TMG Manufacturing Donates to Texas Tornado Victims
Many Rowlett Residents Lost Their Homes to the Dec. 26, 2015 Tornado
The Wright family was one of hundreds of Rowlett, Texas, residents that lost their homes to the deadly tornado on Dec. 26, 2015. Many homes remain in disrepair in the damage area and some families have run out of options. In addition to the pain of tornado damage, many homeowners in the area have to deal with the struggle of insurance issues and bad contractors. Hood says she has seen enough.
The repairs will utilize the new CSR174 drilling machine built by TMG Manufacturing.
“This incredible drill rig is designed to achieve maximum torque and depth for helical pier applications. The rig is unique in that it is extremely efficient and utilizes a proprietary 4 speed gearbox that allows for accurate control of both speed and torque,” said Cathy Hood. 2000 Industries is the first rig dealer of TMG materials and rigs in the DFW Metroplex.
Before the project kicked off, Fortress Foundation Systems and their local partner 2000 Industries were eager to get started.
“We can't have a homeowner rebuilding on a slab we suspect is unstable. We wouldn't want our family living that way, nor would we want that for someone living right here in our own community,” Hood says. This particular area of Rowlett has some of the most expansive clays in the Dallas Fort Worth area.
