Great Lakes Industrial Environmental Construction

What Great Lakes Industrial Environmental Construction does

Great Lakes Industrial Environmental Construction (GLIEC) is a privately held industrial and environmental services company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Gary, Indiana, with a second regional hub in Pasadena, Texas. The company delivers nine core service lines — vacuum truck operations, tank and vessel cleaning, high-pressure water blasting, waste handling/disposal/recycling, confined space entry and safety support, demolition and industrial tear-out, 24/7 spill response, industrial cleaning and maintenance support, and labor/project support services — to customers across manufacturing, municipal/public works, energy/utilities, transportation/logistics, food & beverage processing, and heavy manufacturing (glass, steel). Execution is anchored by a specialized owned fleet including high-velocity vacuum trucks (28inHg/5700cfm), 40,000 PSI water blasters, wet Cusco vacuum tankers (3,000 gallon capacity), Huber High Rail vacuum trucks, and track loaders, operated by personnel with HAZWOPER, confined space, and TWIC certifications.

GLIEC generates revenue primarily through project-based professional services contracts, with a mix of scheduled/planned engagements and rapid-deployment 24/7 emergency response work. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, determined by project scope, equipment requirements, safety/compliance protocols, and geographic mobilization needs. The go-to-market model is enterprise field sales targeting regulated industrial and municipal clients, supplemented by direct phone/email outreach and a content-driven digital presence (company blog, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, X/Twitter). Two named customer-contact distribution channels support both the Midwest and Gulf Coast regions, with nationwide emergency response capability. The company claims 150+ years of combined team expertise and a track record of 1,000+ projects across 800+ sites and 500+ emergency incidents handled.

The operating model is compliance-intensive: GLIEC operates under OSHA, EPA, DOT, and MSHA frameworks and holds OSRO certification for land and marine emergency response. Leadership includes Jason Torres-Regnier as President/CEO and Tylor Torres-Regnier as General Manager, with additional business development, regional management, and accounting functions. The company is founder/privately owned with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or parent company, and operates as an Indiana-domiciled LLC.
