On Tuesday, August 11, 2026, a derecho with over 100mph winds tore through Lake County, Indiana.
Leaving businesses, homes, and our community without power for over two weeks.
When the power went down, our team didn't wait around.
We brought in two large generators (over 1000kW), got operations back online, and kept the steel moving.
Was it slower going? Sure.
But we didn't stop, and we didn't leave our customer hanging.
When things go wrong, our people show up, adapt, and figure out a way to get it done.
No excuses, no dropped balls.
A derecho can take out power lines -
It can't take out a team that refuses to let a customer down.
To the most GET IT DONE team there is, thank you.
