Flood Success 2: The Moore Company
After a massive flood, mobilizing for clean-up, settling the claim and getting back into business fast
Working Together: Moore Company and FM Global
When a flood submerged the Moore Company under four feet of water, their first call was to FM Global. Within a day, they had an action plan to get back up and running.
The Moore Company, a privately held, fourth-generation, family-run company headquartered in Rhode Island, USA, has been in operation for more than a century. It is a reputable manufacturing business with five diverse branches. One of its core products is Darlington Fabrics, makers of elastic spandex fabric.
In March 2010, a massive flood pounded the Darlington facility, infiltrating it with 4 feet (1.2 meters) of water. For a brief moment, it looked like four generations of manufacturing would come to an end. That is, until FM Global and Moore partnered to launch a full-scale, all-hands-on-deck cleanup effort that would return the plant to full capacity at a dizzying pace.
Here's the story of that event in the words of the people who witnessed it firsthand.
