Disaster Recovery Site - Water Booster Stations

Project Description

Hurricane Ian caused widespread damage to multiple water booster stations, affecting roofing, fencing, buildings, and critical equipment. Roofing systems sustained major losses, including missing shingles, fascia, soffits, ridge caps, drip edges, and canopy panels. Several facilities reported water intrusion, leading to saturated insulation, damaged drywall, and electrical component failures.

At individual stations, the high service pump house lost roof materials and experienced minor leakage; a portable office building was displaced from its foundation; the maintenance building was destroyed; and the pump house building sustained awning, drip edge, and door damage. Fencing systems were heavily compromised, with chain link, barbed wire, and perimeter gates damaged or destroyed, leaving large sections unsecured.

Additional damage included collapsed sheds, broken antenna masts, non-functional analyzers and UPS units, flooded chemical feed pumps, and compromised control panels. Lighting systems were also affected, with poles bent, toppled, or missing fixtures. Ground storage tanks across several sites showed exterior distress such as leaks, damaged ladder cages, and missing lightning rods. While no major structural failures were observed, detailed inspections by structural engineers are recommended.

Other impacts included broken piping, fallen trees and debris, roadway washouts requiring repaving, and communication antenna systems knocked offline.
