Envirocon

What Envirocon does

Envirocon, Inc. is a privately held U.S. environmental services contractor founded in 1988 by Dennis Washington and headquartered in Missoula, Montana, operating as a subsidiary of The Washington Companies. The company delivers three integrated service lines — environmental remediation, ecological restoration, and decommissioning & demolition (D&D) — to federal agencies including the Department of Energy (DOE), Department of Defense (USACE, NAVFAC, AFCEC), and EPA, as well as to private-sector clients in energy, mining, manufacturing, and oil & gas. Specialized capabilities include radiological site remediation, munitions response, chemical agent disposal facility demolition, mine reclamation, contaminated sediment dredging, and coal combustion residual (CCR) impoundment closure.

The company executes projects using a self-performed delivery model with a 97%+ self-performance rate, supported by an owned heavy-equipment fleet and multidisciplinary field teams. Notable technical credentials include OSHA VPP STAR status, an Experience Modification Rate (EMR) of 0.48, and demonstrated execution on complex federal projects such as the Milltown Dam Superfund site (2.2 million cubic yards excavated), Hanford Nuclear Site radiological work, and the Rocky Mountain Arsenal chemical warfare agent production plant demolition. Project manhour scale on individual engagements has reached 296,000+ hours on gypstack closures and 248,000+ hours on radioactive soil excavation, all completed with zero reported safety or environmental incidents.

Envirocon generates revenue primarily through project-based fixed-price and cost-reimbursable contracts awarded via federal procurement vehicles (competitive bids, IDIQ contracts, and sole-source awards) and competitive private-sector bidding. Pricing is scope-specific and tied to regulatory complexity (CERCLA, RCRA), site logistics, and contract type, with multi-year award durations providing backlog visibility. Customer acquisition relies on enterprise field sales, direct government procurement relationships, and a partnership network with large, small, and disadvantaged businesses. Marketing is driven by industry awards, thought-leadership publications such as Environmental Business Journal, and conference participation rather than outbound demand generation. The company is led by President Pete Joy (appointed January 2024) and operates across 46 U.S. states with over 3,600 projects completed since inception.

Direct peers

• Tetra Tech: Tetra Tech is the largest pure-play environmental consulting and engineering firm with deep federal remediation work, including CERCLA/RCRA projects for DOD and DOE. Directly comparable as a competing specialty remediation contractor with overlapping client relationships and scope of services.
• APTIM: APTIM is a mid-sized federal environmental remediation and D&D specialist that competes directly for USACE, NAVFAC, and EPA cleanup task orders. Closely aligned service offering (remediation, decommissioning, ecological restoration) and federal client base make it the closest apples-to-apples peer.
• Weston Solutions: Weston is a privately held environmental remediation firm of comparable size with similar federal remediation, D&D, and ecological restoration offerings. Closely aligned in business model (private, mid-sized, project-based) and federal client mix.

Broad incumbents

• Jacobs Solutions: Jacobs operates a large Critical Mission Solutions and environmental services practice that pursues the same DOE, DOD, and EPA remediation work Envirocon targets, but as part of a much broader portfolio of engineering, cyber, and infrastructure services. Comparable on federal remediation pursuit and execution.
• AECOM: AECOM runs a sizable Environment business that competes for Superfund, munitions response, and federal D4 work alongside its broader infrastructure design and program management lines. Overlaps directly with Envirocon's federal environmental remediation scope.
• Bechtel: Bechtel's Environmental and Nuclear business is a major contractor on DOE legacy site cleanups, including Hanford and Savannah River, directly competing with Envirocon's radiological remediation capabilities. Despite vastly larger scale, the federal remediation core is closely comparable.
• Fluor Corporation: Fluor's Mission Solutions and heavy industrial groups pursue DOE and DOD environmental and decommissioning work, overlapping with Envirocon's federal remediation and D&D pursuits at a much larger scale.
• Clean Harbors: Clean Harbors provides environmental and industrial services including field remediation, hazardous waste handling, and industrial cleanup; competing with Envirocon on private-sector remediation and waste management work, with a much larger commercial footprint.
• Stantec: Stantec's North American environmental services business pursues similar CERCLA, RCRA, mining remediation, and ecological restoration work for federal and private clients, overlapping in service mix while operating a broader consulting and engineering practice.
• Parsons Corporation: Parsons' Critical Infrastructure and Federal Solutions segments pursue DOD (USACE/NAVFAC) environmental remediation, munitions response, and D4 work. Comparable in federal environmental pursuit and execution despite a substantially larger and more diversified business.
