What American Integrated Services, Inc. does

American Integrated Services, Inc. (AIS) is a privately held, California-domiciled environmental and industrial services company founded in 1998 by David Herrera. The firm delivers turnkey environmental construction, industrial demolition, waste management, specialty transportation, industrial cleaning/decontamination, oilfield support, and 24/7 emergency response services to enterprise and government clients, primarily across California and the U.S. Gulf Coast. Core service lines are bundled as a single integrated offering so that AIS self-performs the majority of each project using a 425-plus-person in-house workforce trained to OSHA, 29 CFR 1910.120 (HAZWOPER), and confined-space standards. AIS holds contractor licenses in seven states (California, Arizona, Louisiana, Washington, Oregon, Arkansas, Virginia) and is a California Certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE #2BS0013).

The company's underlying technical stack centers on physical asset and method capability rather than software. Differentiated assets include proprietary HAKI scaffolding-based Full Enclosure Units, tensioned fabric tent structures for dust and odor control, portable containment units, and the Dust Boss misting system for fugitive-dust suppression during structural demolition. These assets are deployed alongside an owned fleet of hydraulic cranes, high-reach excavators, roll-off and vacuum trucks, tankers, and straight trucks, enabling self-performance across dust control, mechanical and explosive demolition, soil excavation and capping, hydrocarbon-impacted soil remediation, and tank cleaning.

AIS operates on a project-based, quote-driven professional services revenue model. Pricing is custom for each engagement; documented individual contract values range from roughly $1.0 million to $9.0 million, with multi-year cadences on enterprise and government engagements. Work is sourced through enterprise field sales, with direct relationships and referrals supporting bottom-of-funnel demand and RFP processes for larger engagements. AIS markets itself through project case studies, an ENR Top 30 All-Environmental Firms analyst ranking (recognized seven consecutive years, #19 in FY2024/FY2025), community sponsorships, and safety-content publications. The firm is led by President David Herrera alongside EVP John Georgagi, VP Operations Josh Whittaker, VP Specialty Transportation/Key Accounts Melynda Borrego, and CTO Razmik Gozalians.
