Classroom after the fire

Classroom after cleaning

Back to School

Fire completely destroyed the teacher’s lounge building at this Walnut Creek School. Starting in a dumpster outside an exterior bathroom the fire quickly spread affecting four classrooms and other attached rooms. The stand-alone teacher’s lounge was not salvageable and American Technologies, Inc. crews had to tear it down to the foundation. A temporary teacher’s lounge and bathroom facility were built for use during the reconstruction process.

American Technologies, Inc. worked diligently to get the classrooms back into operation immediately. The scope of work included re-roofing, detailed contents cleaning, debris removal, deodorization and structural repairs.

School authorities had not expected the classrooms to reopen by the end of the school year and were very pleased when the project was completed with months to spare.
