Audas Environmental

What Audas Environmental does

Audas Environmental, LLC is a privately held, founder-owned environmental consulting firm established around 1990-1993 by Ted M. Audas and headquartered in Calvert City, Kentucky, with a regional branch in Indianapolis, Indiana. The firm provides environmental consultation, industrial hygiene monitoring, asbestos and lead abatement, indoor air quality assessment, noise dosimetry, and construction safety staffing to enterprise clients in the power generation (fossil, hydro, nuclear) and chemical/manufacturing sectors across the U.S. Midwest and Southeast. Named customers include Duke Energy, DuPont, AES Corporation, Ashland, Westlake, Hoosier Energy, Big River Electric, and DSM Engineering Plastics.

The company's underlying technology stack is physical and field-based rather than software-centric. Core technical capabilities center on mobile on-site Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM) and Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) laboratories that allow immediate asbestos analysis during projects and outages, eliminating sample shipping latency. The service offering is delivered by 8-14 certified industrial hygienists and field technicians (including CIH and CHMM credentials) with multi-state licensing across Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Illinois, North Carolina, and South Carolina.

The business model is project-based professional services billed through consulting engagements, lab analysis fees, and on-site safety staffing, with 24/7 emergency response availability. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales driven primarily by referral and reputation within the industrial client base; no digital marketing channels or publicly disclosed pricing exists. The firm holds a founder-ownership structure with no institutional funding, no subsidiaries, and no documented M&A activity, and remains operationally independent.
