We are thrilled to announce the retirement of our long-time friend and colleague, John Untiet, who has been part of the ICS family for an incredible twenty-five years!
This past Friday, we gathered over lunch to celebrate his remarkable career and reflect on the privilege of working together. John’s skills in the seat of a heavy equipment operator speaks for itself. He’s a master! However, it’s his steady demeanor; his calmness under pressure; and the care and love that he shows for ICS, his colleagues, and his family that will leave a lasting mark. A quarter century with ICS is an enormous accomplishment, and our Co-Founders expressed the true honor of having spent all these years alongside him. John exemplifies our ICS core values and has made incredible contributions to countless projects and team events throughout his career!
John, words cannot express our gratitude for the value you`ve brought to our team. Wishing you all the best in this next chapter!

Today we`re reflecting on one of our most memorable in-situ remediation projects: a 500 gpm groundwater extraction treatment (GET) system in Santa Clarita, CA!
Construction of this complex and highly-automated GET system demonstrated our self-perform turnkey construction capabilities - from the civil work, to installation of the influent pipeline beneath an active railroad, to construction of the treatment pad, and installation of a 500 gpm fluidized bed reactor, carbons vessels and all inner-connections and controls (for treatment of Perchlorate- and VOC-impacted groundwater). Along the way, we solved various challenge to execute this project successfully, leveraging our unique DNA – our technical expertise mixed with practical experience - and our 26 years of experience in the environmental construction industry! Projects like this remind us why we do what we do and fuel our passion for delivering innovative solutions for even the most challenging and unique sites.

What began as a technical infrastructure project under California DWR`s Small Suppliers Water Conservation Assistance Program has blossomed into genuine relationship-building with North Coast tribal communities, who have welcomed our crews with extraordinary warmth and generosity, even sharing traditional gifts as tokens of appreciation!
This water conservation initiative addresses critical infrastructure needs for drought vulnerable small water systems throughout California. Each installation contributes to both environmental sustainability and economic relief for local residents: pressure-reducing valves prevent damaging water pressure, low-flow toilets save thousands of gallons annually, efficient showerheads reduce consumption, and water meters enable better resource management and quicker identification of water leaks.
The overwhelming positive community response has touched our hearts; two examples are below:
"I just wanted to express appreciation for the ICS Team. Jose and his crew have been amazing. We have heard nothing but truly positive comments about them. We even had an elder stop by the office just to give them a compliment on the work that was done at his house. I just wanted you to know our community truly appreciates this program."
"I just wanted to convey how many thankful messages I have received from our community about you and your crew. I know it must be hard to be away from your families. Please know that you have all made a difference."
These community connections may prove to be the most lasting impact of this project, demonstrating a true example of our purpose: building trust and lasting relationships. We commend our NorCal crews for the impact they`ve made so far, and we look forward to continuing this important work in partnership with GHD, DWR, and other communities across the state!
