FLOOD RESPONSE SERVICES

FLOOD RESPONSE 
SERVICES

After a winter of heavy snowfall, springtime means heavy flooding around the US. Seasonal storms and hurricanes also cause floods that devastate business properties, trains and railroad tracks.

Hulcher Services can perform a variety of initial response services, including:

 

  • Debris Removal
  • Track Restoration & Replacement
  • Track Panel Removal & Installation
  • Road Construction
  • Rock/Debris Hauling and Removal
  • Vacuum Truck Services
  • Environmental Site Remediation
  • Commodity Salvage and Reclamation

 

Hulcher crews can respond within one hour of your call, any time day or night. Our 24/7/365 call center and strategically-positioned divisions ensure that we can respond to wherever you need us. For major flood response we can deploy equipment from around the country and even bring in relief crews with our corporate jet if required.

Hulcher's flood response services are normally part of our storm, tornado and hurricane response projects.

Hulcher is ready to perform the long-term, restorative tasks after the initial response as well. For example, our undercutters and Air Spade® / vacuum truck combos can clean the mud and fouled ballast from tracks, switches and retarders that remain in place long after flood waters have receded. Our sidebooms and track loaders move large items like barges and boats that have become grounded by flood waters (pictured right). We can also perform traction motor changes and wheel changes as required by federal regulations after a flood.


Of course, prevention is the best option for flood control. Hulcher provides a variety of engineering and MOW services such as driftwood removal, ditch and culvert reconstruction , and grade stabilization and drainage system construction to improve water flow and run-off and reduce the risk of flooding.

Since 1963 railroads, government and industry have placed their confidence in Hulcher for a wide range of services. Our company is bonded, insured and highly rated with Dunn & Bradstreet. We maintain preferred vendor arrangements with top businesses and have long-established disaster response agreements with many railroads, grain companies, industrial businesses and government organizations.

Hulcher Services’ emergency response and disaster response services are available 24-hours a day, 365 days a year. Call Hulcher today at 833-316-0035 to learn more about our flooding, hurricane and storm response services. We welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss your organization's potential flood response requirements and make plans ahead of time so we are ready to address your specific needs if and when a storm hits.
* Analysis, containment, treatment, transport, and disposal of material are each conducted in full compliance with relevant federal and applicable state laws/ regulations (licensing, permitting, procedural and operational protocol) which sometimes requires the participation of fellow contractors engaged by the customer and/or Hulcher subcontractors.
