roof collapse wd

**PaulDavisBrunswickGeorgia** · 08-27-2010, 09:28 PM

Had quite the busy week, we responded to a roof collapse that also took out a 6" sprinkler main that services an entire shopping center. To make matters worse the roof area could not be tarped or fixed before all the lawyers and engineers could make multiple site visits to take it all in. It still is not covered but we have taken steps to prevent additional flooding of the adjoining stores but not before we were hit with 3 more torrential down pours shutting the entire job site down 3 different times and making us extract nearly the entire 31,000 sq feet affected 3 times. Here are just a few shots of the hundreds we have on file

We have been fortunate in that we have not had rain since the initial weekend. Tomorrow is the first day that the steel compnay is going to brace up the main beams and allow for workers to get in the main part of the store and create a smaller containment area for the water that drains in from the roof. It was a controlled chaos for 7 days but once we set up the trench system and plastic sand/dams we had it under control. We also brought in a 20hp 4" trash pump to remove water out of the 3'x3'x3' pit we dug out of the concrete
