Established in 2015, C&D has earned a strong reputation for helping clients complete energy delivery projects with efficiency and precision. The company serves key Texas markets, including the San Antonio Metro area, North-Central Texas, the Gulf Coast and West Texas. 

Service offerings for electric infrastructure include design plans for construction, field survey, audit services, project management, state and federal permitting, storm damage assessment, pole structure loading analysis, customer engagement and on-site field work. 

“We are excited about the opportunity to join Halff,” said C&D Utility Consulting President and Owner Romeo Cabrera. “This partnership will expand the range of services we provide in the power industry. By combining our services and resources, we’re bringing new expertise that will deliver added value to our clients.”

With this acquisition, Halff is strengthening its energy services by integrating the expertise of 26 C&D Utility Consulting professionals, reinforcing the firm’s position as the partner of choice for energy and electrical distribution infrastructure, and enabling end-to-end solutions from route planning and permitting through detailed design and construction support. Halff’s additional infrastructure solution services, including environmental, survey, right of way, development and public works, will further complement the electric distribution team.
