Keller will take on Bencor’s highly esteemed management team and all 150 employees.

Bencor has nearly a half-century of expertise in designing and constructing deep foundation systems and cut-off walls for dams, levees, shafts, and underground structures, dating back to 1969. Traditionally renowned for constructing D-walls, a product often used for earth retention and/or water cut-off in major infrastructure projects, Bencor is skilled in a multitude of geotechnical construction techniques.
