CASE STUDY #9: Ft. Supply ISD

Customer:   Fort Supply ISD Event:         Roof Collapse Services:     24-Hour Emergency Response                   Environmental Controls                   Demolition In April, 2009, an early Spring blizzard dumped snow estimated at up to as much as 30 inches on parts of Western Oklahoma. The weight of the heavy, wet snow was too much for the roof of the Fort Supply School gymnasium. Steel girders twisted like sticks of licorice candy. The resulting roof collapse also caused the loss of natural gas service to an adjacent “cafetorium” (a combination cafeteria and auditorium with stage area) and elementary classrooms. Within a few hours of the initial call, TRC dispatched portable DX Heater, a desiccant dehumidifier and auxiliary power units. TRC technicians worked to stabilize the environmental atmosphere in the cafetorium and classrooms making it possible for classes to resume. After securing an adjoining wall and ensuring the safety of students occupying the nearby areas, TRC started selected demolition of the gymnasium to make way for restoration of the area.
