If
leading-edge technology
matters to you, think
Smart-Wire.
 
Director, Bismarck Cancer Center
"We
save lives here... The electrical contract within this building
was the most difficult contract, not your standard, everyday
office building. It took a lot of teamwork among the architect,
myself, [the manufacturer], and the electrical contractor
to make sure that everything worked together for this piece
of equipment."
Fiber
optics, datacom, low-voltage, digital lighting systems --
wiring and cabling today's equipment is complicated and specialized.
Our world's increasing dependence on telecommunications and
computer networking heightens the need for fast, reliable
performance. Add in the increasing demand for sophisticated
fire alarms, security systems and heating and cooling systems,
and it's not hard to appreciate the demands put on Smart-Wire
electrical contractors to stay on top of the latest technology.
Still, Smart-Wire electrical contractors prove their ability
to keep up with changing technology when they continue to
take on the cutting-edge jobs.

If
better training matters to you,
think Smart-Wire.
 
Facilities Services Coordinator, Missouri River Energy Services
"What
we do here at Missouri River Energy Services is we sell wholesale
electricity. We sell it to 55 municipalities in a four state
area. It is very vital to us that our operation is up and
running 24 hours a day, and we rely on professional, knowledgeable
electrical contractors to do that for us."
Apprentices
working for Smart-Wire electrical contractors complete 8,000
hours of on-the-job training and take 180 hours of classroom
instruction each year for five years. This comprehensive program
is accomplished through the Joint Apprenticeship and Training
Committee. Our training program for electrical workers is
run cooperatively by the Dakotas Chapter of the National Electrical
Contractors Association and the International Brotherhood
of Electrical Workers. The training doesn't stop there. The
JATC provides continuing education opportunities to allow
journeyman electricians to keep their skills sharp and current.
Manufacturers often partner with the JATC to provide the very
latest training for emerging technologies. In addition, safety
and safe installation practices are always foremost in all
NECA and IBEW training.

If experience matters to
you,
think Smart-Wire.
 
Assistant Superintendent, Fargo Public School
"It's
absolutely critical because in this building not only are
we pulling traditional copper wire, we're pulling the fiber
optics backbone for our network system. We expect our electrical
contractors... to be knowledgeable not only in high voltage,
but also in low voltage, which is such an important part of
the operation of this facility."
With
wiring and cabling demands becoming more complex and expensive,
you need to know that your investment in technology is in
the hands of capable installers. You need Smart-Wire electrical
contractors, experienced with the newest applications, knowledgeable
about the most up-to-date electrical industry codes and standards,
and fully trained in the latest installation techniques.

If
an available workforce matters to you
think Smart-Wire.
 
General Contractor, Sioux Valley Hospital and University Medical
Center, Henry Carlson Company
"That's
what we need on these design-build jobs -- fast track jobs
-- so when you need the people there, you can make a phone
call or two and they'll be here to assist you and get your
project done so it'll get done in a timely manner. Get the
owner happy and get it done within budget and ahead of schedule."
With
a ready supply of professional, well-trained workers, Smart-Wire
electrical contractors have a proud tradition of high quality
performance and doing their part to keep projects on schedule.
All of our labor contracts include a no-strike clause. That
translates to no lost time due to strikes or work stoppages.
The few disagreements that do come up are settled through
arbitration, keeping workers on the job and keeping jobs on
schedule.

If
getting your big jobs done
on time matters to you,
think Smart-Wire.
 
Manager, Bismarck Civic Center
"It's
important we meet our deadlines here at the Civic Center because
of scheduling that we have. It's important that we have the
opportunity to do these events. We want to make sure the when
we work with a person that we can meet those deadlines."
Look
at the big projects Smart-Wire contractors have done: Sioux
Valley Hospital and University Medical Center in Sioux Falls,
Great Plains Software Campus and the new elementary school
in Fargo, the Bismarck Civic Center, the Melroe Company and
the BP Amoco Mandan Refinery in Bismarck-Mandan, Cabelas in
East Grand Forks, Reliastar Service Center and Sports World
Stadium in Minot, and Rapid City Regional Hospital and the
Homestake Mine. Whether new construction or retrofit, it's
Smart-Wire electrical contractors who take on the big jobs,

If
safety matters to you,
think Smart-Wire.
 
Project Manager, Melroe Company
"Safety
goes right in at the very beginning... We'll be putting brand
new systems in that to revamp the entire plant. From a safety
standpoint, we can pinpoint a certain zone that would be alarming
out or if we get in trouble. All those kinds of safety features
are built right in."
When
it comes to safety and alarm systems, you don't want to take
any chances. Your whole operation depends on everything functioning
correctly in the event of a problem or accident. That means
you need the installation to be the best. With Smart-Wire
electrical contractors, you can rely on their quality installation
for your fire alarms and security systems. You have the confidence
that the job will be done right, right from the start.

If
quality work matters to you,
think Smart-Wire.
 
Information System Operations Manager, Great Plains Software
"From
an IT perspective, quality of workmanship really makes or
breaks an IT department's success within a company. And as
a global company, we rely on the workmanship... Since all
of the wide area circuits come into this building, the quality
of workmanship and the neatness and attention to detail is
really important across our entire organization, whether it's
Fargo-based or around the world."
State-of-the-art
equipment deserves state-of-the-art installation and workmanship,
and modern telecommunications technology demands the quality
and attention to detail that a Smar-tWire electrical contractor
can deliver. As more and more businesses compete in the global
arena, you need to be ready. For the world, for the future,
for your business, you need Smart-Wire.
