Today, we are reflecting upon the early completion of our second remediation project at the Port of Everett site in Washington! Launched in April 2024, our team successfully utilized GPS-enhanced heavy equipment to perform the remedial excavation of 15,000 cubic yards of petroleum hydrocarbon-impacted soil in very shallow groundwater conditions, finishing ahead of schedule in late August. The project scope encompassed excavating contaminated material to various depths with precision, contaminated material transport and disposal, and strategic backfill placement, followed by the restoration of 33,000 square feet of asphalt surface. ICS’ use of GPS-enhanced heavy equipment facilitated remedial excavation with enhanced accuracy and increased productivity, without the need to perform costly dewatering activities. We couldn`t be more proud of our Pacific Northwest project teams for their exceptional performance on this project. Congratulations, team, on the delivery of this complex scope safely and ahead of schedule!

November`s safety topic highlights the importance of maintaining a comprehensive fall protection program. Protection practices are required when working from manlifts, on elevated structures, platforms, or scaffolding, when accessing rooftops, during steel erection, or performing any task above ground level where a potential fall hazard exists. This safety program ensures appropriate fall prevention and protection measures are taken, regardless of working height.
Fall prevention begins before any work starts through comprehensive employee training, equipment inspections, and strict control measures for elevated work areas. Our fall protection systems combine advanced fall arrest equipment, detailed documentation, clear communication protocols, continuous monitoring by qualified personnel, and established rescue procedures to ensure the highest level of workplace safety when encountering potential fall hazards or falling objects.
At ICS, we maintain a strict fall prevention program across all our project sites because proper fall protection is critical in reducing workplace injuries. Our comprehensive approach ensures that every team member has the tools, knowledge, and support needed to work safely at heights and effectively prevent workplace injuries. Our ultimate priority will always be the health and safety of our team!

Our SoCal project teams are approaching completion of a complex remediation project involving chemical- and radioactive-impacted waste from several burn pit at a remote site in LA County. We are proud to report that we have effectively reduced schedule and costs on this project through deployment and use of a conveyor-based sorting system to segregate the excavated waste with different levels of radiation. Pictured below, this system has already facilitated the rapid sorting and segregation of over 15,000 tons of excavated burn pit waste material. After almost 7 months onsite with a dedicated crew of over 20 team members, we are on track to complete this complex remediation project ahead of schedule, by late November. We couldn’t be more impressed by our team’s outstanding execution of this project!
