After an unexpected fire, a recycling plant in Central Texas tasked Cotton Global Disaster Solutions with restoring its facility to its pre-loss condition as quickly as possible. While walking the loss site, the Cotton team verified and documented that the fire had burned sections of the building and that the extinguishant used had contaminated the interior recyclable materials, the client’s sole income asset. The smoke and water also destroyed machinery, insulation, exhaust fans, and lighting equipment. After completing the walk-through, Cotton worked with the client’s CEO and insurance carrier to customize a 4-phase Scope of Work, which included the expeditious removal and disposal of impacted materials and the sort and separation of salvageable materials. Most importantly, it allowed for the plant to remain fully operational throughout the project.
