Featured Case Study

Fassio Egg Farm Fire

Process

In September 2017 mechanical equipment in an egg processing facility caught fire, causing smoke damage throughout the warehouse facility, and severe damage to the egg processing conveyer belt and nearby barns that contained live chickens. More than 100 firefighters fought the blaze, which resulted from a conveyor belt that malfunctioned. Firefighting efforts were hampered by shifting winds and lack of water. Tanker trucks and eventually helicopters were used to haul water to douse the flames. Over 150,000 gallons of water were used to finally contain the fire six hours later. Unfortunately, 300,000 chickens perished and two commercial hen houses were destroyed by fire.

The client reached out to Paul Davis Restoration of Utah, looking for immediate assistance in getting smoke damage cleaned. They had reached out to multiple other companies, and no one had the capacity or ability to complete the work. We were given a timeframe of one week to complete cleaning the smoke damage. This was due to the fact that the client was losing upwards of $100,000-$200,000 per day in lost revenue.

Challenges

  • We had to dispose of 300,000 eggs daily that remaining chickens were producing. Large containers were brought in to dispose of the eggs until the facility was up and running. We were given one week for our portion of the project. We were able to clean the entire facility while an in-house team took care of the conveyer belt.
  • Cleaning was completed using large lifts; including 2 scissor lifts, and one boom lift, to accommodate the 30 feet tall ceilings. A crew of 30-40 people were brought in to go through the entire facility for cleaning.
  • The food grade equipment was re-cleaned by a certified team to pass FDA inspection.

Project Duration:

One week for initial cleaning.
One additional week for minor drywall and painting repairs.

Project Cost:

$130K
