Records losses for a non-profit organization could prove catastrophic. In addition to potentially crippling operations, losses could be a violation of federal and state document retention policies, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Because records-related incidents could have implications that a non-profit might not expect, it is wise to create a document retention policy with retention schedules, as well as a disaster preparedness plan that includes document drying and restoration.

It takes more than construction materials and the right tools to build a healthy home. Forward-thinking contractors add construction moisture management into building plans to not just stay on schedule and within budget, but also prevent future problems that could compromise the quality of craftsmanship and homeowner health. Construction drying services allow to contractors to control the temperature, relative humidity levels and ventilation rates at their sites to keep materials dry, allow wet materials to dry and cure properly, and prevent corrosion and mold growth. As a result, the equipment keeps home builders working all year round while promoting pride and peace of mind in those who live in the properties constructed.

In 1995, about three-quarters of the schools in the U.S. were built before 1970. When the U.S. General Accounting Office released this information in a report; it added that nearly 60 percent of school buildings had unsatisfactory environmental conditions. A growing number of studies throughout the decades have found that conditions within school buildings have a significant impact on teachers and students. Because facility quality is a predictor of student health and learning, as well as teacher retention, more schools are upgrading their comfort systems and looking to temporary climate control and building layup services to maintain the health of their buildings.

A structured environment in which children learn is a fairly new concept in the history of humankind. The idea of what makes schools “good” has evolved dramatically in the last century, and the subject of school building design continues to be debated and studied today. Understanding how environmental standards in schools have changed to provide students with healthier environments helps stakeholders better appreciate the importance of building layup services and temporary climate control.

Concrete is the most widely used material on the planet. Its abundance, affordability and incredible strength form the foundation of the modern world—from buildings to bridges.
