SAFETY AND ECOLOGY CORPORATION AWARDED $10.8 MILLION CONTRACT


Company Performing Industrial Facility Construction for Tennessee Manufacturing Plant


ARLINGTON, VA – October 21, 2008 Safety and Ecology Corporation (SEC), was awarded a contract potentially valued just under $11 million to provide construction installation services to support a Tennessee manufacturer’s capital improvement expansion project. Phase I is funded at $6.8 million with the scope of Phase II being a $4 million option.

Over the next ten months, the SEC team will perform the total installation of special equipment that automates a process currently being used at the manufacturer’s other facilities, yet new to the Tennessee facility. The installation of this equipment will provide streamlined solutions that improve operational efficiency. In addition, SEC will provide mechanical, piping and ductwork, and electrical installation.

Since 2007, SEC has been awarded eighteen projects from this commercial client totaling over $34 million. The scope of this work includes: infrastructure support and facility upgrades, system modernization, new industrial facility construction, and excavation and demolition services.

“Our environmental restoration and infrastructure division continues to provide expanding value to our client’s facility renovations and upgrades,” said HSCC President and SEC CEO Chris Leichtweis.

Safety and Ecology Corporation has been able to utilize seventeen years of hands-on field experience at federal facilities to support the client’s mission. Headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee, SEC’s working relationship with the Tennessee manufacturer broadens its local presence with commercial clients.

“This project affords us the opportunity to demonstrate our expanding suite of infrastructure upgrade and refurbishment services to one of our most important commercial clients, The award is a direct result of our outstanding performance on previous projects and will allow us to continue to execute our growth strategy,” commented former Congressman and HSCC Chairman C. Thomas McMillen.
