OWEGO, N.Y. — A Wayne County–based environmental contracting-services company has acquired the construction division of O’Rourke Inc., giving it a branch location in Owego. Sessler Environmental Services (SES), which provides services including abatement, environmental remediation, interior demolition, concrete saw cutting and removal, industrial cleaning, and environmental-investigation services, announced the news in a recent release. “We are thrilled to announce the acquisition of the construction division of O’Rourke,” SES Managing Member Brian Sessler said. He noted the O’Rourke team has been a trusted partner on past projects and the experience of the team makes the acquisition a strong fit for continued growth at SES. O’Rourke Inc., founded in 1994, performed environmental remediation, soil-vapor mitigation, bulk storage-tank removal, and abatement and demolition services, and the two companies have collaborated on numerous projects in the past. Tim O’Rourke and the members of the construction team have joined the team at SES, which plans to acquire new equipment for remediation, abatement, and decontamination projects. SES will maintain a branch location at the former O’Rourke facility at 193 Sulphur Springs Road in Owego. “I am very pleased to embark on this next chapter with my construction team as we combine forces with our new colleagues and partners at SES,” O’Rourke said in the release. “We’ve had the pleasure of working alongside SES on numerous projects over recent years, and it was a natural fit for us to make this move, enhancing our offerings with the horsepower that SES brings to the table.” Founded in 1958 and headquartered in Macedon, Sessler Environmental Services also operates locations in Oriskany, DeWitt, and now, Owego, per its website.
