In an insurance case involving hurricane damage to a large manufacturing plant, we received over 100 GB of data from the client. This involved photos, cost estimates, repair estimates for each piece of major equipment, weather data, depositions, building investigation reports and other related information.
We organized and sorted the data so the hurricane damage to each of 2100 pieces of equipment could be evaluated against wind damage and flood damage. The equipment included large cranes, roll presses, CNC Machines, industrial lathes, boring machines and others. The equipment was sorted by type of equipment, building damage and location within the building to aid in this evaluation.
Each component of the machine was evaluated in its sensitivity to moisture and the repairs required to repair the machine. We were therefore able to determine the exact components of the machine that were damaged by the wind driven rain and the components that were only damaged by the flood waters.
