Pond

What Pond does

Pond & Company, now operating as Pond, an ENERCON Company following its April 2026 merger with ENERCON, is a full-service engineering, architecture, planning, and program/construction management firm founded in 1965 and headquartered in Peachtree Corners, Georgia. The firm employs approximately 2,700 professionals across 21 U.S. offices and executes projects in all 50 states and 29 countries, serving more than 1,500 active clients. Service lines span Planning, Environmental & Regulatory Compliance, Engineering (civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, process, fire protection, transportation, traffic), Architecture, Program & Construction Management, Asset Integrity, and Fueling Services.

The company generates revenue primarily through project-based professional services contracts, including multi-year IDIQ vehicles, sold to a vertically-segmented client base across Federal Government (DoD, Air Force, Navy, NAVFAC, USACE), State and Local Government, Energy (upstream/midstream/downstream, utilities, renewables), Transportation, Industrial, and Life Sciences. Distribution relies on direct enterprise field sales into federal agencies, inside sales for mid-market accounts, and a network of at least 11 named joint ventures (Raymond-Pond, Arcadis-Pond, Pond-CDM Smith, Pond-Woolpert, Pond-Salas O'Brien, FSB-Pond, GSI-Pond, Pond-Baker, Pond-Stanley, OES-Pond, and Raymond-Pond Enterprise Solutions) that serve as strategic channels for large government and infrastructure contract acquisition. Pricing is custom and quote-driven with no publicly disclosed rate card.

Ownership is held by Arlington Capital Partners following a January 2026 acquisition from DC Capital Partners for over $700 million, with management co-investing alongside the sponsor to consummate the ENERCON merger. The firm holds ENR Top 500, Top 225 International, Top 50 Petroleum, and MEP Giants Top 100 rankings, and has earned multiple consecutive Highwire Platinum Safety Awards (2021, 2024, 2025). Named enterprise customers include Boeing, Samsung, Medline, Amazon, Pepsi, and federal agencies including the Department of Defense, Air Force, Navy, NAVFAC, and USACE.
