Naval Base Under Water:
GDR USA uses Dryvex™ Technology to dry flooded buildings at Millington Naval Base

Historic flooding throughout Tennessee ravaged many communities. When floodwaters brought operations at the Millington Naval Base to a grinding halt, Global Disaster Recovery USA felt the pressure to quickly bring things back to normal. 

With nearly the all the structures at the base flooded with up to 4 ft (1.2 m) of water, GDR USA relied on the heat generated by the Dryvex™ MC5200 drying system to quickly dry several of the more critical office buildings. By removing more moisture faster, Dryvex™ helped to minimize drying time and get base operations up and running.  more 

Dryvex™ Extra…
...the True Costs of Drying with Dryvex™ vs. Desiccant

The daily cost difference between operating the Wacker Neuson Dryvex™ MC5200 and desiccant drying systems may seem negligible when looking at the surface. Yet after digging deeper to factor in the long term costs – drying time, fuel expenditures, purchase price and maintenance – the true time and cost savings offered by the MC5200 become very evident.  more 

Dryvex™ Cuts Drying Time by Nearly 50%:
MC 5200 & Cub 200 beat desiccant drying system hands down in Atlanta

Atlanta’s 500-year flood event in September left homes submerged in water for days. Metro DKI relied on all the equipment in its restoration arsenal to quickly dry and restore properties in a lakeside subdivision with million-dollar homes flooded by more than 3 ft of water.

Included in the cache of equipment were both the Wacker Neuson MC 5200 open drying system and a 5,000 CFM desiccant dryer. In the end, desiccant proved to be no match for Dryvex™, as the MC 5200 dried a larger house in nearly half the time and for less money.  more 

Dyvex™ Debuts at Renowned ASD Training Center

The Dryvex™ MC5200 open drying system recently was the featured drying unit at Hydro Lab’s ASD training course in Cicero, Ind. The MC5200 provided the heat and airflow necessary to quickly dry a structure flooded to test and teach advanced drying techniques to restoration contractors. The unit’s concept impressed officials at Hydro Lab’s sister company, Bold Core Response. So much so, they purchased a Wacker Neuson Cub 700 air heater for a large restoration project in Indianapolis.   more 

Restoration in the Heartland

The historic 2008 flooding in Coralville, Iowa, left nearly 4.5 feet of floodwater in the first floor of the Heartland Inn for 10 days. After the waters receded, restoration contractor, Dream Steam, brought in two Dryvex MC5200s from Wacker Neuson Climate Technology to quickly dry the 25,450 ft² first floor in order to avoid secondary damage to the upper floors of the hotel.   more 

Dryvex Schools Dehumidifiers

When an 8-in water main broke and flooded the entire first floor of a school building, Bismarck, North Dakota’s Specialized Cleaning & Restoration, Inc. was on site within 30 minutes to evaluate the loss. Within the first 10 minutes of analysis, Specialized Restoration’s crew knew this was the perfect job for Dryvex™ technology. Using two Dryvex MC5200s saved the school tens of thousands of dollars and allowed officials access to the building much more quickly.  more

To get the fitness club back in shape, the HW 3 Group quickly put the Dryvex MC 5200 open drying system into operation. The limited ventilation access at the sublevel location was no match for Dryvex, and the structure was quickly dried in less than five days.  more
