Pangea wins portion of $800 million cleanup contract
One of 22 firms across the country picked for the job
St. Louis Business Journal - October 29, 2004by Rick Desloge

Pangea Group, an environmental cleanup business here, has been prequalified to handle part of an $800 million contract for the U.S. Department of Energy.

Pangea was one of 22 firms from across the country approved for the work. The contract involves cleaning up former nuclear weapon sites with radioactive contamination and other government locations contaminated with hazardous materials such as asbestos, said Donnie Campbell, the contracting officer in charge of the award at the Department of Energy's operations in Aiken, S.C. The work will be undertaken during the next five years, Campbell said.


Pangea, which is owned by company President Mike Zambrana, was among the smallest companies in the competition to win part of the contract. More than 102 firms bid to be eligible for the assignments, Campbell said. Zambrana said he expects to see significant growth this year and in 2005 as a result of the government deal.

Other winning bidders include large companies such as Bechtel National of McLean, Va., and Washington Group International of Denver.

Pangea had $31 million in revenue last year, Zambrana said. The company has about 85 full-time employees and another 85 trade union workers. Pangea will be hiring project engineers in the coming weeks to meet the demands of the government work, he said. Pangea's share of the work is yet to be determined.

Pangea and other prequalified firms will still have to bid on the exact assignments as the government puts them out for bid, Campbell said, but all the prequalified firms are expected to land parts of the business.

The Department of Energy split contract work among environmental cleanup, waste management services, and demolition and removal of old facilities. Pangea was approved only for environmental cleanup, the area comprising the most government work, Campbell said. Environmental cleanup is Pangea's specialty. The 6-year-old company got its start in St. Louis cleaning nuclear waste at the former Weldon Spring nuclear testing facility in St. Charles County.

In July, Pangea graduated from a St. Louis County business incubator and moved its staff into St. Louis city offices on Jefferson Avenue. In addition to St. Louis, the company has offices in Overland Park, Kansas; Cincinnati; Oak Ridge, Tenn., and Denver.
