Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         On October 12, 1996,  the  Registrant,  Able Telcom  Holding  Corp.,  a
Florida  corporation,  through its wholly owned subsidiary,  Traffic  Management
Group,  Inc., a Florida  corporation,  acquired  all the issued and  outstanding
capital stock of Georgia Electric Company, a Georgia corporation  ("GEC"),  from
its sole  shareholders  (the acquisition of such stock, as described  herein, is
referred to as the  "Acquisition").  The Acquisition was effected  pursuant to a
Stock Purchase  Agreement dated October 12, 1996 (the  "Acquisition  Agreement")
among the  Registrant  and the Sellers.  The purchase price was $3,000,000 to be
paid in cash,  plus the  issuance at the end of each of the next five years of a
number of shares of common stock of the Registrant  having a then current market
value  of  $1,000,000,  subject  to  adjustment  based  on the  pretax  earnings
performance of GEC. In connection with the Acquisition,  the Registrant  entered
into  employment  agreements  with Gerry W. Hall and J. Barry  Hall,  the former
stockholders of GEC  (collectively,  "Sellers").  These  employment  agreements,
which expire on the fifth  anniversary of the  Acquisition,  provide for Messrs.
Hall and Hall to serve,  respectively,  as president  of GEC and  Transportation
Safety Contractors of Florida,  a Florida  corporation and indirect wholly owned
subsidiary of the Registrant.

         GEC  is  engaged  in  the  business  of  (a)  installing,  testing  and
maintaining  intelligent highway and traffic  communication  systems,  including
computerized management systems, wireless and fiber optic data networks, weather
sensors,  voice,  data and video systems,  and (b)  installing  and  maintaining
industrial equipment and control systems.

         The documents  delivered by both the  Registrant and the Sellers are to
be held in escrow pending funding by the Registrant of the cash component of the
purchase price (the "Cash Consideration"). The Registrant has deposited with the
escrow  agent  the sum of  $100,000,  which sum is to be  forfeited  if the Cash
Consideration  is not paid by October 31, 1996. In addition,  the failure by the
Registrant to pay the Cash  Consideration by October 31, 1996,  unless such date
is extended by the Sellers,  may result in the return of the stock of GEC to the
Sellers.

         The  Registrant  currently  has  commitments  with  lenders to effect a
borrowing  in the  amount of the Cash  Consideration,  however,  there can be no
assurance  that the  Registrant  will be successful in completing the funding by
October 31, 1996.

Item 5.  Other Events
         In connection with the  acquisition,  Gerry W. Hall,  president of GEC,
was elected to the Board of Directors  of Able Telcom  Holding  Corp.  effective
October 12, 1996.

Item 7.  Financial Statements and Exhibits.

         The following financial statements, pro forma financial information and
exhibits are filed as part of this Form 8-K:

      (a)      Financial Statements.

         It is not  practical to provide  financial  information  required to be

that this report is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
Financial  Information  will be filed by  amendment  to this Form 8-K as soon as
practicable,  but in any event not later that 60 days after this report is being
filed.  The  Registrant  expects to file the Financial  Information  on or about

      (b)      Pro Forma Financial Information.

required to be filed on account of the Acquisition (the "Pro Forma Information")
on the date that this report is being  filed with the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission.  The Pro Forma  Information  will be filed by amendment to this Form

on or about December 15, 1996.
