Immediate Modular Buildings for Disaster Relief

What do we do after the most powerful storm of the century hits the Atlantic region? First, we cast down our heads and hearts, and mourn the loss of “all that was” before tragedy struck. And then… we rebuild. On the heels of Hurricane Harvey, Hurricane Irma tore her way through the Caribbean up through Florida, Georgia, and beyond on September 6^th, 2017 – leaving pure devastation in her path, leveling communities and stamping out power grids. The Category 5 storm delivered a deadly mix of flooding and wind. A desperate situation, but not one without hope. Communities have pulled together, including our team at Aries, in order to help the effort – in the form of modular buildings for disaster relief.

The Telegraph reports The devastation wrought by Hurricane Irma across the Caribbean will not dampen the region’s resolve to continue to be one of the world’s most popular holiday destinations, tourism bosses have said. Though some islands, notably the British Virgin Islands, Barbuda and St Martin, suffered extensive damage from one of the strongest storms to hit the region in a decade, the Caribbean tourist board said fewer than 10 per cent of hotels and resorts are set to be closed for longer than a week.

“The best way to help us rebuild is to continue with your holiday plans, keep making your holiday plans,” said Colin James, the CEO of the Antigua and Barbuda tourist board, the latter of which was reduced to “rubble” by Irma, which damaged 90% of the island’s buildings. “We are working very hard to help Barbuda, but it will take a year for repairs to be fully completed.”

Meanwhile, President Trump makes his third visit to storm-ravaged parts of the United States in the past few weeks after two major hurricanes, and he again praised the federal government’s performance. “We’re doing a good job in Florida,” Mr. Trump said to reporters on Air Force One, according to the New York Times.

The role of modular buildings for disaster relief efforts is a large one. Immediate solutions are what is needed, and portable buildings are a quick answer to the call for help. Those who have been affected by Hurricane Irma who are in need of emergency modular buildings may choose from the existing inventory of portable structures or request construction of a new building with custom design. Aries Building Systems can also provide emergency assistance on a larger scale, e.g., delivering a structure to serve as a temporary schoolhouse or medical facility.

It’s important to remember that modular building companies in Texas, Florida, Georgia, or the Caribbean aren’t always able to provide the “full scope” of services like Aries Buildings is capable of providing. Besides having the ability to finance, develop, design & manufacture modular buildings, Aries offers every option possible in the face of emergency housing or building needs:

Aries Provides Housing for Gerloff Company During Hurricane Harvey Cleanup and Restoration

Linda-Brooke2019-02-08T20:30:37+00:00

The worst of nature often brings out some of humanity’s best qualities. Diligent teamwork and neighborly support were on the forefront of recent cleanup and relief efforts after Hurricane Harvey left extensive damage on the Texas Coastal Bend.

Just days after Hurricane Harvey made initial strike, a large team of Gerloff Company’s fire and water damage restoration specialists set out to assess damage and begin restoring communities. The task at hand required a couple weeks of work, as multiple properties were restored from the damage they endured.

To accommodate the hard work of the Gerloff restoration team, Aries Residence Suites made available enough space to comfortably house more than 25 Gerloff personnel. The team stayed at the Three Rivers extended stay man camp. The comfort and privacy of the individual sleeping quarters and bathroom facilities were noted as much appreciated by the Gerloff team.

Aries is well accustomed to providing temporary housing for individuals working long, hard hours away from home, as a large part of their customer base is oil field workers. Comfort and hospitality are highly valued at Aries. The company understands the importance of having a truly comfortable, even homely, place to relax after a hard day’s work; and a hard day’s work certainly defines the efforts put forth by the Gerloff team.

Gerloff Company was quick to act, providing multiple commercial properties with water extraction services-using quality equipment and techniques to remove water from the premises and dry and restore building interiors and contents. Gerloff’s immediate response not only decreases the likelihood of long-term damage in the form of mold, mildew, etc., but also helped to ensure community business and livelihood could quickly resume.

The immediate accommodations made by Aries helped the Gerloff team’s immediate response be executed with ease and convenience. The renowned personability of the Aries staff also surely helped in keeping spirits high in a potentially stressful time. A Gerloff employee noted in an interview that the team has stayed at several different man camps in the past, and several employees stated, in comparison, that Aries is “the best one they have ever stayed at.” In true Texas spirit, the staff at Aries Three Rivers make genuine hospitality a priority.

Also in true Texas spirit, Mr. Darren Gerloff, Gerloff Company CEO, prepared food and drinks to provide to families and individuals in the affected area during the first weekend of the cleanup effort.

While nature and its fury may be unpredictable, these two companies stand prepared with consistently professional teamwork and generosity.

Gerloff Company can be contacted for emergency services, anytime, 24/7 at 512-926-8833 (Austin location) or 210-490-2777 (San Antonio main office).

Aries Residence Suites are seasoned in disaster relief services, as well, available to provide temporary housing for workforces or deliverable, modular homes for those directly affected by disaster. Aries can be contacted at 888-995-2971 or [email protected].
