EA Engineering wins more Air Force work

EA Engineering, Science and Technology Inc. of Hunt Valley has won $2.1 million worth of work from the Air Force under a standing contract to help with environmental remediation at several bases, the company said yesterday.

The new work will be performed at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam.

EA Engineering has handled jobs worth a total of almost $45 million at 11 bases since winning a broad Air Force contract in 1994. Previous work at Andersen has included land-use planning and site, ecological and human health risk assessments.

"Today's announcement affirms our strong relationship with the Andersen officials and sets the course for a seamless continuation of work assignments," President and Chief Executive Officer Donald A. Deieso said in a prepared statement.

The latest award will involve providing cost analysis, engineering evaluation and documentation for cleanup efforts at Andersen.

The contract comes at a time when EA Engineering has suffered significant losses for two consecutive quarters and laid off 150 workers from its 22 offices worldwide since February.
