About Us
Our History
Encapco began in 1994 as a division of the DeSilva Gates Construction Company, a San Francisco Bay Area general contractor. Dedicated to recycling rather than stabilization and disposal, Encapco sought methods to convert a contaminated soil liability into a useful asset. That philosophical approach led to the issuance of a U.S. Patent on the Encapco process using emulsions to chemically immobilize heavy metals which are then reusable as structural fill materials. Project experience includes a Caltrans Highway/Park and Ride Lot Project and Fort Hunter Liggett Stabilization/Paving Project. We also successfully completed treatability studies on SAFR soils, including Fort Benjamin Harrison, MGA/GCC 29 Palms, Alameda Naval Air Station and Yuma Proving Grounds.
Encapco Technologies LLC was formed in 2000 as a licensing organization to both secure remediation contracts and to bring the Encapco technology to the environmental contracting community. The original principals of Encapco were James Levine, Bill Jones and John Salmon. Bill Jones has since retired. Operating relationships exist with DeSilva Gates, Doyle Ellis and Vinzoyl Technical Services Company.
Encapco Technologies LLC is currently conducting demonstrations of its process at facilities controlled by the United States Navy, United States Army, United States Air Force and the United States Department of Energy under the Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center (NFESC) Broad Agency Announcement Program procured by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command Contracts Office (NAVFACCO) under its Environmental Security Technology Certification Program.
Jim Levine, co-founder of Levine*Fricke, holds a MS in Civil Engineering from UC Berkeley, has over 20 years of experience in the environmental engineering field and holds civil engineering licenses in California, Hawaii, Florida, Arizona and New York. He is on the Board of the College of Engineering at UC Berkeley and established an endowment fund for minority students at the College.
Bill Jones
holds a BS in Civil Engineering from UCLA.
He is a licensed Professional Engineer with over 25 years experience
in civil engineering design, construction management and real estate
development. Prior to joining
Encapco, he was employed by Santa Fe Pacific Realty, and later by DeSilva
Gates Construction. He managed the
closure of the first State Superfund site in California, at Pt. Isabel in
Richmond and is principal co-inventor of the Encapco Process.
John Salmon
holds a BBA in Accounting from the University of Notre Dame and a JD from
the University of Illinois. He
served as the first Vice President of Development and Sales of the merged
Santa Fe/Southern Pacific real estate companies and as the first Director of
the Governor’s Office of Asset Management of the State of California.
Michael Doyle is principal in the firm of Doyle/Ellis, specializing in emulsion design and applications. Mr. Doyle was a co-inventor of the technology and works with Encapco on site-specific emulsion design requirements.
Bruce Page, Ph.D., also a co-inventor of the technology, works with Encapco on many of our projects. Dr. Page has over 30 years experience in environmental engineering including 10 years with DuPont, 10 years with LFR Levine*Fricke, as well as other assignments.
Composition for solid waste remediation
Abstract Solid waste contaminated with cationic metals is remediated with a composition that reduces the mobility of the metals. A recycled product is formed having improved structural properties for possible use as engineered fill such as road base material. Said composition comprising an emulsion of asphalt or tall oil pitch in water and a chemical fixing agent. For additional information, see the Encapco Patent.
