Rapid Fence Restoration After Dunwoody Thunderstorm
In the spring of 2007, a violent thunderstorm ripped through Dunwoody, toppling newly installed temporary fencing across multiple construction sites in the Kingswood area near Springfield. Wind gusts snapped posts like twigs, and twisted chain-link panels littered muddy lots—some still holding puddles from the downpour. With inspectors scheduled within 48 hours and subcontractors waiting to resume work, site security and OSHA compliance hung in the balance. Delays risked cascading penalties and halted progress on homes already behind schedule.
We mobilized our crew before dawn the next day, hauling replacement panels and heavy-duty steel posts from our Perimeter Site Fence yard. Our team worked through intermittent drizzle, resetting bases and tensioning new mesh with calibrated tools to meet OSHA 30 standards. Within two shifts, all three affected sites in Springfield and adjacent Dunwoody North were fully secured. The general contractor resumed framing by midweek without fines or safety violations.
They had our sites buttoned up before the city inspector even pulled in—no delays, no headaches.
