Facility Support — Wichita, KS
An Embedded Facility Support Team for Wichita Manufacturing
Trash, recycling, and hazardous waste logistics on the production floor. Paint booth service and filter replacement. Industrial cleaning and hazmat response. One team, one firm-fixed contract, managed by iSi — zero headcount on your books. iSi's crews and account management are headquartered in Wichita, so embedded teams are built from the local labor market and supervised from the home office.
The Three Streams on Your Floor Are Not One Job
Every production facility runs three waste streams: trash, recycling, and hazardous waste. The first two are logistics. The third is a regulated operation — container management, labeling, accumulation time limits, and weekly inspections under rules like the satellite accumulation requirements at 40 CFR 262.15 — and a janitorial contract is not built to carry it. So the work lands on production and maintenance labor, a container quietly overstays its clock, and the finding shows up in the next inspection.
Booth maintenance follows the same pattern. Spray and paint booth housekeeping and filter obligations under OSHA 1910.107(g) are scheduled production support, not an afterthought — and when they slip, the cost shows up twice: as housekeeping findings an inspector reads as program failure, and as unplanned booth downtime in the middle of a production schedule.
An embedded iSi team owns all three streams and the booth cycle as its full-time job — trained to the regulation, scheduled against your production calendar, and accountable to KPIs instead of a call-in work order.
What the Embedded Team Owns
In-Plant Waste & Recycling Logistics
Floor-level collection, consolidation, and staging of trash and recycling on a production schedule — plus handling and licensed disposal of hazardous and industrial waste, satellite accumulation area discipline, and removal of contaminated soil and media.
Paint & Spray Booth Maintenance
Scheduled booth service and filter replacement, residue and housekeeping management, and coordination with production so booth maintenance happens in planned windows instead of emergencies.
Industrial Cleaning
Industrial dust cleaning, pit and sump cleaning, pressure washing, and decontamination of equipment and structures on a recurring schedule — the housekeeping baseline inspectors and auditors measure a facility by.
Hazardous Materials Response
An on-call response capability that integrates with your facility's Incident Command structure — immediate containment assessment, environmental sampling, and regulatory notification support from the same team that already knows your floor.
Built for Wichita's Manufacturing Base
Wichita's aircraft manufacturing corridor runs on coating lines, chemical processing, and high-volume fabrication — operations that generate exactly the waste streams and booth-maintenance workload an embedded team exists to own. iSi has supported aerospace manufacturing in this market for decades, including long-term embedded contracts at large aircraft plants.
Federal RCRA sets the baseline and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) administers the program where your plant sits. Because iSi is also an environmental compliance and industrial hygiene firm, the embedded team has direct access to that regulatory expertise — RCRA, NESHAP, OSHA 1910/1926 — that a standalone cleaning or staffing contractor doesn't carry.
How the Contract Works
A dedicated account manager is your single point of contact. Staffing levels are set at contract start and adjusted through a defined change process; coverage scales to multiple shifts and weekend or holiday support where the operation requires it. iSi reports against agreed KPIs covering quality, cost, and schedule, with regular governance reviews alongside your team.
Pricing is firm-fixed and multi-year with a defined annual adjustment formula, so your budget is predictable for the life of the contract. Personnel are trained, background-checked, and managed by iSi from day one — when someone leaves, iSi replaces them.
The cost of running it the other way compounds quietly: OSHA serious violations — housekeeping and accumulation findings among them — run up to $16,550 each ($165,514 willful or repeated), and every production hour spent hauling waste or changing filters is capacity you paid for twice.
Facility Support in Wichita — Questions
What does an embedded facility support contract in Wichita cover?
A dedicated account manager is your single point of contact. The on-site team owns the floor-level environmental workload: trash and recycling logistics, hazardous waste handling and licensed disposal, satellite accumulation area discipline, paint and spray booth service and filter replacement, industrial cleaning, and hazmat response. Staffing is set at contract start and adjusted through a defined change process; coverage scales to multiple shifts and weekends where the operation requires it. Pricing is firm-fixed and multi-year with a defined annual adjustment formula.
Why can't our janitorial vendor handle the hazardous waste stream?
Because the third stream is a regulated operation, not cleaning. Hazardous waste containers, labeling, accumulation time limits, and weekly inspections sit under RCRA rules such as the satellite accumulation requirements at 40 CFR 262.15, and the people doing the work need training that matches the task. A general janitorial contract is not built for that — which is how the work ends up absorbed by production labor. An embedded iSi team carries the training and runs the stream as its job.
Is iSi's facility support team actually based in Wichita?
Yes. Wichita is iSi's headquarters. Embedded crews for Wichita facilities are hired locally, trained and managed by iSi, and supervised from the home office at 215 S. Laura — account management sits in the same city as your plant.
What does getting this wrong cost?
Two ways, and the quieter one is bigger. OSHA serious violations — housekeeping and accumulation findings among them — run up to $16,550 each, with willful or repeated at up to $165,514. The quieter cost is production labor: every hour an operator or maintenance tech spends moving waste, changing booth filters, or staging containers is an hour of production capacity spent on work an embedded support team exists to own.
