CASE STUDY

RETAIL MANUFACTURING FLASH FLOOD

Cotton set-up satellite office with generators and potable water during the duration of the project.

Retail Manufacturing Flash Flood

Historic flooding ravaged a local community, inundating most of the city’s businesses with severe water damage. A major industrial manufacturing plant in the area experienced over four feet of water intake across 21 buildings on its 150-acre facility. Following the recision of floodwaters, Cotton’s Emergency Response Team dispatched restoration, logistical, and emergency catering support services within 24-hours.

Once on-site, Cotton performed initial incident assessments, established strategic remediation plans based on the client’s designated priorities, set up equipment, and began the recovery process to restore facility operations. Logistical support facilities, including emergency power, temporary climate-controlled structures, potable water services, fuel, sewer, and necessary electrical hookups were provided. In addition, Cotton provided food services to those on-site.
