What EAI, Inc. does

EAI, Inc. is a privately held specialty contracting firm founded in 1991 by Robert Carvalho, PG, headquartered in Jersey City, NJ with a wholly-owned Florida subsidiary, EAI-South, Inc., based in Fernandina Beach, FL. The company designs and installs vapor intrusion mitigation and waterproofing systems for commercial, retail, industrial, institutional, and government construction projects, primarily across 23 East Coast and Midwest states. Its work is concentrated on contaminated or brownfield redevelopment sites where soil gases (radon, methane, VOCs, petroleum hydrocarbons) and groundwater require engineered barriers, sub-slab depressurization (SSD), methane mitigation, and active monitoring systems to satisfy USEPA, NJDEP, and FDEP requirements before occupancy permits are granted.

The company's core technology is the certified installation of proprietary manufacturer products — notably CETCO Liquid Boot fluid-applied vapor barriers and GeoVent venting systems, Aquafin cementitious waterproofing, Soprema membranes, and GCP/Grace sheet membranes (Bituthene, Preprufe). Service modules extend the platform vertically: Phase I/II environmental site assessments, excavation and concrete work, underground storage tank management, sandblasting, specialty coatings, and tenting/heating for winter waterproofing work. The company reports 45M+ square feet installed across 500+ clients, including Port Authority of NY/NJ ($70M Holland Tunnel project), NYC School Construction Authority, LaGuardia Airport, Target, Costco, Whole Foods, Lowe's, JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Prologis, Hilton, Marriott, Chick-Fil-A, Exxon Bayway, and Nestle Waters.

EAI's business model is project-based specialty contracting with custom site-specific quotes priced on square footage, system type, and site conditions. The company sells through direct enterprise field sales to developers, general contractors, government agencies, and architecture/engineering firms, with no reseller or marketplace channels. It is a bondable union contractor whose revenue depends on winning sub-contracts and direct project awards from a base of repeat specification-driven customers, supported by referral flow from major general contractors (Whiting-Turner, Citnalta, Hunter Roberts, Silverite). There is no public revenue disclosure, no external funding, and the company remains founder-owned and operated.
