It is often said that adversity builds character. But in some cases, it also helps build a better piping system.
During a recent cold and snowy snap, a combination of a heavy snowpack and high winds caused a portion of the roof to collapse at the head-quarters of IVP Plastics in Washington, Illinois. Fortunately, no one was injured (the collapse took place on a Saturday), and the damage was somewhat mitigated by the presence of a crane rail running the length of the ceiling.
