Disaster Relief & QRT
24/7 emergency response for hurricanes, refineries and industrial incidents. Deployed in hours, not days.
When a building goes out of service, the work does not stop — it just has nowhere to happen. ACME’s Quick Response Team puts covered, powered, climate-controlled space on the ground fast. The QRT line is 713-729-2424 ext. 22, answered 24/7.
Quick Response Team
Incident response and unplanned outages, on site while the investigation runs.
Gulf Coast storm recovery — shelter, staging and distribution points.
What Does “Quick Response” Mean In Hours?
It means a phone answered at 3am by someone who can send a truck.
Emergencies do not keep business hours, and the gap between an incident and a working space is measured in shifts, not weeks. Our QRT line runs 24/7 and our yard is at 11144 S Post Oak — inside Houston, minutes from the refining corridor, not a dispatch centre in another state.
That matters most in the case people forget: when a storm hits this region, it hits us too. We are a local company responding to our own city, which is why the line is answered rather than queued.
What Do Emergency Structures Actually Do?
They replace a building’s function, not its walls.
A tent becomes the break room when the break room is condemned. The muster point. The staging area for recovery crews. Dry storage for equipment that cannot get wet. A command post with power and climate so people can actually work in it.
None of that is shelter in the abstract sense. It is specific: hundreds of workers still need somewhere to eat, coordinate and rest, and the structure has to arrive with power and climate control or it is just canvas.
Who Calls The QRT?
Three kinds of caller, with three different clocks.
Industry. Refineries and chemical plants where a fire, a storm or an equipment failure takes a facility out mid-operation. See also turnaround and maintenance.
Storms. Hurricane season on the Gulf Coast — roofs off, buildings flooded, whole facilities out of service at once.
Communities. Distribution points, relief centres and municipal response, where the structure is going up while people are queueing for it.
What Should You Sort Out Before You Need Us?
The five minutes that save a day.
Know where a tent could physically go on your site, and whether a truck can reach it. Know who is authorised to say yes at 3am. Have the QRT number somewhere other than one person’s phone.
For facilities that genuinely cannot stop, this is worth a conversation before hurricane season rather than during it — a walked site and an agreed plan turn a scramble into a phone call.
QRT line: 713-729-2424 ext. 22, 24/7.
Emergencies Do Not Keep Business Hours
The Quick Response Team line is answered 24/7 by someone who can send a truck. If your facility cannot stop, call us before the season rather than during it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Hours, not days, for Greater Houston and the Gulf Coast. Our yard is at 11144 S Post Oak – inside the city, minutes from the refining corridor. The QRT line is answered 24/7 by someone who can dispatch, not a message service.
713-729-2424, extension 22, answered 24 hours a day. Programme it somewhere other than one person’s phone.
Break rooms and lunch facilities when buildings are unusable, muster points, staging areas for recovery crews, dry equipment storage, command posts, and distribution or relief centres. With power and climate control it replaces the function of the building, not just the roof.
They can, and usually should. A tent with no power and no climate is canvas. We supply generators, distribution, lighting, heating and cooling with the structure, sized to what you actually need to run inside it.
Yes – it’s a large part of what the QRT does. Houston’s industrial corridor is on our doorstep and we’ve supported refinery and plant emergencies, turnarounds and unplanned outages for years.
Yes, and you should. For facilities that can’t stop, we’ll walk the site before hurricane season, work out where a structure can physically go and how a truck reaches it, and agree who can authorise a deployment. It turns a scramble into a phone call.
