The City of Asheville, NC faced catastrophic damage from Hurricane Helene in 2024, including flooding and hundreds of landslides, requiring a massive, long-term recovery of its infrastructure.

Davey mobilized 300 employees across 55 crews, specializing in the safe removal of limbs from power lines and infrastructure using utility bucket trucks. The project lasted around six months of continuous work. Davey's expertise accelerated the cleanup, allowing critical reconstruction efforts to progress and moving the city toward total recovery.
