When Hurricane Irene hit at the end of August, the damage and devastation took a toll on Central Virginia. In particular, loss of power and tree damage impacted large numbers of people across the Tri-Cities.
IMS was able to help local power companies and tree service companies as they restored electricity by replacing or repairing transformers, removing trees from power lines, yards, and off homes. The cranes in our fleet of equipment were in high demand in the weeks following the storm, and many of our employees worked long overtime hours to help those in need.
