In December of 2005 a large city water main in Tulsa ruptured. It left a 15-foot
hole in the street. Thousands of gallons of water poured into the basement and first floor of the nearby Williams Tower – the largest building in Oklahoma.

TRC quickly mobilized its large fleet of drying equipment. Water was being
extracted from the building literally within minutes of the initial call.

As workers outside the Tower coped with sub-freezing conditions, technicians
inside the building were dealing with a different kind of temperature problem. The Williams Companies’ Data Center was housed in the basement of the building.

Experienced TRC drying specialists made sure temporary environmental controls were maintained in order to prevent the servers from overheating while restoring the Data Center and the Tower itself to a safe and stable condition.

As a result of the efficiency and skill of TRC technicians utilizing of the kind of
equipment needed for a job of this size, people who worked in the massive Williams Tower were soon able to return to their jobs. A multi-million dollar loss was mitigated with a minimum of interruption to business activities.
