Challenges:
|
- Fiber and grounding system was to be installed as
the General Contractor was finalizing the building
construction and in a three month time frame. We beat
the scheduled completion date.
- Installation of Data Communications system cabling
as the Owner was in the process of commissioning their
equipment which meant that portions of the process was
operable.
- Installation of the Security and WIFI cabling
systems while the plant was in operation which meant
multiple shifts required to meet the schedule.

|
This was a successful job for White Electrical
contractors and our
partner, Infosys - A Division of OESCO. We completed each
phase of the work on time or early and within budget to
enable the owner to utilize his network system for operation
of the facility. |
