Securing a Flood-Impacted Biotech Perimeter Overnight
Heavy overnight rain left a partially installed temporary fence leaning into a biotech site near Mission Road, exposing sensitive outdoor equipment to potential theft and OSHA violations. Mud suctioned at our boots as we arrived—water pooling near unsecured electrical conduits. With lab operations resuming at 6 a.m., any delay risked halting critical research and violating Cal/OSHA site-safety protocols.
We dispatched two crews within 90 minutes, using tracked skid steers to avoid further ground compaction. Installed 320 linear feet of reinforced steel panel fencing with anti-climb mesh by 4:30 a.m., anchored in concrete-filled bases due to saturated soil. The site passed its morning safety audit, and research timelines stayed intact.
They showed up in the downpour and had us compliant before sunrise—no delays, no fines.
