What Insight Environmental, Engineering & Construction does

Insight Environmental, Engineering & Construction, Inc. (IEECI) is a minority-owned small business founded in 1983 and headquartered in Brea, California. The firm provides integrated environmental remediation, design-build construction, munitions and explosives of concern (MEC) clearance, demolition and renovation, and energy and sustainability services to U.S. federal agencies, with the U.S. Department of Defense and its components (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, NAVFAC, U.S. Air Force) representing its primary customer base. IEECI holds SBA Small Business certification across seven construction and remediation NAICS codes and California Unified Certification Program (CUCP) Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) status, qualifying it for federal small-business set-aside contracting. The company has executed over 600 federal projects cumulatively valued at over $3.8 billion, with individual project values ranging from roughly $0.7 million to $33.1 million (e.g., remedial action at five burn ash sites, MCB Camp Pendleton; design-build primary border fence, U.S./Mexico border).

IEECI's core technical capabilities center on environmental remediation using methods such as in-situ thermal remediation via thermal conduction heating across 46+ heater wells, in-situ solidification/stabilization to immobilize non-aqueous phase liquid contamination, on-site groundwater treatment using granular activated carbon and ion exchange, and wetlands sediment removal near active airfields. Its construction practice delivers design-build military facilities (barracks, child development centers, fitness centers, SCIFs), security fencing, utilities infrastructure, and LEED-certified renewable-energy projects. The firm has received recognition including a U.S. EPA Clean Air Award for burn ash remediation executed with rail-car transport and biodiesel-powered heavy equipment.

IEECI operates as a privately-held, asset-light specialty contractor with headcount of 11-50 employees, functioning as a prime contractor through SAM.gov and direct agency solicitations. Pricing is contract-based via competitive bidding for individual multi-year federal task orders; commercial revenue and contract wins are not publicly disclosed. The firm maintains an active project-by-project geographic footprint spanning California, Alabama, Illinois, Idaho, Hawaii, Texas, and Maryland, with cumulative worldwide federal contracting experience. No funding rounds, acquisitions, leadership changes, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed in the source data.

Broad incumbents

• AECOM: Global infrastructure and environmental services incumbent that primes large federal remediation and military construction task orders and frequently subcontracts small-business set-aside scopes to firms like Insight.
• Jacobs: Major federal environmental, engineering, and base-operations prime that competes for and aggregates the same DoD remediation and MILCON task orders Insight pursues.
• Tetra Tech: Large environmental engineering and consulting incumbent with deep federal environmental remediation practice; comparable technical footprint but at meaningfully larger scale.
• KBR: Large diversified government services prime with substantial DoD environmental, base operations, and munitions response practices; competes for the same set-aside-eligible scopes at larger scale.

Emerging players

• Anchor QEA: Employee-owned environmental science and engineering consultancy delivering federal site investigation, remediation, and ecological restoration work in segments overlapping Insight's environmental practice.
• Haley & Aldrich: Environmental and geotechnical engineering consultancy with federal site-assessment and remediation practices; comparable technical execution on environmental projects but more consulting-led than construction-led.

Direct peers

• ECC (Environmental Chemical Corporation): Federal environmental remediation, construction, and munitions response prime contractor serving DoD and civilian agencies — directly comparable in customer base, MEC/UXO capabilities, and design-build remediation delivery model.
• APTIM: Federal environmental, remediation, and resilience services firm supporting DoD, EPA, and civilian agencies; comparable integrated environmental + infrastructure offering with similar federal contracting focus.
• Weston Solutions: Employee-owned environmental remediation and design-build firm with a long DoD past-performance portfolio in munitions response, site cleanup, and infrastructure — directly comparable specialty contractor profile.
• EA Engineering, Science, and Technology: 100% employee-owned federal environmental engineering, remediation, and construction firm supporting DoD, EPA, and civilian agencies — closely aligned specialty services profile and customer base.
