Excel Corp. of Cargill Foods

Humboldt Industrial Park
Hazleton, PA
The Excel project was for a complete turnkey electrical infrastructure for the Case Ready Packaging Division of Cargill Foods, a beef and pork packaging company. Under extreme time restraint, Arc Electric designed, furnished and installed the required power distribution, lighting, power outlets, fire alarm, security, CCTV sound communication systems and fit out of machinery. Working with Project Managers from Suitt Construction Co., Arc completed the project in record breaking time. With over 50 electricians working multiple shifts and 25,000 man-hours, the project was finished in less than six months—on budget with no lost time injuries. The specs covered a diverse range of electrical work completed during building construction:

Temporary power from utility company source

Main switchboards for digital metering, phase failure, tvss, and ground fault protection

Disconnect switches, wiring and connections to electrical doors, process/support equipment, HVAC and plumbing, NH3 compressor starters, furnished equipment starters

Dry transformers, 277V power circuits in each cooler, 50 ampere 480/3/60 twist-lock welding receptacles

Metal halide lighting fixtures, including various process locations and roof area of condensors

Fluorescent lighting in attic areas, office and welfare areas, dock lighting, exit signs, and parking areas

Systems including telephone servic

e and dedicated lines, data jacks, and conduits to computer room and offices

Hydrogen and NH3 sensors, alarms, and ventilation systems

Multizone fire alarm system with manual pull stations, waterflow detection, horn/light units and control panels

YM/YWCA

Downtown
Hazleton, PA
When ready to renovate their entire building, remove an unsightly front structure, and add a therapy pool, expanded fitness center, and racquetball court, YM/YWCA decided it would be better to hire a construction manager and team players to design, furnish, and install the various infrastructure required. Berger Construction Co. chose Arc as its electrical professional. We are currently working with the Y and CM to deal with old electrical systems that need replacing or updating, as well as new systems to meet ADA standards and National Electrical Code. The project is set for completion in 2/03 depending on weather. Arc President, Bob Judd, has taken the project under his wing due to personal knowledge of the Y and civic involvement. He coordinates day-to-day activities and manpower, solves problems, and suggests ways to save cost while meeting the challenges of keeping all operations functional.

Arc Warehouse
& Office Expansion

West Hazleton, PA
Arc Electric has finished constructing our new warehouse facility! This facility has helped to make room for storing our growing fleet of vehicles and materials. We're also expanding our offices to accommodate the increased work load and customer base, as well as make room for our growing management, sales, and estimating staff.

Johns Manville

Valmont Industrial Park,
West Hazleton, PA
Arc Electric was hired to completely upgrade new and existing equipment for the new Pentane infrastructure. The installation required vast knowledge of working in a "classified hazardous location." We were responsible for proper grounding of all systems, providing explosion-proof fittings and equipment, installing lightning protection on tanks, interfacing equipment with PLC's and environmental monitoring systems. As the project evolved there were many changes and additional time restraints. Arc once again met the challenges head-on, working with Johns Manville engineers to complete the project and checkout of systems within the allotted time frame.

Hershey
Chocolate USA

Humboldt Industrial Park,
Hazleton, PA
Engineers at Hershey's local facility rely on Arc Electric to support their engineering and plant maintenance needs. Our familiarity with PLC controls is key to our ongoing relationship. Our continued safety programs and knowledge of FDA cleanliness standards have fostered an excellent working relationship. In 2001 we completed the fast paced "Global Project." Arc designed systems on-the-fly, anticipating last minute changes, moves, and additions. General Foreman Jon Blewett did an outstanding job managing the 50+ employees, handling daily paper work, and coordinating multiple activities.
2002/2003
We are working on another fast paced project call the "Revised Packaging Line." This job entails complete revising of their existing packaging equipment. We're working with engineers from around the world—planning, designing, and installing the latest packaging technology. Arc Electric is proud to be part of the Hershey team, and looks forward to many new and exciting challenges.

Can-Do Building

Can-Do Corporate Center,
Hazleton, PA
Can-Do needed an office shell building of 45,000 sq. ft., including all amenities. We worked with a local GC to develop a scope of work and budget. The building, located at the front entrance to the Can-Do Corporate Center, is a showpiece - but was not without challenge. While under construction, two companies were considering occupying the entire building. We revamped the electrical design to fit their particular needs and still brought the job in on time and budget.

Quebecor Printing

Humboldt Industrial Park,
Hazleton, PA
Quebecor Printing has been in the Hazleton area since 1989, beginning as NADCO Inc. We originally did this job as a subcontractor, and developed a good working relationship with the plant engineer. Since then, we have been providing electrical support when needed. Our involvement includes machine wiring, maintenance of their substations, the design/build of two additions, and the designing of the power for a new stand-alone air compressor building, fire alarm, security and wiring for their composition and pre-press areas, plus all computer cabling. Quebecor is always upgrading and Arc Electric is behind them every step of the way.
