Value Delivered
Gibson Electric provided a wide variety of electrical construction installations, in over eleven structures, for the complex remodel and renovation of the Bensenville Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Gibson incorporated cutting-edge electrical technologies into the plant and utilized corrosion proof methods during electrical installations for new buildings, which will expand the plant's life span. Intrinsically safe electrical wiring was furnished for hazardous areas in order to provide as safe an environment as possible for plant employees.
All services were performed on a fast-tracked schedule and required diligent planning and coordination in order to integrate new buildings and systems into the existing facility, without interrupting regular plant operations. The overall project was completed on time and under budget.
