“Our work with UT-Battelle is an integral part of our commitment to supporting the Department of Energy’s expansion of science and technology by renovating, refurbishing, and/or removing old facilitates to allow for new construction,” said SEC’s CEO and HSCC President, Christopher Leichtweis.

“Our SEC subsidiary continues to demonstrate they are a reputable contractor for DOE, as well as other federal agencies, whether as a subcontractor or prime contractor,” said former Maryland Congressman C. Thomas McMillen, Homeland Security Capital Corporation’s Chairman and CEO.
