Mother Nature may have filled Houston's reservoirs, but the storm's impact lingers on construction sites. As you plan your return, here's a guide to essential cleaning equipment: ☑ Skid Steers: With grapple buckets, they efficiently clear debris piles. Brooms sweep walkways and parking lots, while pallet forks handle bulky materials. ☑ Excavators: For heavy-duty debris and structural damage, excavators are the go-to machines. ☑ Wheel Loaders: Their massive buckets scoop up mountains of material and quickly load them into dump trucks for transportation. ☑ Vacuum Trucks: They use powerful vacuums to remove debris without causing further damage, protecting delicate landscaping or handling asbestos and lead paint safely. Let's restore Houston together! #houstonstrong #constructioncleanup #stormrecovery #equipmentrental #safetyfirst

Sagging Roof Sections Signal Structural Issues! Sagging roof sections are a serious red flag indicating potential structural damage caused by heavy rain, snow, or previous storms. This could be a sign of weakened support beams, water damage, or even a compromised roof deck, all of which require immediate attention. Address sagging sections quickly to prevent further damage and maintain your roof’s stability. #RCAT #RoofingContractors #Texas #Commercialroofing #ResidentialRoofing #WaterproofingContractors #Contractorassociation #TexasRoofing

Addison Farms, a 270-acre residential development in Delaware, OH, faced stormwater challenges from rooftops and roadways. A 65x165 ft drainage channel was set to be armored with a tied concrete block (TCB) mat. However, Meredith Brothers, a distributor for InstaTurf® Soft Armor, recommended a more cost-effective and efficient alternative: InstaTurf ShearForce™10 hybrid-turf mat After approval from the City of Delaware, installation began in May. ShearForce10 was quick and easy to install, requiring no heavy equipment, and ready for any storm. New grass growth was visible within weeks, and ShearForce10 effectively prevented washouts and channel scour through heavy spring and summer storms.

Importance of verification underground service lines and utility lines layout before commencement of excavation works  You may not dig what I'm saying, but make the call first...it could save your life! Every six minutes an underground utility line is damaged or destroyed because an excavator did not properly mark the warning lines before digging. The depth and placement of utility lines can vary for a number of reasons including erosion, previous digging projects, and uneven surfaces, which makes planning and preparation very important. Making assumptions about where the utility lines are under your property can be extremely dangerous. Even striking a single line can result in injury, significant repair costs, fines, and inconvenient outages for you and your neighbors. The odds of avoiding disaster during these dig-ins improve by nearly 99% if lines are properly marked in advance. If protocols are not followed and 811 is not consulted, there can be significant damages -- not just to the immediate area, but the entire community. #SafetyFirst #StaySafe #SafetyAware #SecureLife #ProtectionPledge #SafetyCulture #SafeHands #PreventionPriority #SafetyIsKey #GuardedLif #SafeJourney #SafetyNet #SecureSteps #SafetyCheck #ProtectAndProsper #safetyjobs #experttrainersacademy

US Route 2: Protecting Lake Superior's Lifeline US Route 2 faced storm damage threatening bridge stability, risking closures and a long detour for drivers. To protect the bridge, over 100 two-ton rock bags were quickly placed around the piers to prevent further erosion. Ashland County and Wisconsin DOT engineers designed a precise frame for placing the rock bags, using an extra-long lifting chain to ensure safe and accurate installation without needing divers in Lake Superior's hazardous waters. The installation was completed efficiently in two days, showcasing expert collaboration and proactive measures to protect critical infrastructure along Lake Superior. Coleman Moore Company supplied the rock bags using Kyowa Filter Units, and in collaboration with Ashland County and Wisconsin DOT, successfully completed the project to protect US Route 2 from erosion.

National 811 Day is here! Every year on August 11 (8/11), damage prevention organizations make a special effort to promote safe digging practices and encourage people to call 811 before starting their digging or excavation projects. Whether you’re a professional excavator or homeowner, anytime you plan to dig into the ground, it’s the law to call 811 first. It’s the easiest way to make a difference — and prevent damages. When you do, your state’s 811 center sends a crew to mark the approximate location of buried utilities with paint or flags. This helps you avoid unintentionally digging into an underground utility line. https://hubs.la/Q02KTz6H0 #Call811 #damageprevention #811Day

Erosion is a constant threat to infrastructure, particularly around hydraulic structures like box culverts. The relentless force of water can carve out deep scour holes, undermining foundations and posing a serious risk to safety and structural integrity. The Kyowa Rockbags system effectively filled the scour hole, dissipating the energy of the flowing water and preventing further erosion. The result is a stabilized and protected culvert, ensuring its longevity and safeguarding the surrounding environment.
