What ENTACT does
ENTACT is a privately held, PE-backed environmental remediation and geotechnical construction services firm headquartered in Westmont, Illinois, with 17 U.S. offices and 501-1,000 employees. The company self-performs remediation of contaminated soils, sediments, and groundwater; ground improvement including deep soil mixing, soil-cement columns, and slurry walls; environmental dredging and subaqueous capping via its White Lake Dock & Dredge division; cap and containment systems; dewatering and custom water treatment (50-2,500 GPM); and wetlands and habitat restoration. Core technical assets include an owned fleet of specialized equipment (deep soil mixing drill rigs, grout batch plants, marsh buggies, barge-mounted dredging equipment, low-ground-pressure machinery) and an in-house bench-scale treatability laboratory for mix design validation. ENTACT has mixed more than 15 million cubic yards of soil and managed more than 5.5 million cubic yards of sediments across 3,000+ projects over 35+ years.
The company generates revenue through project-based professional and technical services contracts — competitive bids, sole-source awards, and direct enterprise engagements — with government agencies, industrial and manufacturing clients, energy and utilities companies (including LNG terminal developers and integrated energy majors), mining and metals operators, and real estate developers redeveloping brownfield sites. Pricing is custom-quoted per project; no public rate cards are published. Distribution is via direct enterprise field sales supported by a nationwide office network, with a 20+ year anchor relationship with a major integrated energy company across refineries, terminals, retail sites, and Superfund sites. The go-to-market focuses on long-cycle, technically complex engagements where self-perform execution, equipment ownership, and treatability lab capability are competitive advantages. ENTACT is sponsored by Pritzker Private Capital and has executed two strategic acquisitions (USA Environment in 2022, White Lake Dock & Dredge in 2023) to broaden its industrial-services and marine-construction capabilities.
