LOSS EVENT: FIRE & WATER DAMAGE

Manufacturing Facility

Illinois

In Batavia, IL, an explosion inside the main production facility at a manufacturing plant caused heavy fire, smoke, soot, and water destruction. Damage to the facility and manufacturing equipment was more than $8 million. In addition to impacting the main production lines and sub-assembly lines, the fire ignited combustible materials, causing additional damage to the plant’s operational equipment, and covering a large portion of the facility in soot.

Fire damage, at any scale, requires quick action because damages can become worse with every passing minute. Signal provided all the quick services the Batavia plant needed for a complete solution – from inventory and assessment, to containment, restoration, and reconstruction – all while limiting production down-time as much as possible.
