Prefabrication Adds Power to Electrical Contractors’ Installation Work
Electrical contracting is, by its nature, a bespoke profession – that
is, every installation features its own unique design quirks requiring
customization. At the same time, though, contractors also now are often
dealing with the need to do more with fewer workers. As a result,
prefabrication is becoming a bigger part of many companies’ operations.

How to Melt Away Your Snow-Shoveling Chores
With winter now in force, the snow shovel and bag of ice-melting pellets
have returned like migrating songbirds to their seasonal perches on my
back deck. I live in a part of southeast New England that doesn’t get a
lot of snow, on average, but is also quite capable of getting buried if a
nor’easter follows just the right track up the coast.

Fun fact. Light travels at approximately 186,000 miles per second. Whoosh.

much non-existent, the technology intrigued me.

What Makes Steel “Mild” – Ironing Out Your Metal Material Options
Looking through a manufacturer’s online enclosure catalog recently, I
came across a term I hadn’t heard before. Now, I’m not a contractor, so I
likely haven’t seen as many of these listings as you might have. But I
am a journalist who has covered the construction industry for several
decades, and the term “mild steel” stuck out to me when it showed up as a
material option for the maker’s broad range of enclosure offerings.
