“This project was a 138kV Radial Feed in Texas and had an 8% cost reduction and this one had a 30% schedule reduction, so it was a quite a significant schedule reduction. This customer was very high on reducing time and reducing costs…this project was 104 days of total construction, from breaking ground up to energization. At our post project meeting with our customer, they said they had an internal goal of trying to get to 180 days of total construction time. It’s hard enough to perform this work in the scheduled time, so to be able to reduce any time is a win in our customer’s eyes. So of course, we’ve gotten repeat jobs with this customer, and we’ve been able to maintain the schedule we set forth initially.”
