Power processing facilities experience billions of dollars of corrosion-related damage on metal and alloy materials each year. Allowing corrosion to persist can lead to operating failures, which can have fatal consequences. Power plant lay-ups are one of the methods that plant operators use to prevent corrosion. The protective measures are most effective when applied consistently and continuously.

The reasons for employing humidity control for power plants extend beyond corrosion prevention. It’s vital for protecting the plant’s most vital assets: its workers. Operations within a plant involve radiant heat sources, high humidity, strenuous activities and protective clothing that could cause serious heat-related illnesses (e.g., heat rash, cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke) or even death. While the ideal temperature for workers varies by individual, the acceptable range for ensuring employee health is narrow.

In most businesses and organizations, paper is king. The documents, reports, and records that you keep are critical to daily operations, making it important that you safeguard them from water damage. The best time to complete flood damage preparation for businesses is not necessarily when you hear reports about bad weather. The best time to take steps to protect your most important documents is well before a storm threatens your commercial property.

Not all water damage is the same. If you live in a coastal area, flood damage to documents caused by salt water will affect the respective items differently than damage caused by fresh water. By knowing how the different types of water affect documents, you can implement the best document recovery methods until professionals arrive.

Up to 40 percent of businesses do not recover after a disaster. The statistics are worse for those that suffer a major data loss, such as damaged documents and computer files. The best way to ensure quick business continuity after a hurricane is to have a disaster preparedness plan that includes a plan to recover, an asset inventory and a comprehensive document restoration plan.
