Restoring Operations After Severe Flooding at Industrial Facility
In June 2012, severe flash flooding struck the North-East of England, with some areas receiving a month’s worth of rain in just a few hours. One river burst its banks and caused significant flood damage to a precision machining facility and warehouse just 50 metres away. Water mixed with drain overflow and oil-based contaminants swept through 70,000 ft² of the site, submerging industrial machinery, stock, critical x-rays, and documents in up to 60cm of water.
