Each of the jobs listed above is work that we have done directly for the FLANG. These are buildings that are spread out over the base and range in size from 3,000 square feet to 40,000 square feet.The description for the projects listed above stays typical. We are install conduit, wire, and box’s at exterior door locations in each of the buildings. There are multiple doors in each building. The installation at each door is for security. There is a keypad, motion sensor, and emergency exit button at each door. We are also installing the mag lock hardware on each door. We are installing a security panel inside each of the buildings data closets where all of the low voltage cabling is being terminated. Difficulty here is getting access into the multiple buildings. Some buildings are secured and access takes a lot of patience and coordination.
FLANG Server Rooms Power and Ductless split systems
For the job listed above Concise Inc. is our general contractor. Ernie Brewbaker is the G.C’s Project Manager. There is no real square footage to the project due to the fact that we are working in several buildings through out the property. Buildings range from a few hundred square feet to several thousand square feet. Description of work is for the electrical team to install new power for future server equipment, new grounding bars for proper grounding of existing and new equipment, new emergency lighting where none is existing, new lighting in server rooms where acoustical ceiling is being installed, and power for new ductless split system being installed. Challenge is coordination of manpower in out of town work. Coordination of equipment and materials in out of town work. Coordination of all manpower at secured base where you need security badges to be on site. Coordination of all work in multiple buildings through out the base.

FLANG Data Home-runs Building #5
For the job listed above Concise Inc. was our general contractor. Ernie Brewbaker was the G.C’s Project Manager. Square footage of building was in the range of 5,000 square feet. Description of work was for us to run conduit above ceiling and set junction box’s where necessary for the Data/Communications company so they could pull their low voltage cables in. They were installing Data and fiber outlets. Difficulty was that all cables had to be in conduit and the ceiling was full of existing duct work and conduits which made installation harder.

FLANG CTK/Building #22 Power and A/C
For the building listed above Concise Inc. was our general contractor and Ernie Brewbaker was the G.C’s Project Manager. Square footage of building was in range of 6,000 square feet. Description of work was for us to upgrade the existing electrical panel so that more circuits would be available. With the available circuits we installed new outlets for equipment and also provided power to a new 1 ton ductless split system which was also installed by Schwenn Services. When completed we installed a surge arrestor on the panel so as to protect it from any lighting strikes or power surges.
