Severe Flooding Submerged the Factory’s Production Areas<\/h2>\n\n
<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n From November 19 to 27, 2025, heavy rainfall caused severe flooding in Hat Yai, Thailand. On November 24, rising floodwaters overtopped the flood barriers at Semperflex Asia’s manufacturing facility and entered the production areas. Water levels inside the factory reached approximately 70 cm above floor level, submerging critical production machinery, electrical control panels, and associated equipment.<\/p>\n\n Semperflex Asia manufactures hydraulic and industrial hoses for a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, construction, agriculture, mining, and infrastructure. Prolonged production downtime could have disrupted supply schedules and affected business operations.<\/p>\n\n The key priority was to assess which flood-damaged equipment could be restored, recover viable machinery as quickly as possible, and enable the factory to resume production.<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n \uadf8\ub807\uc9c0\ub294 \uc54a\uc2b5\ub2c8\ub2e4.<\/p>\n\n Flood-damaged production equipment may be restored depending on its condition. Before deciding whether restoration is possible, it is important to assess the equipment’s structure, the extent of water exposure, and the condition of its electrical and electronic components. Equipment deemed suitable for restoration can then undergo specialized precision cleaning by BELFOR’s equipment restoration team.<\/p>\n\n In this project, rather than replacing all critical production equipment with new machinery, BELFOR assessed the condition of the affected assets and identified those suitable for restoration. This approach reduced the time required to procure replacement equipment and helped the factory resume operations sooner.<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n Semperflex Asia contacted BELFOR Thailand on November 30, 2025, to request restoration services. BELFOR promptly deployed restoration specialists to assess the extent of flooding and the condition of the affected equipment. Based on the initial assessment and the customer’s target production restart date, BELFOR developed a comprehensive restoration plan. In early December, specialized restoration personnel and equipment were mobilized to the site, and restoration work began.<\/p>\n\n The restoration scope extended beyond production machinery. BELFOR also assessed machine control panels, electrical systems, and associated production equipment, carrying out restoration work tailored to the condition of each asset.<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n Modern production equipment relies on the integrated operation of mechanical components and electrical and electronic control systems. Even if a machine appears undamaged externally, this does not necessarily mean it can operate safely or correctly. At the Semperflex Asia facility, floodwaters affected not only production machinery but also electrical control cabinets and associated electrical systems. BELFOR therefore included the control panels and electrical systems in the overall equipment restoration scope, addressing both mechanical and electrical components. The project photographs show the contaminated interiors of electrical control panels following the flood, alongside the condition of electrical and electronic components after restoration work was completed.<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n Restoring a large manufacturing facility requires close collaboration between the customer’s technical teams and restoration specialists. The customer’s engineers and maintenance personnel have the most detailed knowledge of the equipment, its configuration, and the production processes. BELFOR worked closely with Semperflex Asia’s engineering, maintenance, and production teams throughout the project. Together, they assessed equipment conditions, established restoration priorities, and adjusted work schedules to prioritize critical machinery needed to resume production.<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n The project successfully restored 69 pieces of production equipment and associated manufacturing lines, enabling the facility to resume production. The restoration was completed in approximately 1.5 months (42 working days). Rather than replacing all critical machinery with new equipment, BELFOR restored assets that were suitable for recovery. This approach helped reduce equipment replacement costs and procurement lead times while minimizing production downtime. Semperflex Asia was able to resume production within its target timeframe.<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n For manufacturing facilities affected by flooding, removing floodwater is only the first step. Restoring production operations requires a thorough assessment of machinery, electrical control panels, and electrical systems to determine which assets can be safely restored. The process must then progress from equipment assessment and restoration to testing and the safe resumption of operations. This project demonstrates BELFOR’s integrated approach to industrial flood damage restoration, managing the entire recovery process under a coordinated plan: Site Assessment \u2192 Restoration Strategy \u2192 Production Equipment and Electrical System Restoration \u2192 Resumption of Operations<\/p>\n\n BELFOR Korea provides specialized restoration services for factories and industrial facilities affected by fire, flooding, and industrial contamination.<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n “Following the severe flooding in Hat Yai in November 2025, our production operations were disrupted, requiring extensive restoration work. Throughout the project, the BELFOR team responded promptly on site and provided effective restoration solutions.<\/p>\n\n We were deeply impressed by their professionalism, flexibility, and sense of responsibility throughout the entire restoration process. We are very satisfied with the results and would confidently recommend BELFOR to any company in need of disaster restoration services.”<\/p>\n\n \u2014 Suchart Sae-Pong, Factory Manager<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n \uc774 \ud504\ub85c\uc81d\ud2b8\uc758 \uce68\uc218 \uc0c1\ud669\uacfc \uc0dd\uc0b0\uc124\ube44\u00b7\uc804\uae30 \uc81c\uc5b4\ubc18 \ubcf5\uad6c \uacfc\uc815, Before & After \uc0ac\uc9c4\uc740 \ucca8\ubd80\ub41c Case Study Flyer\uc5d0\uc11c \ud655\uc778\ud560 \uc218 \uc788\uc2b5\ub2c8\ub2e4.<\/p>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.belfor.com\/kr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2026\/10\/SAMPERFLEX-ASIA.png\")
