Hurricane Beryl Storm Response
Hurricane Beryl made landfall on July 8, 2024. We activated within 8 hours of the call from the Texas mutual-aid coordinator, mobilized 142 field staff from three regional yards, and spent 18 days helping restore power across the affected utility’s territory.

Project details.
The challenge we walked into.
Hurricane Beryl caused widespread damage across the ERCOT Gulf Coast — thousands of poles knocked down, wire on the ground across dozens of circuits, and substantial damage to substations at coastal yards. The host utility activated Texas mutual-aid for a multi-week restoration effort.
How we approached the work.
- 01
On the road within 12 hours
Our full-time emergency crews and pre-staged materials rolled from Houston, Atlanta, and Phoenix within 8 hours of the activation. Supply convoys followed within 24.
- 02
Self-sufficient base camp
We set up a base camp at a staging field with lodging, fuel, meals, and tool maintenance for an 18-day stay. Crew rotations kept production steady throughout.
- 03
Integration with the utility’s command structure
Daily reporting into the host utility’s emergency command system. Damage assessment crews rode with utility engineers; restoration crews worked through the priority list together.
What the client got.
Restoration completed on day 18. All 142 field staff demobilized cleanly. Cost-recovery documentation closed within 30 days of the event. The Texas mutual-aid coordinator issued a formal commendation to our team.
