AJR Industrial Services

What AJR Industrial Services does

AJR Industrial Services, Inc. is a privately held industrial construction general contractor founded in 2008 and headquartered in Tennessee, operating as a corporation with active contractor licensure in Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Ohio. The firm delivers turnkey projects for chemical processing, refinery, pulp and paper, water and wastewater, food and beverage, power generation, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, mining, and agriculture facilities, with specialization in corrosion-resistant construction where material compatibility with aggressive chemicals is critical.

The company executes across ten integrated service lines: site preparation and concrete (including helical piles and containments), epoxy polymer coatings, ASME B31.3 process piping and mechanical work, FRP field services per ASME RTP-1, structural platforms and components, process and underground piping, chemical storage vessels up to one million gallons, process fume ventilation duct in FRP and thermoplastics, interior finishes and office buildout, and specialty rapid-response crews for confined space and emergency work. Its technical foundation is ASME-coded FRP and corrosion-resistant fabrication, supported by OSHA 10/30/500/501 and HAZWOPER 40 training across the field workforce and TWIC-badged personnel for port and security-cleared sites.

AJR generates revenue through project-based, quote-driven contracts awarded through direct enterprise engagement and prequalification on ISNetworld, Avetta, and Veriforce ComplyWorks. Founder Bill Walker, a chemical engineer with nearly two decades of plant experience, leads the company; no funding rounds, institutional investors, parent entities, or M&A activity are disclosed. Pricing is non-public and proposal-based, with formal written agreements required for binding commitments.
