Hurricane Katrina
Following Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, as the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Advanced Contracting Initiative (ACI) contractor for U.S. Region 3, AshBritt was the Initial Response contractor for both Louisiana and Mississippi.
In Mississippi, AshBritt conducted debris removal, hazardous tree mitigation and demolition services in 17 jurisdictions, covering over 8,400 square miles (22,000 km2) and over 175 miles (280 km) inland.
Other Notable Responses
AshBritt also played a part in assisting with cleanup from Hurricane Sandy, working with at least 15 counties and 43 municipalities in New Jersey to clear around 3 million cubic yards of debris.
In 2016, AshBritt worked across Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina.
AshBritt was contracted to stack shipping containers along the Arizona border in late 2022, as part of an initiative by Governor Doug Ducey to fill gaps in existing border fencing erected under the Trump administration.
Following a threat of litigation by the Department of Justice and two lawsuits filed by the Center for Biological Diversity against Ducey and AshBritt, AshBritt began work to remove the makeshift barrier in early January 2023.
