A major supplier of airplane parts suffered a devastating fire that destroyed three-quarters of a 9,000-square-foot roof, along with offices, production areas, and a portion of the shell room.
ATI successfully completed both cleanup and reconstruction in a timely manner with limited interruption of work and minimized downtime, allowing the client to continue production during the restoration process.
The Situation
A major supplier of airplane parts for commercial, private and government sectors suffered a devastating fire that destroyed one of its manufacturing plants in Port Hueneme, Calif. Three-quarters of the 9,000-square-foot roof structure was destroyed along with the offices, production area and a portion of the shell room.
The Solution
ATI was contracted to remove the collapsed roof structure, fire-damaged debris, equipment and machinery, and temporarily shore the existing block walls. The scope of work not only included cleanup but also reconstruction. The crew also restored power and temporary services to the attached foundry area so the company could continue production during the restoration process.
Working closely with the client, ATI minimized the supplier’s down time. It remained operational during the majority of repairs, shutting down for only short periods to enable necessary work. Successful completion of the job in a timely manner resulted in an extremely satisfied client.
