EMERGENCY WORK
HOW STERLING HELPS IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS
In emergency scenarios, the importance of reliable site access solutions cannot be overstated. Our mats play a vital role in stabilizing ground conditions, ensuring the safety of workers, and expediting the restoration process. Our customer service team is available to take calls 24 hours a day to serve your emergent work needs. And when the threat of severe weather becomes apparent, our crews are ready to quickly develop and implement a safe and reliable site access plan that will get your team onsite to restore power quickly – even in flooded or frozen areas. Here’s what you can expect when you call on Sterling for post-storm support:
- We will gather information to determine the workforce, equipment, and products you will need to complete critical emergency restoration services.
- You are assigned a project manager and field operations team who will respond to the location as soon as possible.
- At the jobsite, the foreman and crew work with your safety team to ensure that we follow all protocols.
- Our 24/7 logistics team will coordinate the prompt shipment of mats and equipment to your jobsite.
Downed Powerlines
Electrical towers can be in difficult to reach places, making repairs challenging. Our site access mats can provide quick and easy access through farm fields, forests, and other sensitive environments, so crews can reach the affected area without causing additional risk to the land, equipment, vehicles, or themselves.
Hurricane and Tornado Damage
After hurricanes and tornados, many streets and other infrastructure could become inaccessible due to storm damage. Our mats and expedited site access solutions can provide a clearer thoroughfare, so heavy equipment and construction vehicles can access affected areas – facilitating fast and efficient rebuilding operations.
Flooding
Flooded areas pose significant dangers and challenges to people and equipment, as deep standing water can impede the movement of equipment and hide submerged dangers. Our site access mats can help create a dry, stable surface for emergency response vehicles and crew to navigate through these high-water areas.
Pipeline Restoration
Pipeline damage can cause oil, gas, or other substances to leak, creating an unclean, unsafe, and otherwise dangerous environment for crew members to work. Our mats can be used to provide a stable and clean surface to avoid contaminant spread by equipment and to prevent falls and slips that could occur due to unstable and slippery areas.
Civil Work
Repairing damaged structures in urban areas is challenging since many public spaces, like pedestrian sidewalks, cannot safely support the weight of heavy construction equipment. Site access mats make this possible by distributing the load across a larger area, protecting the ground surface itself, and facilitating more stable movement of equipment.
