Challenge

In the summer of 2015, Greif faced a critical situation when heavy storms in Northeast Ohio caused the collapse of a section of the roof at their Massillon facility. With production halted, the immediate need was to swiftly address the damage and resume operations.

Need

To address this urgent situation, Greif turned to CEI Crane & Rigging, a long-time partner with a reputation as the “fire department of the rigging industry.”

Result

Under the leadership of President Brian Selinsky, CEI Crane & Rigging mobilized quickly, assessing the damage, stabilizing the area, and efficiently removing debris. The solution involved deploying a 110 Ton All Terrain Crane, a telescopic material handler, boom lifts, chop saws, torches, and welders for a comprehensive restoration.
“We always strive to develop a project plan that meets the needs and timeframe of our customers.”

Recognizing the urgency of the situation, President Brian Selinsky quickly assessed the storm damage and had a crew mobilized by Monday to begin cleanup and repair operations. CEI Crane & Rigging focused first on stabilizing the area, then efficiently removing debris to create a safe and controlled work environment. Their rapid response and planning ensured the site was prepared for restoration without unnecessary delays.

The team deployed a 110 ton all terrain crane along with a telescopic material handler, boom lifts, chop saws, torches, and welders to support a thorough and effective cleanup. This strategic use of equipment allowed the work to progress smoothly and demonstrated CEI Crane & Rigging’s ability to manage complex and demanding restoration challenges. As a result, the cleanup was completed within a week of the storm, enabling Greif to expedite repairs and resume operations while minimizing impacts to production time and finances.

Throughout the project, CEI Crane & Rigging reinforced its commitment to 24 7 emergency response and reliable execution. From storm damage to unexpected events such as train derailments, the company remains prepared to respond quickly and safely.
