As we enter the final week of Women’s History Month, ICS would like to take a special moment to celebrate and honor the remarkable women around us! The month of March, and frankly every month, is an opportunity to honor the history of women everywhere while appreciating the hardships and sacrifices made for the women of present day. We are especially grateful for the women of ICS, some of whom are pictured below! We are incredibly lucky to work alongside these ladies, who dedicate themselves daily to the success and growth of our ICS family. Thank you for all that you do!

Last Friday, our NorCal team gathered for our Quarterly All-Hands Meeting. These quarterly meetings serve to inform everyone on the team on our performance in the past and come up with ways to improve safety and operation in the future. Together we discussed the trials and successes of the last quarter, reviewed our health and safety metrics from 2023, and broke down each of the different building blocks that contribute to team success. The NorCal team also facilitated an open discussion around areas of improvement and developed “solves” around each. Thank you to those in attendance for your honest participation in this All-Hands meeting! #SeeSomethingSaySomething

This March, our safety topic covers the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard. This standard provides a collective understanding and method of classifying chemicals or hazardous materials through informative labeling and preparation of Safety Data Sheets (SDS) across the industry. At ICS, we regularly practice the Hazard Communication Standard as our line of work frequently involves handling of hazardous materials, substances, and soils.
 
Our project sites are equipped with a site-specific Health and Safety Plan (HASP) that contains Safety Data Sheets (SDS) applicable to the project’s scope of work. SDS supplies the crew on-site with specific safety information on relevant materials containing certain chemicals or hazardous substances. Safety Data Sheets (SDS) play a pivotal role in our on-site operations, providing our crew with vital safety information to employ our team with sufficient knowledge to protect them against potential dangers. Additionally, our HAZWOPER certified field personnel have received extensive and informative training on handling and labeling procedures around hazardous materials. Hazard communication labeling requirements may include a pictogram, hazard statement, or a precautionary statement in addition to the product and supplier name. The practice of proper labeling practices enables accurate communication amongst those who may potentially encounter a hazardous material. Thank you to our project crews for maintaining this standard in the name of health and safety!

"Where We Started” - In April 1999, our two Innovative Construction Solutions (ICS) founders set out with a purpose: to build a different environmental construction company, on the foundation of building trust and lasting relationships - the “why” behind everything we do today. 

Reflecting on our humble beginnings, our journey began in Aliso Viejo within Co-Founder Hirad’s kitchen, where himself and Co-Founder John converted the kitchen space into a makeshift office! Later on, in our introductory year of business, Hirad and John set their sights on their first small office and warehouse space in Huntington Beach, where the two shared their office. Spending days in the field and nights in the office, they were laser-focused on delivering on their purpose by providing best-in-class responsiveness, service, and adding value whenever possible. Soon after the move, they made their first two permanent hires in the field, both who are still with the ICS family today!

Through trials and triumphs, our early opportunities and challenges shaped us. We solidified our core values while dedicating our daily lives to laying the foundation for what ICS is today. As we reflect on our 25-year journey, we're immensely proud of the legacy we've built through our work and the relationships we've nurtured since those formative years of 1999 from Hirad’s kitchen!

Our NorCal project teams are currently carrying out the final steps for the turnkey installation of a Passive Vapor Intrusion Mitigation System (VIMS) in Castro Valley, CA, for the protection of office workers at the new Castro Valley Sanitary District Building. Our scope of work on this project include the placement of approximately 420 tons of permeable gravel layer, installation of approximately 800 linear feet of VIMS piping and 14,466 sq ft of Drago wrap liner, sealing of the liner perimeter to the building footings and all pipe penetration, and smoke testing of the liner system. It’s important to note that this project unfolded amid challenging rainy conditions, and our project team has worked diligently to ensure that the weather will not interfere with the quality of the completed system. Team, thank you for your dedication and diligence to ensure the job is done right!
