Flexhead Helps Minimize Earthquake Damage To Store
Flexhead Industries recently reported that its product
helped minimize the damage in a Kohl’s department store after a 6.5 earthquake
hit the Bayshore Mall in Eureka, Calif., earlier this
year. According to a report in theEureka Times Standard, the Kohl’s
store was the first to open back up in the mall. Other stores in the mall had
to shut down for days to repair the damage in the sprinkler system. FlexHead
reported its product allowed the sprinkler head to move during the quake
without causing damage to the sprinkler system. Unfortunately, the shaking
breached hard-pipe sprinkler drops protecting the rest of the mall, causing
damage estimated at $6 million.
