P&J has extensive experience responding to natural and man-made disasters
In 1989, P&J entered the disaster response market with Hurricane Hugo’s impact on the South Carolina coast. We’d spent the previous decades building a name for ourselves as a land clearing contractor, and we saw opportunities to deploy our land clearing expertise in handling and processing vegetative debris, so we leveraged our ability to rapidly deploy resources and scale to meet operational needs. Since our early response efforts, P&J has responded to significant disasters ranging from hurricanes to ice storms to man-made disasters, including the 9/11 World Trade Center Terrorist Attacks. P&J’s Disaster Response market has focused mainly on vegetative debris, and through that work, we gained extensive experience orchestrating rapid mobilization and competently scaling resources, often in challenging conditions. We grew our reputation as a market maker by deploying sophisticated
processes, developing alternate pricing structures, and successfully executing missions. As we responded to disasters in the 2000s, we started to develop tracking technology and began exploring Automated Debris Management Systems (ADMS). Storm TM , our in-house developed and named ADMS, was deployed in 2011 when P&J responded to the tornado outbreak in Alabama. This innovative technology was the first ADMS developed from a contractor-led perspective, and our use on this US Army Corps of Engineers project streamlined quality assurance procedures to help reconcile and process load tickets more quickly and with less user error than on previous projects. Having a direct technology partnership has allowed us to customize and update our ADMS as we continue to use it on the job, and we have taken advantage of technological
