Demolition

Demolition is an integral part of any location’s recovery from a major disaster, and RPF Emergency Services, LLC has successfully executed widespread demolition projects in a variety of locales.

In the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Gustav, we were responsible for the demolition of over 2,500 homes throughout the State of Louisiana in Washington, Jefferson, Terrebonne and Orleans parishes. The FEMA demolition, Selective Salvage demolition and the Strategic Demolition projects, which have been in effect since 2007, are responsible for the elimination of over 2,000 blighted properties. We also recently provided demolition services to the City of Lake Charles following devastating hurricanes in 2020 and 2021.

RPF Emergency Services, LLC employs several additional management personnel who are well-versed in General Disaster Management and Disaster Response. We have trained personnel on hand who have the knowledge and experience to complete temporary housing installations. In addition, RPF maintains association with scores of subcontractors from around the county, all of which are available to assist in the development of temporary housing projects.

Marine Debris Removal

RPF Emergency Services, LLC has a proven tract record for safely executing marine debris removal projects. Following consecutive landfalls of hurricanes in Houston, Texas, local waterways and canals became flooded with debris. We were called to action to perform debris removal and mechanical dredging to clear waterways promoting water flow and safe travel. To date, we have collected over a hundred thousand cubic yards of marine debris and silt for relocation in landfills and disposal areas. Click here to learn more.

Safely removing overgrowth around public utilities has become an area of expertise for RPF Emergency Services, LLC. We take pride in our thorough planning and execution of high voltage electrical line clearance projects. Whether it’s a few feet or a hundred feet above the ground, our crews meticulously and methodically prune or remove hazardous vegetation around transmission lines and transformers for utility customers throughout the country.

We are currently executing an active preventative and emergency maintenance project in Northern California. Our bucket lift and climbing crews remove thousands of hazardous trees and limbs from neighborhoods throughout the Napa and Sacramento Valleys on an hourly basis.
